That particular rifle was owned by me. I sold it at an OGCA (Ohio Gun Collectors Assn) show to a buyer/rep from Cabellas the summer before last. The wood has been refreshed/refinished. Checkering recut. Perhaps some of the blue 'enhanced' but that's harder to tell from the pics. It was quite worn when I sold it but a sound rifle. Metford cocking piece, orig 10shot mag w/engraved border matching the receiver engraving. Co-Op number on the guard and A/N Co-Op on the dust cover. I recognize the home made 2 link chain & stud on the mag/trigger guard. It's one I placed on it just before I put it up for sale. More of a safe guard to keep the mag from disappearing from the rifle during a gun show that an attempt to deceive. Though the originals did have such a small link in place usually. The bore was VG as I recall, though worn in the throat I think. IIRC the Headspace with commercial 303 gauge was at the end of the No-Go range or just past it. I'd have them check it before purchase to be sure. Though it can be simply overcome by reloading practices, it's a good buyers chip to play if in fact it is on the lengthy side. I think I have a pic though rather poor quality of the rifle yet on my computer. It won't show much but if I can locate it, I'll post it. I may have some pics of the internal pieces too as I took some to show the matching numbers and assembly numbers. They're working a rather small margin for a Cabellas gun,,,with what they paid for it plus any work put into it and their asking price. |
