Re: 303 Fraser

Aye, WVFRED, a beauty indeed. If that's the one I'm thinking it is, I lusted after it as soon as it was listed but called a moment too late, you lucky devil! I had one of these Fraser takedowns in .375 Rimless Nitro (aka 9,5x57 Mannlicher) several years ago and was an absolute idiot to let it go. Mine was built on a '93 action with the guide rail along the center of the left lug raceway. The trigger, 'Fraser's Patented Trigger Mechanism', was one of the finest I have ever used.

Fleming's book "British Sporting Rifle Cartridges" shows a couple of entries associated with Fraser in that caliber, one listed as the '.303 Mauser (7.65mm Fraser)' which appears to be identical to the 7,65x53 Belgian-Argentine Mauser round, and another that is listed as the '.303 Fraser Rimless' which appears to actually be a rimless version of the usual .303 British. Sounds like chamber cast time, but what a rifle! Major congratulations!
