Thanks Mehul. This Daniel Fraser was built sometime between 1893 and 1913 on a M93 action. Need to take a chamber cast but believe it to be a 303 Fraser rimless "Velox". I've always wanted one of these. WVFRED was kind enough to pass this one along and allow me to be the new caretaker for a while. If anyone has any information as to when this rifle was built (serial # 2902), I would appreciate the input. The silver monogrammed shield in the stock indicates the owner held the title of Earl. The wood to metal fit is unbelievable. Any and all comments are welcome.

I believe the gun was made in 1892 or abouts, and Fraser commonly used a 303 British / 7.7mmx56R .311 bore, there's much confusion on this it seems but every cast I have taken has been the standard British version. Bores will range in size .309 to .318 in some cases. He did make a "303 Fraser rimless" but they are extremely scarce and almost never seen. Also, "Velox" does not stand for rimless, it stands for velocity extra. This rifle is a grade 2, as Fraser made 4 grades.

By the way, your welcome Don.
