Oh Yeah ! very nice looking Moose, well done.

Just there is the chance of such bad weather in Alaska & you can be near the salt air a lot, certainly water any way

I would say not many place's like in Aussie you can drive your vehicle out for a hunt & have good weather .

I have hunted a fair bit in Alaska & there may be a lot of animals in the State but there sure is a lot of land in between them !

Sarg you got all that right. I do the 10 day float trip each year same river. We almost always get 1 moose sometimes 2. Both bears and wolfs are on the menu also. Caribou usually closes 1 or 2 days before we begin. I usually coat the rifle with Johnson's paste wax. It's for cars but does a heck of a job as a water repellant. I do the inside of the stock as well.

Steyr 1892 .375 NE caliber rifle. Holland & Holland on a Model 92 Steyr action. Excellent condition. Scope optics are excellent. Scope is a quick detach and scope is numbered to the rifle. Gun is in leather luggage case with Holland trade label, scope case, cleaning rod and sling. Very nice Holland & Holland rifle on a vintage Steyr action!

Although it's been was a circuitous route, I've ended up with this beautiful H&H Steyr - now I'm trying to find ammo and clips... Anyone with a warm trail for either?

Bertram brass make both the rimmed and rimless. Kynoch sell factory loaded rounds. Very nice looking rifle by the way.

That's a very nice Steyr.
Keep your eye on Gunbroker for the clips - I recently got a half dozen very clean ones for about $40.
You can make the cases from .405 Win, there's a ready supply of Hornady brass. The rims will need
reducing in diameter and thinning a little.

imho, Hornady's 405 Win is the best basic brass
clips becoming rare, buy them whenever you can

I just picked this up. Knew it had been rebarreled but thought it was still in 6.5x53r but it appears to be 303 british. Only marking is on the left receiver wall, "hembrug 1914". Barrel slugs .309 and 303 brass chambers after pushing the shoulder back just a bit. A light cast load fired with no issues. Anyone recognize the rear sight? Should be fun to play with.

You can see that the barrel does not exactly fit the stock.

The chamber actually seems closer to 30-40 krag in dimensions but 303 brit functions better in the clips. The krag brass has a bit too large a rim.

probably a 1950s indonesian rechambered rifle
Indonesia bought a lot of 303 Brit surplus ammo India had for sale than from WW 2. I would not hesitate to go again with a 303 reamer because they maybe did a bad job than.

Both sights appear to be of the type fitted to SMLEs prior to WW1. So, appears to be a SMLE barrel fitted to a Steyr action.

Thanks, that is good to know. I had a good time shooting it this afternoon. It shot right to the sights and is accurate. The fired brass looks good so I have no issues with the chambering job. As I mentioned, I had to move the shoulders back just a little bit on the new brass to get them to chamber but that's a good thing as the brass now fits the chamber perfectly.

Looks like an Enfield .303 barrel and sight.

The Small Arms Factory in Lithgow officially converted some of these for the Dutch East Indies in WW2.

Can you read the proof marks on the breech of the barell or any markings on the sight?

Got my 1901 actioned spotter the other day, a lot better condition than I thought & the pitting I thought might be on the action turned out to be engraving !

Nice shiny barrel, buuut has been bloody smooth bored ahhh !

nice rifle, I see some potential

if it was a 6,5x53R before maybe it can be rifling for the 303?

Sarg, may have to rebarrel your rig - shame its a beauty!
We used to have Sprinter arms here in SA that rebored rifles, might be lucky your side of the ditch!
Apart from that I guess if you could send to the US it would be able to be done easily, plenty there - but importing/exporting a barrel?
Might be an option - albeit expensive one!

Yes broke my heart as I looked down the barrel, it would have gone nicely with my BSA/lee speed sporters, same sights & engraved .

Yes it was a 6.5x53 so a rebore to 303 is in order, all the better for only being marked "nitro proofed" no caliber, just getting it to & back from the US is a major now days !

I have two rebored barrels stuck over there right now !

another interwar austrian made M93 sporting rifle for sale,
you see it the vienna snap mount
https://www.kunst-waffenkammer.de/feuerw...cher-m18931914/
6,5x53R, with "Steyr 1914" it could be a rifle made for romania but never delivered because the start of the great war 1914

Nice looking rifle, I particularly like the bolt handle which is very stylish.
