Sleeping beauties, what do you think?
      #70842 - 05/02/07 11:39 PM

What a great forum! As this is my 1st post I thought, I share some pics with you.

Double rifle:

William Evans 9.3x74r
probably 1897 (
was .303 originally, rebored in Ferlach
will need a lot of TLC





Single shot:





Don't know anything about it, but it looked like a bargain.
Seems to be austrian or german, around 8mm, bore is not in good shape.
As the barrel is quite strong and this type of action is not the weakest either, I am considering to get it rebored.

What do you think?

--------------------
It is possible to kill an ele with a 6.5 Mannlicher, but I don't want to discover that I don't belong to those who can!
