That's a beautiful gun that's for sure.

I almost bought something similar but the barrel was chewed up from being stored for a long time (years) after firing and not being cleaned.

But that just looks in brilliant condition, it definitely deserves to see some use on game and the 303brit is a great old round sadly under used these days.




If the chamber is good, it could be re-bored and rifled in say, .8mm/303 or .35/303.

.303 brass easily necks up for the larger ctgs., 8mm, .35 and .375. I made some of them some time ago just to look at.
I kept a few and even have head-stamped .27/303 case in the box.
The .35/303 is a good looking round. I think if I was to go to the .37/303, as done by Ken Waters, I'd go with the improved case.
