British Sequoia Mannlicher ?
13/03/21 12:47 PM

I Found this example a few years ago looking for a new home.
The only example I’ve seen marked 1924 and in take down form. It is of course chambered in 3006.
It was proofed in 1928.
The rifle can be described as in Good overall condition.
The Serial number 636 does appear to be in the dedicated number range for Sequoia rifles and at the higher end of those currently known It Appears retailed by CB Vaughan of London, (English Market), who was in fact a consistent RETAILER of Mannlicher rifles.
I’m guessing its left over stock from the failed Sequoia order and managed to escape any remarking. It does NOT have the Sequoia reference on the barrel, but does have the typical multi leaf folding sight.
Something of interest (or not) is the front TD fastener. In place of the spring-loaded pin it has a threaded screw. My first reaction is to say that’s an aftermarket replacement for a lost pin.
The offside of the pin escthochoen is threaded to take the screw.
Whoever made it, factory or otherwise knew what they were doing. Further there were two spares in its case along with a pull through.
Factory, or (English) Gun maker??

If we consider Sequoia rifles to be relatively rare, then I’m tempted to think this example be may quite uncommon.
If anyone has a 1924 in this format, or knows of one please let me know, I’m keen to compare notes on this rather different English Model.
