Fabrique Nationale Carlos Rasetti 16 gauge

[Gun Watch]

Fabrique Nationale Carlos Rasetti £25 16 gauge Shotgun Private Seller Used - Poor Condition Bishop Burton, East Riding of Yorkshire Side by Side, 1/2 Choke, 3/4 Choke, 30" barrels

Description

Gun is FN made for Carlos Rasetti (Argentinian firm). I bought it as a project gun and it is still a project gun for someone wanting to try their hand at restoration.

The good: metal fit is great. The action is tight and smooth. It has the top action cross bolt and the lockup is perfect. The inside of the action is pristine as I pulled it to pieces, degreased/cleaned/polished, lightly oiled and reassembled. The gun has the best balance and feel of a long barreled gun I've ever felt. It weighs just over 6 lb and is balanced perfectly. The bores are bright and beautiful. The forend is in good shape.

The not as good: the wrist is broken. I thought I could fix it, but it wouldn't go back together well enough. The rear stock should be replaced (I was going to, but realized I don't have the patience to cut my own stock). The metal is in ok shape on the outside. No rust, but it could use some rebluing. I reblued the trigger guard and it looks good.

PM if you're interested. f2f only as it isn't worth shipping. I can take some pictures if you're contemplating a project of your own.
