It’s a reluctant sale as I shoot at the local home guard range with it which used the same rifles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really get sentimental over guns , but I think I'd be keeping that little cracker . It's one of those guns that the next lucky owner will cherish.

Downforce Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 Looks a great bit of kit but having just gone through the delay of a variation process I don’t know I can cope with doing it again without a decent break to “recover” Out of interest how does the magazine look?

It is basically the metal magazine with the internals taken out for the empty brass to drop into. It’s worth the wait😉 it’s a reluctant sale.

Yes it single feed. they did at the time make a wind up mechanism to fit into the shell but they proved to be useless and are very very very rare to find. The one I did see go in auction for was worth more than the rifle itself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
