This is a wonderful double rifle with excellent bores. It appears so much to be a sidelock I had to remove the sideplates to be sure it was a side plated gun. The claw mounted scope is a crystal clear Leupold vari-x III1.5x5 in excellent condition. BSW was the name of the gun making business in Suhl after the Nazi's took over the the Simpson business. It was changed back to Simpson after WWII.

*Includes dies and brass 60-80, and near 100 bullets ( 285g .5 softpoint round nose Norma)

Comes with two boxes of ammunition but two rounds missing from one box so a total 38 loaded factory rounds.

A classic with a super bore in great condition. The scope with the G&H side mount is a very nice Leupold VAri-X- III 2.5x8.

I tend to have a prejudice towards English and European bolt rifles but the G&H rifles I certainly make an exception.

Featuring near 90% original case color and near perfect bores this is a stunning little hammer double rifle. No markings on the gun indicating caliber but the measurement's of a the chamber cast show it remarkably close to our 38-55 Winchester so there is very good chance this brass could be used. See scan of chamber cast and measurements. Keep in mind that chambers are usually slightly over size to actual brass dimensions to prevent sticking.

Daniel Fraser is one of my favorite Scotish gun makers and especially rifle makers. This gun has excellent bores. Built in 1890. *The barrels have light but very present pitting on the outside of the right barrel. I do believe this could be struck off and re-blacked to look excellent.

This is a classic BPE double rifle from Scotland. The rifling is quite strong but near the chambers there is pitting but cleans up to very nice toward the muzzle. I believe this rifle will shoot extremely well.

The forend is missing its horn and the sights are missing the two folding behind the main sight. The gun is slighty off face so does need a rejoin soon.

What a joy this would be to carry and hunt with in the field at well under 6 lbs. I have hunted with this cartridge for years and found it totally effective on everything from Moose on down. It is very similar to our 30'06 and in fact that cartridge was much copied from the 8x57. The bore on this rifle is excellent

The claw mounted scope is a crystal clear Leupold scope 1x4 VARI-X IIc.

*I, having had the rifle several months just detected a professionally repaired crack in the wrist. It is so well done it even fooled me even though my training and expertise is in invisible crack repair. It is extremely well done and obviously super strong, but I am lowering the price to account for this. An excellent rifle in a super easy to get caliber. I will even throw in a box of 20 new ammunition to go with it.

I have hunted with and I guess will admit to collecting these Manufrance French trigger plate double guns for years. They still fascinate me. This great example features chopperlump barrels and the retractable in-stock sling which works perfect. The Rifled barrel is excellent and sharp. The shotgun barrel appears mirror when examined from the breech but when inspected from the muzzle I can see some light pitting in places. Only cosmetic but I want you all to know it is there.

This gun is in very nice condition with much original case color remaining. I am told you can shoot shot out of the rifled barrel also so can still be used as a double barrel shotgun.

This is a wonderful classic German sporting rifle on the 98 Mauser action. Features include full rib, claw mounts and original and clear German scope, classic sporting stock with schnabel tip, flat sided bolstered side panels and round knob checkered pistol grip.

The bore is excellent and I noted the trigger pull light and beautifully crisp.

Mannlicher Schonauer Model 1903 in the classic 6.5 MS ~ This features what the English called "The Take apart" action

The forend screw is brass which is not original but all else is very stock which I love. The rifling is strong showing little wear but there is frost between. All that I see with this one, the rest is all positive. The rifle is the "Take Apart" model meaning the action and barrel can be removed from the stock without tools, basically a form of a quick take down rifle.

I do know this gun will shoot super and be a joy in the woods. The Model 1903 is probably my personal favorite deer rifle ever.

This vintage little Remington we had the barrel lined by premier barrel gunsmith John McGlothin so the barrel interior looks and shoots like new. Obviously, the outside of the gun has seen no restoration but some of us like them like this, so we decided to leave well enough alone and sell it as is, ready to shoot or restore.
