[el indio]

1916 Swede 6.5x55

 

[commygun]

1912 BSA SMLE. Can't pick it up without thinking about what the BSA factory was like the day the rifle left the place. Dray horses, boy apprentices, women in long skirts. It was a different world that was just a couple of years from changing drastically.

 

[gunboat57]

Swedish rolling block, made in 1867 and rechambered to 8X58R Danish in the late 1880s.

 

[Indigo22]

Stevens Favorite 1889 model. SN. O 80 ... I purchased this rifle this last summer and it is finally getting it back into shooting condition. It is awaiting a test firing to tell if the firing pin will need to be changed out or not. The bore amazingly still has some faint rifling in it but it may need a little fire lapping to bring it back to a bright finish.
