I wanted to offer this rifle for sale to the membership before I list it anywhere else.
You can find extensive photographs here as well as the discussion of the construction and proof marks.

As mentioned in the thread the bore is in very poor condition and I planned on having it rebored to 9.3 and then rechambering to 9.3x62. The safety is not operational in my opinion, as it has very poor engagement. I do not know if someone messed with it over time, but it should be fixed prior to making this a hunting rifle. The side holes from the side mount scope need welded up. I started fitting a set of custom rings. Fit an Oberndorf lever release. My intention after all of this was to rust blue the barrel and bottom metal and color case harden the receiver and bolt.
I can quote the above work for anyone should they be interested.
I would like to start by asking $750 for the rifle.
