They are sold out unfortunately. I tried to purchase it as well a few months ago

Someone asked me about stock dimensions on this one. I don’t have a perfect way to measure but it looks like ~2” drop at comb and ~3-1/4” drop at heel.

I don’t know. I will say it looks like several other higher grade LCs that I have seen for sale but with some of the best wood grain. It certainly may have been refinished at some point though.

Thank you for the kind words guys. Also, I forgot to mention that the chambers are 2-3/4”

I bought this gun awhile back in a group of guns and always thought it was very nice but I really don’t need it. I am not an LC Smith expert but from the research I have done, this appears to be a very nice example of a pre-1913 No 3 grade gun. It has a very attractive amount of remaining case...

This rifle is Sold Pending Funds. Thank you!

You guys are awesome. After looking at several example that I could find online, I think it must be a Lenard Brownell rifle also. Definitely the bolt handle and scope mounts as well as overall style point that way. I removed the buttplate do there were no markings under it either.

I am selling a few more select rifles out of my personal collection. This one is a very fine Custom Mauser Express rifle in 7x57 Mauser. This rifle was purchased from the, now long gone, Fine Gun Room at the Bass Pro Shops in Dallas several years ago. The salesman thought that it may be a Duane...

Well darn. Will let others enjoy the good deal then. Thanks That’s probably the only downside to my preference for vintage rifles. Well worth the inconvenience though IMO.

That’s a great deal. These would be fine to use in vintage doubles since they are Woodleighs, correct?

Thank you all for the kind comments. Traveler, I am close to Edmond in the OKC metro area.

Just for fun, here are a few photos of my "keeper" copy of this book. Sadly, this one is not for sale: This one is inscribed by Selous to his friend E.N. Buxton. Seems Mr Buxton was a well known conservationist and was well connected within colonial Africa. At Selous' suggestion, Teddy...

This book is indeed sold to Kevin. I am honored that it will soon grace the Selous Suite. It looks like a wonderful place to stay. :)

Kevin, that suite is beautiful. I would be happy to accommodate as I can. If you have someone in the US headed your way, I would be happy to ship to them. I will PM you

Weekend bump. Thank you.

The book is currently still available. Thanks

PM Sent. Thanks

I am selling my spare first edition (1893) copy of A Hunter's Wanderings in Africa by FC Selous. It is in very good shape as professionally rebound and still has the tip out map as shown (see pics). Also has an original bookplate from Rowland Ward where it was likely first sold. I always thought...

Wow! What an incredible set of rifles [emoji16][emoji16]

Dewald did come through and I did receive the book from him. DHL was very efficient in delivery from SA to the US. He was extremely helpful and he kept me updated throughout. Deal with confidence. I think he will do whatever he can to find you a copy and get you taken care of.

Very big “Thank You” to Dewald for securing a copy for me in SA and sending to me promptly. He is a great guy and went above and beyond. Thank you again

I am a big fan of the 600 NE for the history and sheer power and audacity of it. This may or may not matter to you but those snap action underlever 600s are WJ Jeffery rifles. Jeffery was the originator of the 600 NE and thus the original snap action WJ Jeffery doubles are the quintessential...

Yep, I was looking for info on his Rigby 577 Farquharson rifles also

Does anyone have a list of Keith’s rifles? I know most of them were auctioned off by James Julia a few years ago but my understanding is that his son privately sold a few off prior. Thanks

That was a great pick up if you weee able to get one. I have been looking for a copy awhile also. I tried to place an order but told they were out of stock. Hopefully you got one?!

Beautiful rifle and seller is great to deal with. Buy with confidence

Absolutely stunning sable. That rifle is beautiful also. I bet it is a sweet shooter. Congrats on both!

This is not my old gun. Similar configuration and nice condition but a different rifle.

This is a nice rifle. PaulB is a newbie here but he is GTG. Buy with confidence. :giggle:

I sent you an email about this. Thanks

I sent you an email about this. Thanks

I could bring an original prewar Jeffery 500. I got it out of Southern Africa. Would be ideal to bring it back there and hunt with it.

Those are some nice examples. I would really like to find a Lee Speed in .303 by one of the top British makers (H&H, Rigby, Westley, etc) that has some decent engraving. They are nice little rifles

John is the man on the 505s. There are some on the list that are stateside for sure.

That is a tough one. I have found an original 416 Rigby to be one of the toughest to find out of the classic British cartridge rifles made by their namesake maker. Even though original Jeffery 500s and Gibbs 505s were made in lesser quantities, the original Rigby 416 seems to be the toughest to...

Here is an early pre-WWI Rigby Rising Bite made for a Maharaja that is game scene engraved. While still an early rifle, this engraving is a little more lifelike and refined compared to the Rodda or Westley Richards game scene engraving from the same time. No doubt because it was executed by the...

Totally agree with this. They are definitely not super lifelike but they really speak to me. They have a real historic charm. One has to remember that the engravers that did this work had most likely never seen these animals in person and were working off of sketches or possible crude...

I really liked the RB Rodda prewar chisel style engraving that is found on some Maharaja owned guns. Here are a few examples:

If you happen to find anymore, I will take one.

This rifle is sold pending receipt of funds. Thanks!

Haha. I hear you! I should say, I had "US only" in my description. However, I have in fact, sold rifles to people abroad before. I am actually OK doing that as long as all that I have to do is get the rifle to the exporter for proper export and the buyer handles all of their own fees and...

I believe these were 3 rd capacity on the 505 Gibbs and 500 Jeffery chamberings. Here are some specs that I found on an old CZ Safari Classics .505 Gibbs rifle page: Chambering .505 Gibbs Rate Of Twist 1:10 in Magazine Capacity 3 Magazine Type Hinged Floorplate Stock Turkish Walnut...

I have for sale a CZ 550 out of the Safari Classics “custom shop” for CZ big bores. It features a 24” barrel, fancy walnut stock with nice dark grain throughout, mercury recoil reducer installed in the stock, matte finished metal, super slick and smooth action, CZ set trigger, express sights...

I have a .505 Gibbs CZ 550 safari classic that I have been considering parting with. It is similar to the one that just sold at the GB auction above posted above and is near new. I have not shot it and it looks new but I can not swear that the guy that had it before me never fired it. PM me if...

Cal, that is a pretty special rifle and kit. I love that one!

Man, what a nice example of a Shiloh Sharps. I was just getting ready to post that I would take it til I scrolled down and finally saw the “SOLD” post above. Congrats to both parties

Those are great additions as well. Maybe a takedown MS in 6.5 retailed by Gibbs (a la WDM Bell)? A Lee Speed by H&H or WR would be very nice

Ahh. I meant to have the 300 H&H but it got inadvertently left off. The G&H 30-06 is a good one to add too. Thank you!

I will start off with one I have posted before. This is a prewar Rigby Rising Bite 470 NE:
