@Esoteric Junkie beautiful rifle and the complete collection of accessories shows attention to detail.
Did you purchase the collection complete or have to piece it together?

Harold Wolf used to do restorations on rifles like that. I bet he could make it look showroom new.

No one in their right mind would "restore" a rifle like this one. Any "restoration" work would destroy the value.

You are uniformed with the process he used. He removed the oil soaking from the wood, oil soaked dirt from the metal and retained the original finish. Brought out amazing finish. Stll an old rifle.

Old world beauty. Hold on to that one. It’s a keeper for sure.
Do you also have the enbloc clips for the rifle ? Otherwise the weapon unfortunately becomes a single shot.

Hello,
Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.
Thank you for your time,
Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
