Very cool!
I really like the 1893/95 Mannlicher sporters.
 
Harold Wolf used to do restorations on rifles like that. I bet he could make it look showroom new.
 
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.

Did you enjoy your black powder buffalo hunt?
Any report about the hunt here on African Hunting .com?

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
