These guns are also posted for sale elsewhere.

I'm not sure how much interest there will be here, but I figured I'd post them in case someone was into these old guns. I'm slowly cleaning out the gun room and I need to unload some projects. I can take/send pictures of anything specific you would like to see and I'll try my best to answer any questions you may have. Shipping will be from a non-FFL in Western Pennsylvania... If you'd like to meet up and you're in my area, that's totally doable as well. Only trades I would be interested in would be Merkel O/Us, non-military Brno sporting rifles, or a Beretta S56e or S57e in 20 gauge. I'd also be interested in a savage 1920 or possibly a Hi Standard Model B. All prices are plus actual shipping.

1. Husqvarna Model 640 in 8x57. Commercial FN action, very good bore. Nice bluing, scope bases, some dings on the stock and there is a repaired chip behind the tang $550

2. Mauser sporter in 8x57. Very good bore, hinged bottom metal, model 70 type safety, claw mounted German scope. Probably made after the war. Jaeger trigger, stock isn't anything to write home about. The scope mounting system is set up to accept European scopes with rails on the bottom. $700

3. Oberndorf Mauser 98 sporting rifle in I believe 7x57. Ribbed barrel, very good bore, hinged bottom metal, peep sight. Appears the rib started to lift from the barrel on the receiver end and someone used an epoxy to keep it on. Not terrible looking, but not great. Stock is not original Oberndorf and the bottom metal doesn't match the numbers from the barrel and receiver. Oberndorf bones in the great 7mm Mauser $900

4. Krieghoff Mauser sporter in I believe 8x60. Very good bore, 3 leaf rear sight, hinged bottom metal. Drilled and tapped for a side mount on the rail. I do not have a mount for it. This one will probably need to be reloaded for. The chamber is a little tight on some 8x60 I purchased from Reeds Ammo. It will close on it, but it's tight. Lightweight rifle $650. 2 boxes of 8x60 will be available to be purchased by the buyer.


SHOTGUNS
From top to bottom:

1. Franchi AL-48 ULTRALIGHT 20 gauge choked improved cylinder $500
2. Brno 12 gauge SxS $600 excellent
3. Brno 16 gauge side by side $850 excellent
4. French 12 gauge sidelock $250 cracked toe and slight wiggle in lockup
5. Italian Armeria San Giorgio 12 gauge engraved sideplated $700 some chips on the forend. Beautiful engraving
6. Italian folding single shot 12 gauge with rifling in the barrel $250 very strange gun, stock is a little rough, super light weight

I’d like to see additional photos of all the Mausers please, especially the scoped and 8x60. I’d like to see any maker or proof marks also please.
 
Do you have more pics on the 7x57

Do you mind me asking what auction you are referencing? I'm not in the market for any of those rifles...just curious.

Frosty in Fort Worth
Getting some culling done!

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,

Kelly Palmer
Gents, if you book and pay your deposit before the end of this year , you can have the bigger cull package for the 2026 price! https://www.africahunting.com/threa...griffiths-safaris-starting-at-us-2-560.96285/
