Three rifles for sale. Auction style.

[Catshooter]

I have no way to know their value, so, auction. I know some here don't like auctions, sorry. This auction runs from now to the same time next Thursday (3/11). Post questions & bids here please. I'll announce the winner here. The rifles will ship from an individual to your FFL. Please make sure your FFL is cool with that. I can do FFL to FFL but it's more of a hassle, adds $20. Shipping is on me, USPS. Payment is by USPS money order only unless I know you. If it has to be by check then I'll have to hold it, blah, blah.

1. 03A3 Sedgley in .257 Roberts. Twenty inch barrel and it's got a very pretty bore. Please start at $100.




2. Ishapur (Ishapore) Enfield in 7.62x51 (.308). This is a 2A, I believe. Bore is good, strong rifling but it's not perfect, as one would expect. Un-altered from issue condition with it's seventeen foot barrel. Please start at $100.




3. Swiss 93 in 6.5x55. This is also un-altered condition. Bore is quite nice. I have 36 rounds of Winchester and 5 Win fired cases that will go with the rifle, packed separately though. I'll have to put the pics in the next post, hang on. Please start at $100.

Thanks for looking.

I’m in for $100 on the Enfield.

[timspawn]

I'll bid $250 each on number 1 and number 2.

[Zingger]

I'll bump #1 to $300

[magdump]

$200.00 on #3 please.

[jakharath]

$300 on number #3

[NikA]

Can you clarify on #3 please? More pics would help. From what's posted, it appears to be a Swedish M96 that has be arsenal modified to the M38 carbine configuration.

[gnoahhh]

Uhh, #1 isn't an 03A3. It's most likely a low numbered '03 which dominated Sedgley's production which was in the 20's-30's long before the 03A3 intro. It does have a WWII-era Smith-Corona 03A3 bolt retro-fitted to it.

[Ed in North Texas]

NikA is correct, the Swedes produced their military rifles in 6.5x55, the Swiss introduced the 7.5x55 with their Model 1889 rifle.

$300 on #2 ishapore

#1 03 , $325

[hornsurgeon]

#1 $350

Regarding #1, one picture shows the bridge/top of action not drilled. Other pictures show Weaver style bases. What gives?

[Catshooter]

Oh the shame and embarrassments! You guys have exposed me to the world.

The first pic for the Sedgley was actually a pic of the Swiss/Swede action. I've moved it in with the S/S group. Does that help NikA? I don't know a Swiss from a Swede, obviously. It will chamber a 6.5x55 from the mag, though I haven't fired it.

The Sedgley is indeed an 03, not a 03A3.

I apologize for my mistakes, I promise I'll never make another as long as I live.

In light of my mistakes anyone can withdraw or change their bids made so far.

Yep, that helps a lot. That's a Swedish M38 carbine manufactured by Husqvarna. Bolt is correct for that model as well (converted M96s have a straight bolt, new manufactured M38s have the bent bolt).

Thank you for the additional info.

The big confusion for me is that a Swiss M93 is a quite rare carbine variation (Mannlicher vs Rubin straight-pull system).

[Catshooter]

Well, good NikA. Thanks for the help.

[Drm50]

#1 03, $355

[jr612]

Can you post some pictures of the Mausers bore.

[Catshooter]

I'm sorry jr, I can't. I tried to get pics of the bores but couldn't make it work.
