    Wts- falling block works 30-40 krag improved/25-20 single shot

    Falling block works hiwall. it's a model "H" (the large frame) set up currently for 30-40 Krag improved with a set of RCBS FL dies and some formed brass(40). The dies dimensions are smaller than the chamber up front but they work. I have been neck sizing with a 300 short mag. I have only shot a bit of cast in it .The groups were about minute of angle with the RCBS 150 fn and 15g of 2400.i have not worked with it a bunch except for this load. Scope(different scope on gun in pictures) is a Weaver 4 -16 Classic Japanese made with a .25 (?) dot.Front Weaver base is shimmed up to get it to zero.maybe another base set wouldn't need it but it's the ones I had.
    It has a beautiful stock and a nice trigger.

    25-20 single shot barrel has a flat BR forend bedded and screwed on. (I have never tried to get the forend off )I believe is 1 in 10 twist.it shot a 118g Spitzer breech seated great. The simple push type seater is included(if I remember where I put it!)
    It comes with a RCBS full-length die set and 50 brand new BELL basic (long) cases and three Bertram I use when breech seated.you must be careful indexing case so the rim stays behind the extractor with the 25-20.The Krag doesn't have the issue.

    I can email pictures to those interested I've just included one picture of the gun as set up in Krag improved.

    The dies,brass and scope alone are about $600 value.

    $1500 plus shipping from me to your ffl direct.
