Just plain neat, Fotis. Congratulations. Don't know that I could have helped myself!

I already have a GBL in 45-70 but this one is rare as hen's teeth. Had one before but foolishly sold it.....

I know what you mean Fotis. That's a really sweet looking rifle. Veerrry nice!

Unforunately, I'm a really naughty chap & bought this last Saturday....still waiting to bring it home though....6.5x54MSch.
Now searching for dies and acquiring new brass

Been in touch with Apel in Germany for scope mounts...it's all on the move for when I have my authorisation to 'possess' from the police.

 

[FOTIS]

That sir I would LOVE to have!

That is a most fascinating cartridge in a classic rifle. Congratulations. Lovely to behold.

You all are sick sick sick! Spreading this virus around infecting others. Next thing you know we all will be slipping things into our homes in long packages.

You mean you don't do this, David? :shock:

 

[truck driver]

That is a great find Fotis, Congrats :!:
DrMike I learned along time ago that you can't slip anything into the house with out the Wife knowing :shock: :roll: :lol: so I just don't try anymore. I just tell her I'm buying it and then bring it in the house no surprises and no stress. :mrgreen:

Nice rifle Elmer, I had the Model 1952 fully stocked version in .270 Win some time ago. Beautifully made rifles.

Pretty piece of history is right. That is something special I would guess. Nice! CL
