.256 Mannlicher by George Gibbs

Still working on a load, I haven't decided what to mann1910.jpgdo with it or even if I need a 1910. It is a little odd, has a 23 1/2 inch barrel and still a full stock.

my 1905 is also 23 1/2 in barrel, I think this is pretty normal for them around this time frame. Nice rifle by the way. does yours have scope mounts on it?
 
Yes, wish it didn’t. The front is a normal claw mount, the rear is different than any I’ve seen. It was for sale on a website for a long time. The problem was no magazine, a block of wood was in its place. I made a low ball offer and to my astonishment, they accepted. When I got it the bore was black, turned out to be grease, it has a very good bore. I searched the internet for months for a magazine assembly, no luck. One day I looked on eBay and there it was, I made an offer, he accepted. It fits like a glove and functions perfectly with both Speer 235gr and Hornaday 270gr round nose. I think this rifle is like many hard kickers, carried a lot, shot a little. 7lb 4oz empty, original steel trap door butt plate. I have a 1910 for a small investment.

+1 Great to deal with. I purchased custom rifle. No issues.

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary

Booked with Harold Grinde - Gana River - they sure kill some good ones - who'd you get set up with?
