Ultralight Sheep Rifles for Sale NULA/ULA/Forbes/Fieldcraft/Bansner

[Wildwillalaska]

Gents this is a bit of a laundry list so I apologize, but at the same time, it’s what I was able to get together in what feels like an unending lack of time. These are all rifles I’ve had for 4-7 years and never shot, ones I’ve meant to post for sale over on another board for almost 2-years and just never get around to it. With sheep season opening here shortly, meant to post them about 3-weeks ago, but in my own prep for the season and work and family, I totally failed on getting them up. I’m much better at buying guns than selling them apparently. Maybe why I have like 37 old model Ruger Blackhawk 45’s amongst others taking up space.

Anyway, here is what there is, and please if genuinely interested in one particular rifle, feel free to reach out and I can get more detailed information, photos, etc. And sorry it’s likely confusing between the descriptions and pictures. No worries if folks lack interest since these are not really Safari type rifles, but figured I’d give you gents a first crack for a few days. I’ll suspend the ad before I’m out for a hunt so there isn’t any issues, and plan to post to these to the campfire when I return.

Other than the black cerecoated and black stocked rifle with gray/white stripes, all of the rifles have stainless barrels. If it has a silver trigger, it is a Jewel, others are Timney. The Forbes rifles and one green cerecoated Colt Light Rifle are all full custom conversions completed by Melvin Forbes. So the actions are Forbes or Colt, but the total remainder of the rifles are same as a complete NULA build. The one light green, speckled stocked and fluted rifle is a Bansner full custom with Lija barrel and has rings to match although not pictured, in 7mm Weatherby Mag. I have brass for it too. The Bansner 7mm Weatherby is $2,750 with brass.

The two Barrett Fieldcrafts are both 6.5 Creedmoor and limited editions, black one is a threaded 22” barrel and the green stocked gun is a 24” barrel. Both new, unfired, with boxes…albeit the 24” gun’s box is a little rough since the gent I purchased it from shipped the gun inside it and taped the corners. They are $2,500 each plus shipping & insurance.

The green cerecoated Gun in the black stock pictured with the fieldcrafts is the Colt Conversion mentioned above, is a 25/06, is in perfect working order, low round count per previous owner, but has a couple handling marks. It is $1,950 plus shipping & insurance.

The NULAs and ULAs are all $3,500 each.
The ULAs are the light gray stocked, stainless barrel, jewel trigger, in 284 Win and the black cerecoated, black striped stock in 280AI.
The NULAs are the green striped stock, stainless barrel, jewel trigger in 260 Rem and the Green webbed stock, stainless barrel and Timney trigger in 280AI, which the action on that rifle is also signed by Melvin Forbes.

The Forbes conversions ($2,500+ shipping/Ins each) are the tan stocked with fern pattern, stainless barrel and jewel trigger in 6.5-284, brown stock with oakleaf pattern, stainless barrel, jewel trigger in 6.5 Creedmoor, and then green striped stock, stainless barrel, Timney trigger in 284 Win.

I’m going to try and post these in order, the photos have rifles grouped, first pictures are all the 7mm, then the 6.5mm cartridges including the Fieldcrafts, with the one 25/06 thrown in with them.

Cheers,
Will

Man, you have a lot goin' on in your ad. I guess tossing them all in one ad saves time, tho'. GLWS!

 

[Wildwillalaska]

Your observation is not incorrect. And while it possibly saved time in listing, I made up for it answering questions I set out in the ad, but fairly so because it’s someone buried in the mix. I was both trying to help out if someone was on the hunt for one of these cartridges and give you gents first crack before posting to the campfire. The traffic there is insane and especially for things sheep or backpack hunting related. It can prove overwhelming for the seller at times, and with me doing final prep for a hunt, just wasn’t a real option.

So figured I’d list them all in one. If anything jumped out to folks where they wanted it, we’d work it out and I’d freeze/suspend the remaining portions of the sale until I’m back from this hunt. Once back, I’ll move the ad to a more appropriate, trafficked forum.

Feel my theory was sound, but in practice it’s like a dumpster-fire expressed in a venn diagram. For that I apologize .

That's an excellent collection of sheep hunters you have there Will. Good luck on your hunt!

Bansner SPF. Thank you JES Adv.

Man, just seeing this. Good buy on the Bansner, John Ed!

 

[wildwilderness]

Very nice, tempting for sure…

 

[Wildwillalaska]

The green camo stocked 280AI Nula, bottom/right of the first photo next to the black 280AI, is also SPF.

Gents, appreciate all the questions and those that reached out. Heads up that I need to shift gears after mid-day tomorrow. I'll post suspending the WTS for the remaining rifles for any not spoken for at that time. If someone decided they wanted something, I'll remain totally happy to discuss when I get back home and can give folks the attention deserved.

Cheers,
Will

 

[Wildwillalaska]

Green stocked Limited run Barrett Fieldcraft is SPF.

 

[longrangehunterII]

I'd like to purchase the ULA model 24 in 280AI S/N 95-083!

 

[Wildwillalaska]

Kevin, check things out and play with options on scope, etc on your end to make sure that the LOP will work for you. We’ll catch up when I get back from my hunt. If you decide it will work and you still want it, I’ll consider it yours…won’t sell it out from under you, so no worries. It is one that I will most likely keep anyway if you don’t take it. Pleasure talking to you.

Will

Gents, with that, thank you for looking and this ad is suspended for a couple/few weeks.

To all who has liked, commented, reached out to talk and/or even picked up a rifle, special thanks to you.

When I get back, I hope to sort through which ones I still want to part with, get better individual pictures and make a less-busy, more understandable ad. But with only a few weeks then till moose season and taking my kiddo for her hopefully first moose, have to admit it could take me longer.

Cheers,
Will
