Of all the various hand-selected models of the antique military rifles and muskets that I have ordered from A/C, this is by far the best in over all condition. The metal has been refinished and is a deep blue color, including the cleaning rod. Shallow pitting however, is present in places under the bluing. The wood has a few minor dings and required a good wipe down to remove the packing grease. The barrel under the forearm was grease coated. The stock bolt came out easy and was coated with grease. The butt stock has a very nice cartouche from the Rawul-Pindi Arsenal in India and a 1908 date. There was surface rust in the bore and it took a good cleaning before the patches stopped coming out with tinges of red on them. The bore is not pitted however. 12/17/2009 |

I purchased one of these back in January, and after a couple weeks of cleaning it looked great. Mechanically in excellent condition, bore was beautiful, wood was in good shape. Loading is a bit of a challenge finding all the right components, but they are available. At the range, it is a very accurate rifle. Trigger pull is relatively heavy, but shooting at 200 yards offhand I was able to accurately call my shots. I did pay extra for hand select and think it was well worth the extra money. Great rifle! 4/13/2009 |
