HEAVY 28 1/2 inch round barrel ,bright bore with sharp rifling, no rust pits scratches dings at all on this rifle ! Trigger breaks clean and crisp at 3 # with just a tiny bit of creep, very nice set of range ready sights, rear veneer sight is set up with a Hadley style cup and a front globe with a post insert. I really don't know who built this rifle but they did an outstanding job. There is a Stamp crest on top that's says Republic Del Salvador. action locks up like a safe. The rifle weighs in at 12 lbs. I shot 500 grain montana cast bullets with 24 gr. of 5744 and was very comfortable shooting AND very accurate! $900.00 shipped to your FFL.

Silver Creek Jack 138 Posted July 9, 2019 I will take the forearm off tommorow and see if the is anything that would identify the mfg. No idea who did the barrel work. Will check the rate of twist also tommorow. SCJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muley Gil SASS # 57795 87 Posted July 10, 2019 If Remington built it, it should be stamped on the tang (under the tangent rear sight). How much does it weigh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My first centerfire rifle was a .43 Spanish carbine that had been reblued. There was very little of the tang stamping left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
