Dusty Morningwood Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 SOLD This is an all matching and complete 1870/87 Italian Vetterli rifle in 10.4x47R. Both wood and metal are in VG condition and it functions perfectly. The downside is that the metal has been professionally re-blued. Still, all of the stamps are clear and crisp, so whoever did the work was a pro. The Wood has typical dings, but nothing egregious. Stock cartouche is clear and crisp. Bore has sharp rifling and is a little frosted. Asking $400 SHIPPED for what should be a good shooter. Might consider comparable trades. I'm flexible and interested in anything I can flip. Can take more photos. ANTIQUE SHIPS TO YOUR DOOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Black Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Apropos of nothing, Skeeter Skelton wrote of a gentleman corresponding with him about a Swiss Vetterli he had which wouldn’t “shoot very hard” because he was using 9x47r ammunition in the rifle. Skeeter told him he had a fine rifle and if he found some 10.4x47r ammunition his rifle would indeed “shoot much harder”... good luck with the sale.

Jack A Diamonds Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Dusty I got your e-mail but you must not have gotten mine.Payment is on the way If anyone knows the borderlinekid, you certainly should, because I have bought items from you before. If you want to call the deal off, that is fine too. Thank you. The Borderline Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Morningwood Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 Saul Goodman. Just failing technologies, BK. Between your emails not getting to me and all of my records as to past transactions locked in my crashed computer, things just got a little cloudy. My mind is cloudy enough as it is with too many transactions in the air. So, no harm, no foul. Sorry to cause a stir on the Wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack A Diamonds Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Mr. Morning wood I am posting this here so that you cannot later claim not to have gotten my e-mail. If you want to sell the rifle to someone else or list it on Gunbroker, that is totally fine. In any case, I will stop payment on my check first thing in the morning when the bank opens. I believe that will conclude our business. Thank you. Good day. The Borderline Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just when I thought you were a stand up guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack A Diamonds Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Dusty Actually I have relented a bit this morning. If you want, we can continue with the deal. It is up to you. I still think you can get more money for the rifle on Gunbroker. If that is the problem, I can send you more money. It doesn't matter to me. I guess you need more frequent updates. Thanks.

So send payment and your shipping address and I will get the rifle out in good order and well packed. Thanks for your purchase. I do appreciate a repeat buyer.
