First up from the FIL's inventory is this Midland bolt action in 30-06. It is made by Parker Hale in England and imported by Jana Denver, CO. I made a bunch of pictures so instead of posting all of them here I will post the link to the photobucket album to view them.
http://s1126.photobucket.com/user/cheotis/slideshow/midlandThis gun is built on a Mauser style action. Controlled round feed, BDL style floorplate with opening button built into the front of the trigger guard. It has iron sights, front still has the hood, the rear sight flips up and down. Receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, currently it has filler screws in the holes. Recoil pad is original, has "PH" (Parker Hale) logo on it (see pictures). The gun has sling studs. The front stud is a blind stud that looks to have been epoxied into stock but it was not set flush (see pictures). I pulled the action from the stock and there is no hole in the front barrel channel where it could have been bolted through. The trigger in my opinion is pretty sweet on this gun (much better than my rem 700 with the X Mark pro trigger!). Looking down the barrel the bore is bright with no dark spots and the rifling is crisp and pronounced.
Imperfections: there is a light scuff on the right side of the stock below the action. The grip cap area has some cracking in the clear finish. All the metal looks quite good, there is one small blemish on the underside of the barrel forward of the stock (picture with my finger in it). I have shown all of this in the pictures.
Price is $475 shipped CONUS. If you are in Alaska or Hawaii we can work something out. I am not trying to make money on shipping, just want to get the darn thing to you. Add $30 if your FFL requires shipping from an FFL on my side (no real reason why this should happen). The first "I'll take it" posted publicly on this post gets it. Public post wins over a private PM saying the same thing or an offer. Gun is only listed here for now. I will be posting multiple guns so I am creating a generic paragraph for the guns, terms of sale, etc. Unless otherwise stated I have not fired the gun. Unless otherwise stated there is no original box. Absolutely none of the guns come with a bipod! The gun has not been shot since the 90's and judging by the condition is was never fired much. Payment by cashier's check, MO, discrete Paypal, or personal check. I reserve the right to withhold shipment until I am satisfied the money clears. I will allow 3 day inspection but no negotiating after sale. I will refund the price of rifle with buyer paying return shipping. I have a few people on "ignore" here so I reserve the right to not sell to anyone I choose to. This paragraph makes my head hurt, but after some of the BS here lately this seems like it needs to be stated.
I have been a member here for years and have never had a bad transaction with anyone AFAIK. I live by the golden rule "treat others as you would like to be treated". I can smell BS a mile away and just by knowing my last name (very unique and not hard to find if you are looking) a quick Google search will show both my jobs, one of which is a reserve police officer.
If you want pictures of something I don't have shown please message me.
Only trade interest is a Browning ATD take down model in 22lr.
Thanks,
