Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds 240 Gibbs on 1917 Eddystone

Yes you read that right. This is a custom rifle built around a 1917 Eddystone. I have no idea who built it or when but... I sure like to imagine ol' Rocky Gibbs putting his experienced hands on this beauty. (It certainly could be an original by Gibbs but of course I have no way to verify this). Birds eye maple with rosewood end cap, jeweled bolt, etc. I wouldn't call the barrel a bull barrel but it's pretty stout. Blueing looks very good on the action and barrel but there is a bit of surface rust on the bolt and extractor. (Which looks like it would clean up with a little steal wool without much effort)

It comes with a full length sizing die and a bullet seater and one full 20 rd box of ammo along with a partial box - 7 loaded and 13 fired.

Asking $900 shipped for the package. Feel free to make an offer.

One of the things I hate about this site is all the boring rifles for sale in the classifieds.

That would sure make a first rate coyote blower upper...be a real screamer.

I shot this rifle once and it grouped about 1 - 1 1/4 " with the loads that came with it.

Let's go $800 shipped

A few more details:

-barrel is 20 1/2 " from the muzzle to the action.

-the weaver bases on the rifle will come with it.

$750

Has it been converted to cock on opening and what does it have for a trigger?

It has been converted to cock on-opening and I don't know about the trigger but it is VERY good.
