OP TexasChase Campfire Regular T Joined: Apr 2012 Posts: 631 Central TX	This is a relisting. Haven't been on the fire in a few months but I need to move this thing since I got laid off a month ago. 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 $650 shipped for the package.
