bsa looked it up so I won't dispute it....but I thought the lines got fuzzy moving from pre war to transition,and pre war receivers were used in some transition models.The safety is clearly transition.

Another thing is the rear receiver ring is tapped and drilled...many pre war's were not.

Edited to Add: It's a Type II,Transition receiver.Not pre war.Smooth rear bridge and drilled and tapped.

In clarification of my above statement, I should have said "rounded over". My original Supergrades finish differs from the rifle in question, therefor I am sticking with my judgement that the stock has been refinished.

The finish looks correct to me. There is usually a light crack in the finish where the forend cap meets walnut. To tell for sure you'd need an inspection period. I've often wondered, if it's done well enough one can't even tell, does it matter? Sometimes there's just no way to be sure if one's been "cleaned up".

This is a nice rifle for sure....before dumping $3k a guy would want to see it in person, or get the inspection period.

Finish I dunno...from here it looks OK and the SG's had better finish than the regular models.

I had the "Holy Grail" of Super Grades.....from a rarity standpoint this one is "common".Redneck knows the story cry....I really screwed up on that one blush It was so unusual I bought it "knowing" it was not original and eventually sold it at profit.Big Boo-Boo! eek

Oh well!

Horsman it was a SG 264 Win Mag.The SG was dropped as a catalog item the year the 264 was introduced...Rule's book does not list a 264SG;and says the SG was made from 1937 to 1959...so,supposedly,the 264(introduced in 1960)was not made as a catalog item in SG.

The fellow I bought the rifle from and I,both "knew" this....I could not be assured the rifle was factory original but bought it anyway(it was mint),at no where near the price a SG would bring.

Figuring it was not original,I loaded for and shot it,brought it to Alberta to hunt,gouged the checkering in one spot eek

Later I sold the rifle,made a small profit....and forgot about it until I saw a picture of another 264 SG in Whitaker's book.(evidence that they did make some;possibly custom shop)...my heart sank and I knew right away I had screwed the pooch.

A year or so later,I saw the rifle on GunsAmerica or GunsInternational(I forget which) for about $7-8k.It was mine alright,as I recognized the wood,and the gouge in the checkering... I wish I had kept it,not for the value, but I liked the rifle and cartridge. It was very accurate and had lovely wood.

Hi fellows, I'm new to this forum. I have some interest in this rifle on Gunbroker. I was wondering what this rifle should sell for assuming it was original? Any help is appreciated.

I'd guess he's hoping for interest from folks who'd move along if they saw a $3000 reserve.

Lots of seller's run their auctions this way... and usually receive a poor result. The item goes unsold and lots of people who take a look move on and don't look back. People get real excited and real involved with the auctions that start at a penny and have no reserve. On a popular and desirable item (such as this rifle) this usually works very very well.

This man's rifle did not sell.

I agree with above. Yeah it's a type II transition model- safety gives it away. FWIW many of the cloverleafs were used in magnum length actions even after the calender "transition" period.FWIW as far as Pre War safety conversions is concerned one can guestimate the date of converion by the lever used, eg I have a Pre War 375 H&H with a Tilden safety and my transitions IIRC I think with both the type I/II safeties.

I see the auction has been relisted and the bidding is about $400 more than the end of the previous auction. It's sort of like someone has a gun for sale, they show it to you and you ask, "what do you want for it?" And they don't answer you... frown
