Remington Keene Carbine in 45/70 caliber, s/n S141, with a unique 20" barrel length (the books say 22", however, I have examined this carbine very closely and am certain the barrel/mag tube are at factory original length.) The bore is bright and shiny with strong rifling and only light-what appear to be uniform storage pitting. This fine example shows fully 95% original blue finish on the barrel, mag tube and receiver with the trigger guard worn to about 50%. The only real flaw are some gouges on the barrel, (shown below) just around the rear band from where someone carelessly tried to remove it. Strong traces of light case colors remain on the rear band and hammer. The original half-length stock has never been sanded, there are no cracks and retains lmost all its original finish with a few minor dents and dings. Trap-door buttplate is faded to mostly grey with traces color. In perfect operating condition. Overall NRA Antique excellent + plus SOLD

Savage Model 1899 (early 99A, a great classic 99!), .303 Savage caliber made about 1910. Serial #99466. 26" round barrel has a beautiful shiny bore and mechanically the gun is in excellent condition. Barrel-receiver retains about 40-50% original blue, rest grey, some strong case colors remain in protected areas of the lever. The wood is worn to about very good with the original crescent buttplate and the buttstock actually has a little fancy figure, some dings and dents from hunting and there are three lineal cracks in the buttstock at the top of the wrist. Factory open rear and Rocky Mountain front sight. Overall about NRA Very Good. consigned, FFL required. $795.00 (the deal on this rifle just got better; present owner has included an as-new set of Redding dies, 66 rounds of 303 brass and 60 rounds of new WW factory .303 Savage ammo!! add $10. additional for shipment of ammo)

Stevens "Favorite" marked model 1915, serial #0227, 22 Long Rifle. 24” round barrel has an excellent bore. Barrel retains 90% blue-browning, action is faded to mostly grey with traces blue in protected areas. Stocks in very good condition with perhaps 75% original varnish that is full of flaked areas. Good HR buttplate. Action "snaps shut tight" and is in perfect working order. FFL or C&R is required. SOLD

Just In! Here is a very scarce U.S. Model 1903 Springfield, 1923 NRA Sporter barreled-action, in 30-06 of course. The assembly includes the cutoff assy, front sight base and a stripped bolt that headspaces to this receiver. Also included are the original trigger assembly and trigguard. The follower has been ground to prevent the bolt from "locking back" after the last round has been fired. The bolt is marked with an "F" and a "1", it is blued with about 50% finish remaining. The barrel and receiver retain 85 to 90% of their beautiful original Springfield Armory rust blue finish. There is some light freckling on the outside of the barrel towards the muzzle and some heavier pitting under the wood line.

The star guage number under the barrel is B323 and the barrel is dated SA 4-23. Inside, the bore is shiny throughout with nice rifling and some lightly worn lands as you get closer to the chamber; rifling at the muzzle is crisp, and there's .170" of a LC 1943 vintage M2 ball bullet present between the crown and the casing. This must ship to a valid 01 or 03 (C&R) FFL. $1500.00
