This gun is marked with a date of 06/45 as the date the gun was tested at the British factory and made available for civilian service. This rifle is old and may be older than 100 years in age. The gun shows signs of wear but appears to be in good condition for its age and service. The rifle has all the primary parts including magazine, aperture sights and muzzle break attached. The breech and barrels are clean and show no signs of damage. The gun is ready to fight another war and may have seen service in either the Korean or Vietnam war. The gun was taken in trade and has been fired one time by me to verify it shoots and damn if it don't kick like hell. Will consider trades non firearm related items or maybe a decent 22 pistol.
