WTS: Mle.1886 M.93 Lebel, all-matching ANTIQUE
WTS my 1893 dated Mle. 1886 M.93 Lebel long rifle. It is 100% matching and apparently had some work done at a French arsenal, probably between the wars. Prior serial numbers have been cancelled out on some parts and re-stamped with the rifle’s serial number (see pics). It went through the chamber modification to Balle ‘N’ standards as marked on the barrel shank.
The bore is FANTASTIC, and not at all what I would expect from one of these, or any rifle this old. Very bright with very strong lands throughout. The outside of the muzzle experienced some rust at some point, but it does not appear to have intruded into the crown. The elevator and cut off switch work fine. It is missing the front barrel band, but if you pick up one of those it will be complete. These are much harder to locate now after the WWI Centennial, especially in this kind of condition. Includes the pictured ersatz sling. This is an Antique, and does not require an FFL to purchase. I will need a photocopy or scan of your DL for purchase. $1,175 shipped Thanks, Pat Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rifle is currently SPF.
Thanks to all who expressed interest. If anything changes I will get ahold of you directly, in the order in which I heard from you. Best- Pat
