    New Purchase!

    RE:


    Mr FedEx came by my house yesterday and delievered this:

    Bayo:

    Pic's taken w/cell phone - not the greatest quality....

    (I'll post more pic's once I clean it up and get )

    Simpsons, LTD Description:
    7.5 Swiss; 85% blue, very good bore, good stock, 23.5'' barrel, Made in 1924. Blue metal finish, mounted in a walnut stock and beechwood handguard. Matching bolt and magazine. Includes the attached leather sling and an
    M1918 bayonet by Neuhausen in very good condition, complete with scabbard and leather belt frog. The metal finish shows some wear and handling. The stock has been lightly sanded, showing scattered small dings and scratches. Mechanically fine. The bore is clean and strong. Muzzle=7.57+

    So far I'm pretty happy!

      Very nice, I like that it already has the sling and bayo included. Do you load 7.5X55 Dennis? I've had the dies and brass for over a year and still haven't loaded a single round of it yet, too busy with my other ones.

      I collect Military Arms and enjoy shooting in local matches. I also collect older Lever Actions, especially those chambered in odd/old cartridges. If you have a nice old Winchester or Marlin in 25-20, 32-40, 38-55, 40-60, 45-70, etc etc, please PM me and we can work out a deal.
