FOR SALE .38 Fullstock Short Rifle

BigSkyRambler · Sep 29, 2024

Reduced. This looks like a combination of antique and modern components. The heavy .38 barrel has a SN under breech end. It is 28x1 1/16 with a fast twist of around 1:21.5. I believe the stock to be antique with a GOLCHER lock and functional double set triggers. Brass fitted. The barrel held in with three pins. Both the breech of barrel and the tang face are roughly ground off. Stock has two hairline cracks shown in photos. LOP is 13 3/8". Weighs about 9.9 lbs. $300 + Shipping.

No back story. Came with a group of guns.

Apparently not. The rifle is put together using antique stock and modern barrel. Whoever put it together took a shortcut at breech end. The rear of barrel and the tang face do not have matching grind marks.
