**WWII BRITISH BOYES MK 1 ANTI-TANK RIFLE (C&R).

**WWII BRITISH BOYES MK 1 ANTI-TANK RIFLE (C&R). SN C6900. Cal. 55 Boyes 39″ bbl. This Boyes anti-tank rifle includes one magazine and two orig rnds of ammunition marked “K.39 W.I”. This rifle has British proofmarks and is dated 1940. The bbl matches the receiver. This weapon appears complete including muzzle break & monopod. Bolt operates smoothly in the action and is matching. Monopod adjustment works fine. This weapon appears fully functional. The Boyes anti-tank rifle saw extensive use by British and Canadian forces during WW2, and was an effective weapon against light armored vehicles. PROVENANCE: Collection of Carl “Bill” Morrison. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is about 40% with much of the finish loss on the bbl. The bbl is a nice gray patina with some spots of brown scale which should clean up. The bulk of the retained finish is on the receiver and rails. The magazine retains 90% of its deep blue finish. The forward hand grip is very good with a 1/4″ chip on the right front at the bottom. The rear handle is in good condition with some bruises and gouges but is very solid. The cheek rest is also in very good condition with some bruises and handling marks, but completely serviceable. The rubberized shoulder recoil pad is split at the top as is commonly found, but the rubber is still soft and pliable. Oil brush is intact inside oiler, bristles are still soft and pliable. The bore is dark and in need of a cleaning. Rifling is strong. Bolt and bolt face are extremely fine. Receiver could use a good cleaning but is also fine to extremely fine. This would make a welcome addition to someone with an WWII anti-tank gun collection, or with a destructive device collection. 4-48662 JWK20 (3,000-5,000)
