London.” on the rib. Tops of bbls are engraved “500 3 Inch Cartridge Solid Taper Case” and “80 Grns Cordite .570 Grn Soft Nose Nickel Bullet”. Rear express sight with one standing and two folding leaves is marked for 100, 200, and 300 yards. White porcelain bead front sight it longitudinally dovetailed into matted base. Bbl flats are stamped with London nitro proofs for 500 express, 80 grains of cordite, and 570 grain bullet. PHV – 1 action has non-automatic safety (“Safe” in red enamel on small silver bar dovetailed through tang), bushed strikers, and double triggers. Case hardened action is engraved with about 30% coverage of nicely cut scroll with geometric borders. “Army & Navy C. S. L.” is inlaid in gold on each side. Floorplate, top lever, and trigger guard are also scroll engraved. SN is inlaid in gold on trigger guard tang which extends to engraved steel grip cap. Dense, stump figured walnut full pistol grip buttstock measures 14-9/16″ over black leather covered pad, and features 20 LPI checkering with double line border. Matching splinter ejector forend has pivoting front lever release. Drop at heel: 2-7/16″, drop at comb: 1-5/8″. Weight: 12 lbs. 1 oz, LOP 14-9/16″. CONDITION: Excellent, as completely refurbished. Bbls were originally 26″ but have been professionally shortened and re-regulated, and retain 85-90% fine London quality re-blue, thinning and browning toward rear from handling and use, silvering at muzzles. Action retains 80% correctly colored re-case hardening. Engraving remains sharp. Well done, correctly shaped, newly made stocks retain most of their finish, with numerous marks, commensurate with remainder of gun. Action has just a hint of looseness, and a glimmer of light shows on breech faces, but feels tight with forend on. Ejectors are in time. Bores are very fine with strong rifling, showing slight throat erosion and some frosting at breech end, with very slight ring about 1″ in front of chamber of right bbl. An exceptionally fine working rifle in a highly sought after caliber. 4-40948 MGM172 (15,000-20,000)
