SNIDER COMMERCIAL SPORTING RIFLE BY I. HOLLIS.

SNIDER COMMERCIAL SPORTING RIFLE BY I. HOLLIS. SN NSN. Cal. .577 Snider. 27″ Tapered round bbl with under-rib, is mounted with folding V-notch rear sight, and sliding ladder graduated to 700 yards. Barleycorn front bead is on square block. Case hardened and blued Snider pivoting block action is stamped “Snider’s Patent” and with S over arrow Snider logos on block and receiver ring. Bar lock has heavy rounded hammer. Lock and hammer are engraved with well cut scroll. “I. Hollis & Sons” is at top front of lock over somewhat naive portrayal of Shikari taking aim at enraged, charging, corpulent tiger. Scroll engraved trigger guard has stylized pineapple finial with checkered loop forming grip. Nicely fiddle-figured and lightly streaked European walnut stock measures 14-1/2″ over steel butt plate, with vacant German silver oval and sling eye on toe line. Forend is steel capped. Bbl mounts to stock with side nail through shaped steel escutcheons. Steel cleaning rod mounts through two plain pipes (one with integral sling eye), and filed steel tailpipe. Drop at heel: Approx 2-1/4″, drop at comb: Approx 1-1/2″. Weight: 7 lbs. 1 oz. LOP 14-1/2″. CONDITION: Fine. Bbl retains traces of orig blue, turning to gray brown, and with some evidence of old cleaning. Breech block retains a considerable amount of its orig case hardening color, as does lock. All metal parts are coated with heavy grease or cosmoline, so it is difficult to see finishes. Stock retains what appears to be an old oil finish with grain slightly raised. Bore is excellent, bright and shiny. Lock is crisp. This handy little rifle would probably make a great shooter. 4-42709 MGM230 (3,000-5,000)
