*VICTOR SARASQUETA SIDELOCK EJECTOR DOUBLE RIFLE WITH DIES AND AMMUNITION. SN AM57756. Cal. .25 Krag. This surprisingly well made small caliber double rifle has 24-3/8″ chopper lump bbls with raised, flat, matted rib engraved “Sarasqueta Eibar” at rear, is mounted with single standing express rear sight, dovetailed through. Raised front portion of rib mounts longitudinally dovetailed high silver bead. Bbl flats are stamped with what appear to be spurious British proofs, and caliber. Bottoms of bbls are stamped “1533 gmos” and “6.3”. Case hardened full sidelock action is stocked to the fences and features automatic safety (S inlaid in gold), hidden third fastener, bushed strikers, reinforcing bolsters, double triggers (front articulated), and raised rib tumbler end cocking indicators. Action and lockplates are engraved with well cut small scroll with rose bouquet highlights in typical English style. Fences and bolsters are relief engraved in floral and acanthus motif. “Sarasqueta Eibar” is in lozenge shaped depression on bottom of action. Scroll engraved trigger guard extends to steel pistol grip cap. European walnut full pistol grip buttstock has considerable burl grain in butt portion, and measures 14-3/8″ over skip-line checkered wood butt with engraved steel heel and toe plates. Stock also features large right hand cheekpiece, point pattern checkering with mullered borders, diamond hand, and drop points. Matching splinter ejector forend has Anson release. Drop at heel: approx 2-3/4″, drop at comb: approx 1-3/4″. Weight: 7 lbs. 9 oz. LOP: 14-3/8″. Rifle is accompanied by RBS two die set for 25 Krag along with forming and trim dies, approx 100 rounds of custom loaded ammo in Remington brass, and a test target. CONDITION: Fine. Metal retains most of its orig finish, both blue and case hardening color, which is quite strong where protected, and on lockplates. Stocks retain what is most likely an old glossy oil refinish. Checkering is slightly worn, and borders filled with finish. There are numerous marks from minor handling and use. Top lever, trigger guard, and grip cap retain most of their orig blue. Bores are very fine with some darkening in grooves (may clean). Action is slightly loose. Bbls are off face. Ejectors are slightly out of time. Dies are excellent. Ammo appears to have only been loaded once. A great little deer rifle in need of a bit of TLC. It balances and handles very well. 4-47092 MGM7 (4,000-6,000)
