Cal. .475 #2. 26″ Shoe lump bbls with file-cut quarter rib mounting single standing, two folding leaf express rear sight and ramped front base holding gold bead front, with porcelain flip-up night sight, are engraved “F. C. Scott. Bath Street” and “Birmingham England” on tops. Bbl flats are stamped with Birmingham nitro proofs for .475 express, 85 grains of cordite, and .480 grain bullet. SN is on bottoms of bbls. Coin finished screw grip boxlock action features non-automatic safety (SAFE relief engraved), bushed strikers, double triggers, and slight reinforcing bolsters. Action is engraved with 80% coverage well cut English scroll. “F. C. Scott.” is on both sides of action. Blued top lever, floorplate, and trigger guard are also scroll engraved. SN is on guard tang which extends to steel grip cap with trap. Well laid out plain European walnut full capped pistol grip buttstock measures 14-5/8″ over russet brown leather covered pad, and features classic shadow line right hand cheekpiece, checkered side panels, point pattern checkering with mullered borders at grip. A sling eye and gold oval engraved “CFM” are on toe line. Matching splinter forend has pivoting lever release. Drop at heel: approx 2-1/2″, drop at comb: approx 1-3/4″. Weight: 10 lbs. 6 oz. LOP: 14-5/8″. Traditional green canvas case with leather trim and brass corners, is lined in burgundy cloth with paper F. C. Scott label on lid, and contains pair of snap caps marked “R” and “L”, square oil bottle, the key, and ten rounds of Kynoch ammunition, 5 solids and 5 softs, held in “Uncle Mike’s” “Sidekick” belt pouch. Consignor states additional Kynoch ammo available for this rifle after purchase. CONDITION: Fine, as refurbished. Bbls retain essentially all of a satin rust blue. Action coin finished over a bit of light pitting and numerous marks. Blued parts retain nearly all of their blue. Stock refinished, retaining nearly all of that finish. Wood is slightly under metal, checkering re-cut. Grip cap is a modern replacement. Recoil pad is well done and new. Bores are fine with strong rifling throughout, dark in grooves. Action is tight with evidence of having recently being rejointed. Right bbl is slightly off face. Case is excellent with a few minor scuffs and discoloration. Interior cloth is very fine with some minor rubs. Reproduction label is excellent, as are accessories. This would make a great working rifle, as stock is sound, bore is decent, weight and balance are about right, and caliber is one of the best available. 4-47362 MGM95 (12,500-17,500)
