*DANIEL FRASER BEST BOXLOCK EJECTOR DOUBLE RIFLE WITH EXTRA SET OF BARRELS AND CASE. SN 3164. (ca 1910) Cal. 400-360/ 338 Win Mag. This fine rifle, by this Scottish maker noted for his exceptional single shot rifles and excellent attention to detail, has original 27″ chopper lump 400-360 bbls (this caliber was a favorite of Dan’l Fraser) and 1975 vintage Ferlach made 24″ chopper lump 338 Win Mag bbls. Original bbls have full length finely file cut rib, mounting one standing, two folding leaf express rear sight and gold bead front with flip-up porcelain night bead longitudinally dovetailed into raised portion of rib. Central portion of rib is engraved “Danl. Fraser & Co Gun & Rifle Manufacturers 4 Leith St. Terrace, Edinburgh”. Breech ends of bbls have 3/4″ triangles of scroll. Bbl flats are stamped with London nitro proofs for 360 express, 55 grains of cordite, and 320 grain bullet. This cartridge has essentially the same ballistics as the vaunted 9.3 x 74R and cases are easily made from 9.3 x 74R by shortening approx 1/8″. Bore diameter of this particular rifle is .365, and .366 diameter bullets are readily available in many weights. SN is on one piece loop/ splinter. 24″ Ferlach bbls have broad full length rib swamped in center forming quarter rib and front sight base. Maker went to great lengths to reproduce the look and quality of the original bbls, file cutting the rib and finding an express rear sight to match. Rib is engraved in the same place and manner as the original “Barrels for Danl. Fraser Rifle No. 3164”. Claw mount bases are fitted at rear. Tops of bbls are engraved “Cal. 338″ Win. Mag.” and “Regulated for 250 Grain Bullet”. Bbl flats are stamped with 1975 Ferlach proofs. Bottoms of bbls are stamped with “.338 Win. Mg.” and “Bohler Rasant”. Proprietary unique to Fraser boxlock action with deeply sculpted serpentine fences and lunate extension to rear of frame, features automatic safety (SAFE engraved on inlaid gold band), pivoting safety bolt (“Bolted” is engraved on inlaid platinum rectangle), pivoting crossbolt third fastener, side clips, bushed strikers, double triggers, and ejectors. Action is engraved with exceptionally well cut, very small, shaded scroll with rose bouquet highlights. “Danl. Fraser & Co” is on each side of action. “Fraser’s Patent” is on top lever pivot. Scroll engraved trigger guard has SN on grip, which extends to horn cap. Beautifully marbled and nicely figured Circassian walnut full pistol grip buttstock measures 14-1/2″ over checkered wood butt with engraved scalloped steel heel and toe plates. An engraved screw holds checkered central cover giving access to stock bolt (all Fraser boxlock guns and single shot rifles are through bolted). Stock features nicely shaped drop points, point pattern checkering, nicely shaped shadow line right hand cheekpiece, and a vacant gold oval on toe line which is also fitted with Fraser’s unique flush mounted sling eye. Long splinter ejector forend has Anson push button release. Original 360 bbls: Drop at heel: approx 1-3/4″. Drop at comb: approx 1-1/4″. Weight: 10 lbs.11 oz. LOP: 14-1/2″. 338 Mag bbls: Drop at heel: approx 2-1/8″. Drop at comb: approx 1-7/16″. Weight: 10 lbs. 1 oz. LOP: 14-1/2″. With 339 Mag bbls is a Kahles 1.5 – 4.5X scope with duplex reticle in sweated-on see-through claw rings. London quality oak and leather case with brass corners is lined in red cloth with space for gun, both sets of bbls, and scope. Reproduction Fraser label is on lid. CONDITION: Very fine. Orig bbls retain most of an old re-black over some marks and dings, and are considerably thinned and spotted at normal carry point. Bore is very fine, right bbl with considerable pitting toward breech end. 338 bbls retain nearly all of their orig blue. Bores are excellent, bright, sharp, and shiny. Action retains a considerable amount of its orig case hardening color, strong where protected. Floorplate retains nearly all of what appears to be its orig charcoal blue. Top lever is considerably silvered and flaked. Trigger guard re-blued, and retains nearly all of that blue, over some marks and dings around SN on grip. Exceptionally well done newer buttstock retains nearly all of its high quality rubbed oil finish, wood slightly above metal. Forend shows wear from normal carrying and use, checkering re-cut. Scope has some minor marks on ocular bell, which also has some slight dents. Optics are slightly yellowed, but still clear. Case leather is fine with many minor marks and scuffs, some a bit deeper. Straps and handle are good. Interior cloth shows some marks and compressions. Label is very fine. 4-46785 MGM208 (22,500-32,500)
