Nicely marbled stump figured European walnut full steel capped pistol grip buttstock measures 14-1/4″ over solid black pad, and features point pattern checkering with mullered borders, flanked by relief carved edelweiss at top of grip, with acanthus toward cap, all with stippled background; chinstrap transition from grip to butt; sling eye on toe line and shadow line right hand cheekpiece. Long matching splinter ejector forend has Deeley release. Matching 12 ga. shotgun bbls with their own forend have 3″ chambers, with all the same markings as rifle bbls, except for shotgun proofs.

Tan leather case with nickel-plated corners and locks, is lined with reddish felt, and contains two pairs of Winchester marked snap caps for rifle and shotgun. CONDITION: Excellent, as refurbished. Bbls retain nearly all of a fine quality satin re-black. Action retains nearly all of what appears to be its orig coin finish. Top lever and trigger guard retain nearly all of their re-black. Stocks retain most of a high gloss piano finish, with a few minor marks and crazing. Checkering is slightly worn. Bores are excellent, strong, bright and shiny throughout. Action is tight. Bbls are on face. Ejectors are in time, with both sets of bbls. Set trigger works. Relatively new scope has some marks in lacquer. Optics superb. Case leather is excellent with a number of minor scuffs. Lid beginning to detach. Interior lining is fine, with some compressions and tears. An interesting useful combo by this highly regarded Tyrolean maker. 4-46349 MGM45 (12,500-17,500)
