Swiss Vetterli 1896/71 - with bayonet £950 - Section 58(2) obsolete calibre.
This rifle has been modified to centre fire and comes with centre fire brass. Dies are easily available for .41 swiss.
The rifle has also been re-proofed as a centre fire rifle - the first one to be done so according to the proof house! Why reproof as it is obsolete? If you plan to shoot this rifle it has been modified from original construction, while the modification is straight forward your club or insurance company will not be happy with you shooting a modified rifle.
Nice clean good example. Great to collect and shoot. More pictures available.
Collection Hook Hampshire (M3 J5) or Bisley. I travel a bit so may be other locations.
Maybe shipping but prefer you view and pay cash when happy.
