Suggestion: Shoot the gun, may surprise you once you have given
it a good cleaning and shot it.
Second, if no good on shooting, have it rebored to 6mm and you most likely will have a 6mm Zipper.

Find out what it is, first, then try it. If it shoots, keep it like it is; if it doesn't, then decide what to do.

If you have it rebored, I'd probably go to something like .32-40 or .38-55 if the chamber cleans up with either.

There were a few bargains on that Auction. The Labantchni 375 was a steal in my opinion. https://www.proxibid.com/Firearms-Milita...nOnCatalog=4091Also curious if anyone here got the Sedgley mauser .22 Hornet. lot #1047. John

I doubt you could duplicate the engraving on that Labantchni for the price the rifle sold. Buying used custom guns sure gets you a lot more for the money than having one done.

Yup, that's a great "big" gun.

This is the one I had my eye on. If it had gone at the estimated price, it would have been a steal. https://www.proxibid.com/Firearms-Milita...mation/44246963The Griffin & Howe side mount was probably the kiss of death for that nice rifle. It's amazing to me how many buyers shy away from a rifle fitted with it because of the additional holes drilled in the side of the action. If you never remove it, there are no additional holes is the way I look at it. No other type of mount leaves the top of the receiver so clear of obstruction for the use of iron sights when the scope is removed. I probably have a dozen of them on my rifles and have recently sold others.

I don't see the Griffin and Howe side mount as the "kiss of death". I like mine a lot and am looking for more. I just wish the dovetails were a little more interchangeable.

I wonder why they thought that hornet was a Sedgley, it did not resemble any Sedgley I have ever seen.
I learn something every day, and a lot of times it's that what I learned the day before was wrong
