I bought a beat up old Springfield actioned rifle off the internet last week for NZ$300-00
Its got Churchill (Gunmakers) Ltd 7 Bury Street London on the barrel which is amongst the highest real estate in London on the barrel.
the number on the action is 1468744 which according to a web site equates to being manufactured in 1934. Thats all there is on the action.
The wood to metal fit is very good and although the exterior has lost nearly all of its blue the 308 barrel looks to me in pretty good nick.
The trigger is another story though with lots of creep.
I bought this with the intention of a re-barrel to 220 Swift.
This is the first Springfield I have handled and the action looks nicely made.
If anybody can throw any light on what I have I would welcome any comments.
Regards, Roly.
