The heading says."and other fine firearms, and I think this one qualifies, so here goes.
In the midst of one of those "14-way trades with a shotgun to be named later", I wound up with a M-S 1908 in 8X56MS, complete with a period correct Redfield in a Paul Jaeger QD mount. It's almost art, with the clean lines and craftsmanship of a hundred years ago. The amazeing thing is the condition, which I'd describe as As-New-ish. Ther are a couple of handling marks or bruises on the wood, the metal is an honest 99+%, and the cleaning kit is still in the butt trap. There are some photos of it posted at
http://forums.accuratereloading.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2711043/m/540106258 which should help my claim of As-New-ish
All that said, it's not my kinda thing and I'm looking for the appopriate forum to market it, so I can further madvance my shotgun vice. Any suggestions?
Thanks for yor help.
EDIT
It's good to have knowledgeable friends on the web.
Based on your considerable input, the description of this MS is significantly changed as follows:
It's a modified/customized MS of 1908. It probably has been reblued, and modified to accept a Paul jager QD side mount. The condition is still "As-New-ish", but it's not an unmolested MS. Value uncertain, it's still a damned nifty rifle.
