Indians For Guns

Dear Friends

I have this rifle for more than 50 years. I have about 23 soft nosed / split nosed, 347 grain Kynoch Bullets and also bullets of Chekoslovakian make.Bullets for this Rifle are no longer manufactured, and Hunting is also banned.

I request friends on this forum to advise me as to what is the best way to sell this weapon. Please be good enough to respond.

You need to post it along with the price you expect. Also, if you can post a few photos of the rifle, that will aid the buyers to decide.

BTW, What make is you rifle?

Mr.Roy,

Realistically you may find someone to buy it. May be difficult, given ammo availability.

Thanks Vikram

I observe that you are USA, right? I have this 10.75 mm (0.423) Calibre Rifle for the past 50 yrs. I inherited from my dad.
I think he aquired it in the Nineteen thirtees. He did lot of Big game Hunting in Central India. After I became 19 yrs.old I was allowed to use this weapon. I have shot Tigers, Panthers, Bear, even a Indian Bison (Gaur). The weapon is very light and I have never missed a single shot. I have been advised to sell it on IFG. How do I go about it? I have a photo of the rifle but how to upload? The Rifle is manufactured by Machinenfabrik Mauser, Germany.

Aditya

You might get more money for the ammo than the rifle, such is the state of this rifle.

You can put post in Sell section, like advised by Vikram.

Dear Aditya,

Have you finally sold your rifle? How much did it go for? Have you bought some other weapon in its place? Which one did you buy and for how much? Are you happy with your new purchase? All the best.

Regards.
