Hi Everyone,
I am based in Patna and I must say this site has been very helpful to me in gaining knowledge.
I have a V C Schilling 1916 .311 bore rifle which belonged to my great grandfather. It takes 7.9 Mauser bullets of which I have a few.
What would be the market value of this gun? The owner of Capital Guns says he can get bullets for this gun. I got Amit's mobile number from this site so thanks again for posting it.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings

Re: Greetings
Welcome to IFG.
What does the markings on the rifle say about the calibre? It usually should be in metric as yours looks like a German/Austrian rifle. .711 measures to 7.92 which indicates that it is a 8X57. Could you please post a few photos of it?

Thanks Vikram. Will post a few pictures. The gun has been used very sparingly.

Re: Greetings
welcome friend.the gun has to be sparingly used as you can't find catridges.this is an unusual calibre and catridges are difficult find.you should be happy if you find a buyer.

Re: Greetings
It seems this caliber is easily available in Europe. Maybe I should export it!
Can adapters be used to change the caliber ?

One gun dealer just told me that bullets for this rifle are available. In fact he says he will sell me around 10 bullets in a few days. He said they are being imported and the process takes a little time.

Re: Greetings
That is a nice rifle there,Peacefulguns. Is it possible for you to post a few more photographs, a few more close-up shots of the action, sights, markings, if any, etc? Thank you.

Hi Folks,
Amit of Capital Guns is quoting Rs475 for 226grain bullets for my rifle. I have a feeling that it's too excessive. Can some one advise please?
