This one on a standard length slant box action, chambered in .303 British and with the Fraser patent trigger. It needs a little TLC but will remain largely original when finished. The stock needs to be rubbed out, a new Silvers pad fit and it may get some slight damage to the rear sight and it's base repaired. A really interesting rifle and the bore remains very good.

Wow that is nice and you must be pleased. If you can, can you share a picture of the left side of the receiver.
In addition when you get the metal out of the wood I would love to see the bare action metal and slant box details.
Congrats!!

What a rifle.

Steve - what is the caliber?

.303 British

Very nice rifle Steve! With your talent, I hope you'll post photos after applying your time and talent to that stock. The blueing looks like it's very good too.

Nice, nice rifle!

You don't often see that Alexander Henry foend treatment on a bolt gun. I like it.

I have been working on taking photos with my new camera and thought I would update this thread. Damage to rear sight and its base cleaned up, Fore end hanger re-attached, rust blue blended with existing finish. New recoil pad, a clean and oil which was desperately needed, a few small stock repairs and the original linseed oil finish was found under the oxidized black oil on top. Not a restoration, just a well deserved deep cleaning.

Wonder what the 2 on the barrel means, maybe there
was another barrel set?

Possible but my thought was a matched pair of rifles.
