Pre 64 .30 Gibbs

[WWP2012]

I figured I would throw this up here before it goes on the auction block. I am selling this for a friend and will try and answer what questions you have.

Most all we know is it was his Grandfathers and it was modified by Mr Gibbs at his shop. Gun will come with the original dies. Which we think came back with the gun from Gibbs. Gun is in good shape for its age. The stock was replaced with a used high grade featherweight stock. I will get a group up on to show how it shoots. He is asking 900 obo.

I took it to the range and it has a very smooth bolt. It feels nice and tight as you close the bolt. The trigger is very crisp at around a 4-5lbs. That old scope is actually quite good for being 60+ years old. The rounds that he had a friend load a few years ago were not great and after I had one split after firing I quit. So the group could get a lot better if someone did load development with new brass. Available here:https://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/category/categoryId/740

Here is where I quit sighting it in. This was at 100yards and that is a 1.25" dot.

I noticed on two of the rounds the outside neck bulging and then the center one was split. I pulled all the bullets and scrapped the old brass.

New brass with a competent reloader and this gun would be a shooter.
