I've got a few guns that are surplus or I never shoot. I'm open to offers! Sako has been sold.

1. 1903 Smith Corona 6mm-06 imp 30°. 27" Hart barrel, Dayton trigger, fajen stock. I can measure twist, but I think its a 10 twist. Shot 80-90gr bullets mainly. 50 pcs brass. Always used 243 dies to neck size only. Brass easily formed from 25-06 brass. Guessing it has about 1" of some throat wear via the borescope, but looks good beyond that. Action is smooth cycling! I have some load data for this round as well.
As an option, I can offer to set this back and chamber it in a different cartridge. I would need to look through my box, but I have several 6mm chamberings available.
$850 $775 $725 obo shipped.

2. 91/30 mosin action. 7.62x54r. UK-59 machine gun barrel, chrome lined. Barrel is painted. Bronze ring is there because these barrels had a small spot where the diameter of the barrel was smaller, but still enough barrel steel to shoulder. I shot this gun in a local F-class practice match years ago and ended up in the middle of the pack 3-600 yards. Stock is maple and bondo if I recall. I have 50 pics of 2x fired norma brass that goes with it and some standard lee dies if you want too. It's actually a fun gun to shoot. Can't recall 100 yard groups, but it shoots pretty well. I wanna say 1/2" if not a little better. Shoots better than it looks. factory trigger.
$650 $575 $525 obo shipped.

would also trade for small caliber bolt rifles, or SA/LA recievers w/700 footprint. Feel free to ask questions. More photos on request.

5 shot group from the mosin. Group size minus bullet diameter, so center to center. Never tuned beyond this and this was just using a known 308 load.

Any offers? I'm open to selling the mosin w/o the stock too. I can set the 03 back and make it into a 6br, 6x47, or 243. Would be a great rockchuck/prairedog rig.

I also have a really nice old figured walnut hunting stock that never was finished I could make a package deal with the 03. A #3 barrel or larger will work with that stock. Also have a #3 Hart 6.5mm 1-8 twist that would make a killer 6.5x55 or 6.5-06. The above combo would make a really nice sporting rifle. Ide consider pulling the stock and barrel and making a package deal with the new parts. Could also put it together for you!
