Project Description
!!!!!SOLD!!!!! This is a 1/2 scale bolt action sporting rifle made by Musgrave in their facility in South Africa. The Musgrave bolt action rifle is very similar to the Winchester Model 70 bolt action rifle. Musgrave made these back in the 1980’s as a dealer promotional item. There 50 made for the U.S. market, and another 50 made for other markets. 22″ long overall with a 12 9/16″ barrel of .168 caliber. This example is marked US 0005 on the left of the front receiver ring, and MUSGRAVE on the top of the barrel. The action is not functional, there are no internal parts, and the bolt only withdraws partially from the receiver. Blue steel metal parts. One piece walnut stock nicely checkered at the wrist and forearm. Red, white, & black laminated recoil pad. Ebony gripcap. The stock with sling swivels fore and aft. The barrel has a ramp front sight and a sporting “V” notch rear sight. One piece triggerguard/floorplate. The safety does move, and shows a red dot when in the fire position. The barrel is not rifled, and is only drilled about one inch deep at the muzzle. The trigger is fixed and does not move. Although not a functional miniature, these are really good looking and were obviously made with skill & care for the finished product. I haven’t had one of these in a few years. Near mint condition. I’d call it 99%. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
