    Here's an interesting one...an 1889 Swiss straight-pull in 7.5mm that's been "sporterized", probably back in the '50's during the military import craze. Bore is perfect. Stock and metal work in very nice shape. This one is considered an antique by the BATFE. The round is the same as the later 7.5mm Swiss, but loaded to lower pressures with black powder. This would be a reloader/tinkerer's dream. Uses .308 diameter bullets and cases from a 7.5mm Swiss K31. Load lightly with fast-burning powder and you'll be fine. For the price you can't beat it. $150.00 FTF, central TX.

    I have more being posted, including 12 ga and .30-06 M2 ball, ammo cans and top-break S&W revolvers. Last of the collection I'm cleaning out. Stay tuned.
