serial #970, 33-40, 30'' part round part octagon barrel with a bright excellent bore. Built on a 44 1/2 No. 45 action, the barrel of this rifle retains about 95% original blue showing a little scattered mild oxidation speckling and light handling marks. The barrel is numbered ''530'' and it shows additional markings on the underside beneath the forend ''BRESIEN .3381 GROOVE 4.2.90''. The action retains perhaps 80% slightly fading cyanide case-hardened colors with some thin scratches or lightly cleaned areas along the sides. The right side of the breechblock shows a vacant hole for a small retainer screw. The rifle is equipped with replacement stocks featuring a smooth deluxe walnut schnabel forend complete with palm rest, smooth walnut lever inserts and checkered buttstock with slight ''fish belly'', left-side cheekpiece and schuetzen buttplate. The buttstock shows some added finish, a small shallow chip behind the lower tang and scattered light dings otherwise rating very good plus. There are no provisions for a front sight and the barrel is fitted with a pair of target blocks while the tang is fitted with a Lyman No. 52 sight. The double set triggers seem to function well mechanically. A nice Shuttleworth chambered in a vintage Pope wildcat cartridge. (13B11164-30) {C&R} [Scott Ashley Collection] (2000/3000)
