I love these things as displays but after sitting for a year I still have not done the conversions and there is other stuff I want that I'd actually use.

I don't know much about them but they are pretty nice examples of each; better than most I've seen.

The 78 does have a small crack on the left side by the cross pin. It's not loose or falling apart anything but I put a tiny amount of wood glue on the inside just to be safe. It's really very sturdy. It also has what looks like a small plug on the left side in the wrist area which was present when I bought it.

Included is a brand new set of Lee dies and 55 unfired cases from Buffalo Arms Company which they make by forming PPU 8mm Lebel and will be stamped as such. The shell holder that comes with the Lee dies is infamously the wrong size so there will be two in the box, one of which does fit the cases. Also included is two plastic firing pin carriers and 5 RCBS decapping pins used to convert these to centerfire. Both rifles are currently in their original, rimfire configuration and will require that conversion before you can load up the brass and do some shooting.

These are antiques which do not require an FFL. It is your responsibility to know your state's laws.

$800 shipped.
I can only take Zelle or a money order. Not interested in trades.
