M1870/87 Vetterli Vitale

[larryhoosier]

Here are pics of my recently acquired Italian vetterli. *This one is like a new rifle. *Pristine bore and 90+ percent bluing remains on the parts which are blued. *Also pictured are my version of the 10.4x47r chargers which I fabricated from pics of originals found somewhere in the vast webisphere.



I bought the rifle because I received the bayonet mismatched to another M1870 single shot rifle which I purchased at auction.*

A few more looks:

Beautiful rifle!

Very good indeed!

Do you know of a source of the chargers? Any I have seen are in a poor condition - yours look like new.

Perhaps Larry can provide you with the dimensions?

Oops!

Next time I will not just look at the pictures.
