M1870/87 Vetterli Vitale

**larryhoosier** · 08-06-2013 11:49 AM

Here are pics of my recently acquired Italian icon

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:

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

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?
