The following are NOT CURRENTLY OFFERED ~ SHOWN FOR VIEWING PLEASURE ONLY ~
 Rogers Rock & Co 8 Bore double barreled big game rifle Thomas Jackson, London 10 Bore Pin Fire double barreled rifle

 Army & Navy -.470 NE

 Army & Navy C.S.L. .470 NE proofed 75 grains Cordite and 500 grain bullet. Top lever, rebounding back action, hammer rifle. 28 inch barrels, rifling is sharp, bores are lightly frosted, 11.2 lbs. New firing pins and replacement bushings just fitted. Two folding leaf express sight, full rib. This rifle was manufactured by Osborne for the Army & Navy CSL at a cost of 22.0.0 GBP. On the 3rd Feb 1910 they sold her to Lt Col H.C. Bernard. In 1916 whilst serving with the 36th (Ulster) Division, Col Bernard (disobeying orders) led his men in an attack on German positions and was killed. The Army and Navy Co-operative Society Ltd was formed in 1871 by a group of army and navy officers. It was their intention to supply “articles of domestic consumption and general use to its members at the lowest numerative rates”. The first store opened on 15 Feb 1872 at Victoria Street, London. At the end of 1873 a gun department was established. By the end of the century the Society was issuing an enormous annual illustrated price list, had introduced telephone ordering and mail order. Mauser 9.3 x 64
 Not a double rifle, but this old girl came back from Africa, I often wonder what tales she could tell. Due to the interest, I have added some more pictures of the “old Mauser” She has a 26 inch barrel a dry weight of 7.2 lbs and balances and handles superbly. She came to Canada in a pallet load of surplus military firearms. She is not for sale, I sold her once and was very fortunate to reclaim her. If I wasn’t a “lefty” I would have to take her back to Africa to give her one last hunt.




 A pair of African classic bolt actions. The Mauser 9.3 with a 1903 Steyr Mannlicher 6.5 carbine. The Mannlicher has an 18 inch barrel and a dry weight of 6.6 lbs.
 More pictures on my C B Vaughan double rifle. She is a plain "working grade" box lock, non ejector in .470 NE. I was having problems finding a good rifle that was in my price range when my wife found this one on the Internet for me. That has to be a good omen. The rifle has 26 inch barrels, she is a shade heavy at nearly 12 lbs but that makes her a delight to shoot. I have fired over 400 rds through her in the last two years and have absolute confidence in her. Here she is, doing what she was built for, hunting Ellie in Africa.
 I have put most of these scars here, there is a tale behind all of them. This rifle works hard in Africa, pushing through thorns and scrabbling over rocks is tough on her.
 The express sights, I have to admitt that they look "cool" but in reality they have no place on a rifle used for dangerous game hunting. There is always the chance that they will get knocked up when you do not want them up. I really should lock-tite them down or put a pieace of black tape over them.
 The business end. I shoot reloads, 500 grain Woodleigh SP or solids in Jamison brass, I use IMR 4831 with a foam filler wad and they "chrony" at just under 2,100 fps.
