Kilgore, Tx 75662.

$200 cash firm. No shipping or delivery.

Italian 1870/87/15 Vetterli chambered in 6.5x52. Made in 1877 and rebuilt during WW1 as a second line or training rifle. Strong bore and seems functional. I have no ammo or clips to function test. Missing buttplate and cleaning rod. Considering this rifle is almost 150 years old, it is assumed NOT SAFE for modern high pressure ammo. Light hand loads only or just have a cool wall hanger with some historical significance.

Only trades in the $200 range I’m interested in is a Maverick 88 or beat up Mossberg 500 in 12 gauge.
