I did mention some where back in the thread that the crest was still in tact.
At any rate, is it possible they could have re barreled a carbine with a long barrel?
I found some where the carbines had the turned down bolt.skd

I partly agree with you. To me any military gun that can still be restored to the original military looks no matter if using a replacement stock, different caliber barrel or else and still be able to fire while looking as issued it's a collectible gun. Unfortunately the real values and standards are set by those die-hard "extremists" who see a gun that's not a 100% factory original or at least "correct" as a "mere shooter", unworthy of their attention and...

ADCC said
"I think collector's value was gone when almost all of the long rifles were de-crested by Argentinians before selling them as surplus."

I don't entirely agree with that statement, as it is something the original military arsenals did before they left their control, thus it is a real part of the firearms history. It is not something that Bubba did after he got it from some importer. I won't argue that the one's with their crest still intact...

I think collector's value was gone when almost all of the long rifles were de-crested by Argentinians before selling them as surplus. Drilling the action for a scope and turning down the bolt was just throwing a jar of water into a flood. For the price it sounds good; I'd get it as a fun "restoration" proyect, patching the holes by fitting them with a proper set of screws and then filing them down; also I'd either repair the bolt or get a correct bolt body replacement if...

Sad that it's been D&T, but with a good bore it will be a very good shooter. If nothing else you can go ahead and use the holes for a scope mount, without feeling bad because you didn't ruin the rifle's collector value yourself, so that the rifle can be better used for load developement and testing. On the long rifle, the crest being intact is uncommon in any condition, even altered! For $150 I wouldn't even think twice, it would be mine pronto!!!

I admit to...

Am I getting mixed message's here?
Did some one say the 1891 Argentine with the crest intact is hard to find.
Or is it just the ones that haven't been altered.
Either way this is the first one I've found.
I have noticed a few K-models and 1909's.
But this is the first one of these I have seen.
I frequent about 10 "ten" gun shops each month, if they are out there I haven't seen them.
I already put it on lay-a-way and if it is not...

I would pass it and look for an untouched one. It might cost you 50 bucks more, but will grow in value much better than the sporterised one. And, there's still plenty of them around.

This one is drilled on top. I didn't think of checking the front holes. Hope they are not drilled through.
They are in line. The rifle is in very good condition otherwise.Stock in complete.skd

Drilled and tapped where? Some of these were apparently drilled and tapped on the side of the receiver for a scope mount that came over the top of the receiver. Also, I think most of these bolts wee turned down direct from the factory?

Sad Day,
When I pointed out to him that it had been drilled and tapped, and the bolt had been turned down. He came down to $150.
Every thing else is ok, stock is complete.
I put it on lay-a-way any why. Well, I wanted it.
Good enough reason for me.skd
