We just received a small quantity of original Italian Vetterli Model 1870/87/15 rifles. All rifles are converted for the Carcano 6.5 ammunition. These rifles include the rear sight base. These rifles may or may not come with a front sight blade.
The condition is poor to fair overall condition. These rifles have been in storage in Ethiopia for a century. They will have some surface corrosion, surface rust, wear on the metal and dings, dents, scratches, etc. in the wood. These rifles may have cracks in the stock and pitting. Stocks may be completely cracked through near the receiver and/or wrist. May have large chunks of wood missing. May be missing some parts such as a front sight, sling swivel, barrel band, buttplate, etc. The rifles may or may not come with a cleaning rod. Bores range from poor to good. The rifle bolt may be difficult to open and require further cleaning to be 100% functional. Please note that the sear spring may be broken and the bolt may not stay cocked.

Got a great rifle for a C grade. All parts were present minus cleaning rod. The rifle even works flawlessly with bolt and trigger functioning. Rifle was very dirty as expected and the stock had a couple sizable cracks, but that was completely fair for the price tag. I was planning on just using this thing for parts, so I’m glad to just be cleaning this one up.
