FN Commercial Action Barreled in 263 Sabre

Description:
FN Commercial action fitted with a Douglas barrel and chambered in 263 Sabre. Timney fully adjustable trigger, Buehler low swing safety, Redfield one piece base and rings. VG condition overall including bore. 
The barrel hub has the following stamps:

.263 Sabre

2-61   date of barrel installation
H. Chambers  probably the gunsmith who fit and chambered the barrel
DGLS  PR CM 10   probably Douglas premium chrome molly barrel with 1-10 twist. ( I have confirmed it is 1-10 twist )

The 263 Sabre cartridge is the development of Jerry Shannon of Spanaway, WA and is basically the 6.5 - 06 with the shoulder sharpened to 35 degrees. It is listed in Acklays Handbook and loading data is available there. Also included are 50 fire formed cases and RCBS dies.

From personal experience with my 6.5 Stegall which is very similar, these are great hunting cartridges, flat shooting and accurate.

Please check my other listings for more parts and rifles.

Thanks for looking!
