Description:
Here is a handsome William Evans sporter in .256 Mannlicher, built on a 1903 Mannlicher-Schoenauer action circa 1920s.  The barrel is 27 ½” with a very good bore.  There is a ramped front sight with a flip-up ivory moon bead.  The rear express sight has leaves marked 100, 200 and 300 yards.  The barrel is engraved: WILLIAM EVANS. 63 PALL MALL. ST. JAMES’S.  LONDON.  There is a side-mounted base for a scope mount of Griffin & Howe type.  (Maker unknown.)  There is a single trigger.  The action is extremely smooth, as with all vintage Mannlicher-actioned rifles.  The fore-end has an ebony tip.  The lightly figured English walnut stock has a variety of scratches from having been carried in the field.  There is a well-repaired crack at the wrist.  It is barely detectable (see photo # 15.)  The length of pull is 14 ¾” over a smooth steel butt-plate.  The weight is 7 lbs 9 oz.  A wonderful, classic British sporter.
