  • Description:

    F933 is a rifle built by Steyr for Portugal.  Caliber 8 X 60 R, Model 1886, 32.25" barrel and 52" overall. These rifles were issued to Colonial troops mostly in Africa.  The place of issue is often reflected in the surviving examples. This piece is mechanically sound with strong remnants of the original finish.  The bore is sound with strong rifling and corrosion. This example is above average with sound wood.  The bolt and wood do not match which is the standard for the Kropatschek that remained in service well into the 1980's.
