Well here is my order of 10 1895 Chileans from Century:

All were zipped tied to the stocks, some had some old ass tape wrapped around also. All were nasty dirty and dusty. None had hand guards.

5 C Serials - Antiques
4 K Serials - Antiques
1 L Serial - C+R

1 Bent Bolt
9 Straight Bolt
6 Trigger housings
3 set of screws
3 fronts sights
1 small ass cleaning rod
1 Missing rear sight

All bores cleaned up to VG or better
Blueing on average 705 or better

One had minor-moderate pitting, some had no pitting.

2 Brazilian 1908 stocks
7 CZ24 type Stocks with serial on the side looks to be 1935 Carbine Stocks
1 Stock I don't know where the hell it came from Looks to be a 1912 Steyr stock

Here are some pics:

Well there's some do it yourself project time for you to play with. So are you going to restore as many to function as you can or are you going to convert to sporting rifles by rebarreling and restocking?

The C serials are part of the 4000 gun order was that was supposed to go to South Africa, but never made it. I will probably pick the best 2 or 3 and restore them and part and sell the others out.
