Hi all,

I'm buying an old Ferlach 7x57 (apparently) but am confused about the barrel markings as nothing indicates it being a 7x57 and a lot of gunshops here just take the word of the seller and don't always check (nor have the ability to check chamber sizes!)..

irrespective, the rifle I'm buying is marked as follows, and I'm hoping anyone can shed light on their meanings please.

NPf - Nitro Proof Ferlac I'm quite certain
followed by: 10 21.45 D.295.45
on the other side: 5A?? 9.0g.

many thanks for any input
 
on a side note..the other side might faintly,,,very faintly say 7/57 9.0g ...if that's the case would it be 7/57 is 7x57 and 9g stipulates it was regulated and proofed at 139g bullet weights?

Hello there. I’ve been wanting to introduce myself personally & chat with you about hunting Nilgai. Give me a call sometime…

+1 Great to deal with. I purchased custom rifle. No issues.

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary

Booked with Harold Grinde - Gana River - they sure kill some good ones - who'd you get set up with?
