Title: Looking for info on my Swindlehurst
Post by: Rod Jack on April 21, 2025, 11:34:52 AM

I recently purchased this Swindlehurst, and I was looking for more info on it. It is a pretty recognizable rifle, so I am hoping someone will have some info on it. It is currently chambered in 30BR, but I am curious as to who may have originally built it, or any other relevant info on it. I was also curious based on the serial number, is it possibly action number 4? Thank you.

Rod, good chance 93 is year of mfg, and 004 is the fourth one he built that year, but I stand to be corrected. It was fairly common back then for smaller manufacturers to serialize in this fashion. I had one similar to yours at one time, very well made actions. I am sure you will like it.
