Drilling?

lightning2923
Came apon a drilling today in really, really nice shape both mechanicaly and estecticly but i don't know what it is. It says on receiver just above the safety and the push button for the pop-up site "SCHKOT". It has IHRHARDT-LAUF stamped barrels in 16ga. I know they were or are barrel makers. I do not know what caliber the rifle is but it measures at the muzzel.356 and bore .425. I was unable to measure the bore length. What is this and in what i consider to be 90 to 95% is an average price. I find nothing on this. Any help?

    MOST drillings will have a TON of markings (including caliber/ gauge), and 3 sets of proof markings. Are there no markings on the water table?

    Well, the .356 (groove dimintion?) tells me it's most likely a 9mm something, but if that's the actual bore diameter, than you may have one of the 9.3mm somethings.
    What are you calling the bore? The diameter at the chamber end?
    To be correct, the bore is the diameter of the hole that was first drilled lengthwise through the barrel. Groove is the diameter across the grooves that were cut into the bore to make the rifling (bore is always smaller than groove).
    Most drillings take rimmed cartridges, so I don't know if your .425 dimention is the rim cut, or the base cut.

    HEY and Thanks! I am calling the bore dia. 425 the inside dia. at the breech. and the .356 inside dia. at the muzzle. I will have to go back and look at the gun and see if they will let me break it down to see the water table. Does any one know the maker?

    Most likely you have a 9.3x72r, Is it a underlever action or a top lever? Any scope or bases cut into the rib? You gonna shoot it, sell or display? Check here before shooting.

    HEY! This gun is a underlever. I am looking to buy it and use it if i can find out who SCHKOT is and find a price range on it. The owner has no idea and neither do i. IMO this gun is in excelant condition. Highly engraved and detailed gun in excelant condition. Current owner has had it for many years never shot it just displayed it. Takes all his guns out of a tempreture controled gun room and cleans them on a regular basis. No handling marks, bumps or bings. All bluing case color and polished metal shows absolutly no wear. I don't know if the gun is worth $500 or $10,000 and i have been unable to find anything on it until now. The doules are 16ga. with 2 9/16" chambers so i would use RST short chamber shells if i do use it. It is so nice i may not. And this blows me out of the water because i shoot everything i owne. What is the fun in owning something you are afraid to use? The action is very tight and lock up is chrisp. Any other help would be appreciated.
    Thanks Tommy

    For any help on identification and valuation we would need quality photos of the Drilling, specially of the proof markings which are usually on the water table and underside of barrels.

    It's very unusual to run across a drilling with out a manufacturers marking on top of the barrels. Rather then on the back of the receiver as you describe.


    Here are instructions for posting photos on the forum.

    You might check on some of the larger collector type gun dealers on the net, they usually have a few drillings in inventory. You will at least get a handle on asking prices if nothing else. As most high quality drillings were custom made, the most you will be able to ascertain will be a ballpark retail value.

    If your going to be buying it as a shooter I would have a chamber cast made of the rifle barrel. As some of the older drillings were chambered for obscure obsolete European metric cartridges that you would have a hack of a time even getting brass and bullets for.
