Despite being only chambered for .22lr this rifle
is quite a heavyweight and could well be at a glance
taken for being something more like a .270 - until
the small (10 round) magazine is spotted! The chamber
diameter has to be about 1".
It appears to date back to 1920's and is incredibly
accurate. It took one summer 134 rabbits on a farm
suffering an infestation! Supposedly it was discovered,
in excellent condition these rifles are worth quite
a lot. This one has some bluing blemishes and is
not perfect but still - a very handsome gun and
a keeper too. |
