Gun Quiz & Tease

What is this? I do not mean '95 Winchester; I will take it my readers know that-- but what caliber? Hint: more were made in it than all the others combined. Where are they now?

I know its owner knows, so I will ask him not to give it away. No fair WIKI- ing the answer either!

Right of course. Give me a week or so to explain THIS one to the uninitiated ((-:)

It appears to be a military musket version,. I will guess the caliber is 30-06, 30-40 Krag or 303 Brit.

The post-military stories about those rifles are... interesting.

And I don't mean the ones manufactured for civilian markets.
