Some info about this gun

**TheBeast** · December 12th, 2005, 05:18 PM

I am trying to find out some info on this rifle I inherited from my grandfather. I know that it is foreign but that is about it. It doesn't have any markings other than a serial number. The same number is on every component part when you break it down and take it apart so I also know it is all original.
000 0473

Dad said it reminds him of a British 303 or a Chinese 7.65

I think the gun is german made. Maybe the predecessor to the mouzer

looks german made. My grandfather has a double barrel 16 gauge shot gun from WWII his brother sent him from germany. It favors that gun a lot. The way it's made, the slenderness,etc...

I am gonna post it on the guns and ammo forum this morning will let ya know what I find out. I looked up all the ones mentioned and none of them matched up to it. It uses a regular centerfire cartridge.

Not heard anything for sure yet one person said it is similar to a springfield trapdoor but it's not one, had another say they had never seen anything like it.
