I would tend to think its not a .700 NE as I dont think that action is up to the pressures of that ctg. I could be wrong. I am going to go out on a limb and suggest it is a shotgun. Well to be more perscice a one off slug gun. A 12 ga is .725 or so which is close. Any chance you can take a picture of the bolt face and measure it? Thanks Cape |

Looking at the trigger guard, springfield style cocking piece, mauser style safety,Lee style locking lug on the bolt, and the fact it has a Krag rear sight, I'd say it's US made.....1920's or 30's.......A one-off "project" or prototype Again....I'm tellin ya....it's a one-off built by a US gunsmith......not an anti-tank rifle......not a fortress gun....and guaranteed not in a British caliber....looks like post WW2 instead of interwar though if the 47 date is actually when it was built |
