Not sure if I should post this in Milsurp or here, so I'm posting it in both.
I bought a "Snider .577" off a hillbilly today that turns out to be a bolt-action Mauser with a tube magazine, stamped 1886 or 1887 (I forget which).
Anybody know how I tell what round this rifle is chambered for, and if it is Turkish or German? It's stamped "Danzig" and has lots of crowns, etc., stamped on the stock.
Anyone have the remotest clue where I can find ammo for this relic, or else if I can rechamber?
I'll try to post some pix soon.
