Hunting rifles from the 1800's

Not to be a smart ass, but that is not possible as the 30-30 (30 WCF) was not introduced until 1895 with the 1894 Winchester rifle.

Ouch lol

That's not being a smart-ass, Douglas. That's being correct.

You want to put money on it. It's a 1889 Swiss rifle in 30-30 originally a 7.5 at one time. Not everything is as it seems.

I confess she is not 100+ years old, but fully "old school". .58 cal muzzle stuffer. Penetrates like a freight train...

I stand somewhat corrected on the "that is not possible" part. A rebarrel or rechamber can obviously put a cartridge in a firearm made before the cartridge was introduced. Could do the same with a 1885 highwall...........
