Sounds like a .577 Snider-Enfield. 1860's vintage, single shot, cartridge rifle. A net search turns up 69,200 sites.

 

[John Sukey]

Bubba, a person who thinks he can "improve" a firearm by hacking bits off of it and drilling holes for scope mounts.
Best known for chopping barrels and forearms off Lee-Enfield and Ross rifles, but not limited to those makes.

Responsible for gnashing of teeth and frantic searching for replacement parts by people trying to undo his "improvements"

Often seen at gun shows trying to understand why his "sportyizing" a military rifle lowers its value.

I think this thread would get a lot more attention and replies in the Milsurp section.

A Bubba is someone who takes a milsurp and decides to as John stated "improve" it by hacking away and re-finishing.

I saw a hacked up Enfield No.I Mk.VI once... it made me want to throw up and cry blood.
