    Someone didn't like that rifle, and had a go at it with a sword or bayonet - an axe has a greater wedge effect, and would have removed chips between the cuts.

    The cuts are parallel and close, indicating that the rifle was immobile (i.e. not being held up in self-defence) when it was attacked.
