    1899 - 1903. One example that comes to mind. Close enough
    With governments things that the man in the street will not even consider often happen.

    Wow,
    I've read some of this information on the other forum posts but didn't know why. This is some neat history of the rifles and their origins.

    I'll look up the pedigree and original issue state of the rifles now before continuing restoration. This should be an interesting undertaking.

    It has both the front volley post and mag cutoff missing. it will be interesting to find out all of the history on these rifles.

    Thank you all for the info!
