That's a pretty interesting rifle to forget! The only "found" rifle I've had was a U.S. M1917 rifle. But I'm reasonably sure it's long since traded off. Wasn't anything that I didn't have better, so...

I've always wanted one of those carbines. I have the rifle version w/o the top handguard. I haven't seen any ball ammo for sale in a long time. I only see the blanks for sale and I have a case of those. At one point I was going to pull the wooden bullet and black powder charge and load them up. I think buffalo arms carries formed brass for the rifle.
