My boss at the gun store just bought a bunch of guns from an estate. In the collection was this strange looking inline. I am not sure exactly what it is other than a weird looking inline. A (daft) customer said it was a military sniper. I tend not to beleive him but if it is military someone here should know. If anyone knows what this is, please tell.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Forgot the pics

Ya got me - i've never seen one. Is it .22?

**JosephDerMauserSchiesser** · 03-24-2007 01:17 PM

No, it is a .45 black powder. It appears to be an inline.

**JosephDerMauserSchiesser** · 03-24-2007 01:18 PM

When I go back to the store I will have to get more pictures. The trigger guard comes out almost like a lever action to expose the chamber.

**Claven2** · 03-24-2007 02:19 PM

Odd. It's an old looking inline then.
