Pics to come soon (didn't have camera when I saw it). Sorry!
Looks like a bolt action, but the bolt doesn't look like it rotates. Has a ghost ring type peep rear sight and front sight blade. Has 2 triggers with a set screw or something between them. Wood stock runs the full length of the barrel and balloons out under the muzzle. Hexagonal receiver. Has a stripper clip type magazine-looking thing that inserts into the bottom. Slotted rectangular hole in the bottom of the receiver appears to accept this stripper clip or magazine, but the front to back length of the opening is smaller than the length of the .30-40 cartridge.
NOT a Springfield or any of the Winchester high walls I've seen. I have no idea what this is. Outside chance it may be Belgian.
Anyone know much about .30-40 rifles? Or know where to find pics of them so I can ID it?
