I have this rifle I inhereted and want to ID it as to make and caliber.I think it is possibily Swiss Military but not sure.Looks to be very shootable still,if ammo is available would like to try.I'll try to put in some pics and possibly links to more.
Gun has what looks to be military serial number stamped on stock and barrel(0 9752).Also has emblem stamped on stock,oval shape,inside edges have(RIPARZE on left,TORINO on bottom and left I can't make out.In center of oval looks like (U) with possible a crown on top ,looks almost like acorn.Gun is 53 1-2" long with 34" barrel.Bore measures approx. 7/16" dia. at end of barrel.
Bottom of stock at fore end has groove in itr that maybe held a cleaning rod.Has mount for dagger on barrel.Not fancy but some type of checkering lines at grip.
Thank you for any help.
