Not sure what it was?????
« on: September 06, 2008, 02:04:26 PM »
I seen a bolt action rifle in an antique shop today in a locked case.  It had a plum shaped bolt(handle) and a side sling loop on the stock.  The bore appeared to be 6,5mm and its a carbine.  The rear site appeared to be a blade sight same as the front but i didn't get a close look at it.  It wasn't a normal looking mauser type gun like a swede or a chilean. There was a bayo mount that looked like an upside down "T" lug on the bottom of the front ring.  The guy had it marked $275.  I didn't ask any questions because i left my C&R ffl copies at home.  I always keep copies with me but my wife washed my wallet a few weeks ago.  Of course i find interesting looking stuff now right?  I'm just not sure what it is.  How many different rifles are there in 6mm or 6,5mm?

plum shaped bolt handle sounds like a Jap of one model or another
