Old Win Highwall 32-40 Schuetzen Rifle Question
Yesterday at 10:03pm
Print Post  
I am looking at a nice auction rifle that has a Pope marked Winchester barrel with the muzzle drilled for a false muzzle. My question - Was there a standard for the chamber and throating on a rifle that was set up to load from the muzzle? Is it likely this rifle can be shot with fixed ammo or breech seated? The false muzzle device  is not offered so likely got separated from the rifle at some point.

In my less than perfect experience, the only way to tell for sure is to make a chambercast.
