I don't really know anything about them so what's the deal with these rifles. Collector items or donors for projects. thanks, Scott

Wish I had seen the add earlier, there were some nice sporting rifle conversions cheap.

It is a No 5 or no 7 that was rebarreled to 38 special. Someone military tapered the barrel and hot blued it. I worked up to 357 mag double loads with magnum small rifle primers. When the primer pieces, the gas tries to open the action and jams it for a few seconds.
