That's very much a possibility. I'm trying to get more information from relatives. My uncle said he thinks he might a have some ammo for it at his house. He's going to look. If any work was done it was before he was old enough to remember. I took more pictures of the rifle to upload. Not sure what model it is either. Serial number is 178077 and has a circled H stamped on the lever boss. She's gonna need a good restore. She was definitely a hunting rifle and not a family show piece. Lol
