All,

Saw this on another site where the owner had inherited it from his brother. Any ideas of mfg? I was thinking some custom work but the engraving looks a little crude so thought perhaps a M94 import from someplace. Ideas?

Gun appears to be a post 64 with a hot blued barrel n receiver. The bright reddish receiver is a result of immersion in a hot blue tank . I have had that happen many times. Is the left side of the barrel marked US repeating Arms? Some of the screw heads like the loading gate srew are buggered. I would suggest you have a chamber cast done to find out what .30 African is. Good luck wiyh it! Mel

Thanks Mel - I'll pass that info back to the owner. It sure makes sense.

30 African with a rattlesnake engraved on it ! That is one abused receiver.
