Just create a PhotoBucket account, download the pic to photobucket, copy the URL and then post the URL here.

alright, I'll describe it untile i get the pics. Made in 1929; not in shooting condition (splits the case when fired). Has receiver and hammer that resembles a mosin nagant. Very long, about 3.5 - 4 ft. Military issued to my great grandfather.

If it was issued to your Gramps in 29, I'm going to guess 1903 Springfield. Pics would be nice.

I'd vote Enfield. They were quite long and in 1929 would have issued. The splitting cases is interesting. I've never heard of one splitting cases and still being able to operate. There were some Enfields made in .303 British, maybe you're using the wrong cartridge.

Default RE: What gun is this?

I'd like to know what caliber it is... my father told me it was probably 7.62, so I'm guessing a 7.62x54. It has a straight bolt, and the receiver looks exactly like that of a mosin nagant. It has a stock that goes about halfway down the barrel, and the stock has no pistol grip with a metal plate on the back. On the top of the barrel, (right in front of the action), it has a star with an arrow pointing up inside of the star. Below it, it says "No.", and below that, it says "102940." To the top left of of the star, there is small circle with the symbol "II" in it. The magazine is connected to the trigger guard. The magazine isn't "detachable," but it swings open like a lever so you can quickly unload the rifle. I'm guessing you reload from the top like a WWII springfeild... or maybe you load it from the bottom... I dont know.

Still tryin these pictures on! Anything that runs on electricity hates me and doesnt want to work!!!
