Slightly OT...help identifying rifle?
 

Any rifle experts out there...I need help identifying a bolt action rifle.

pls email me at

How is this only slightly off-topic? :)

I opened it thinking it was about Chuck Connors and you had a card of his you couldn't identify

I'll try to help. I tried to send you a PM, but it said that you exceeded your storage capacity. Do you have a pic? Also, are there any markings engraved into it?

Pawn Stars could be your best bet Ask for Rick. :)

now I really am glad
 

I appologized..............

i have pics...and there are markings on it...but I'm having issues uploading scans right now.

On the bolt is what looks like a #1...on the safety is a letter E.

There is the # 971183 below the scope...and there is a little picture of what looks like maybe a flame...and K.6 on the barrel towards the chamber.

I deleted my inbox...should be better now Dave.

this is the only pic I could get to upload right now!

2 more

finally!

Looking at the pic, it looks like a Remington Model 700

There's not a manufacturer's stamp on the left side of the barrel?

Pete, I'll get you the money I you!!! No need for intimidation.:)

I'm going to take the scope off tonight...which should reveal some info. Thanks so far for the help.

Don't worry guys...I don't need guns for intimidation...I have a dangerous cat!

What caliber?....that does look like a Remington 700 ADL....great guns...I use a Remington Model 700 ADL .270 for deer hunting....gets the job done...the proofs on the wall....:D

Guys...it is a US model of 1917 Eddystone...made sept 1918. I believe it was made by remington...atleast the bolt was...the barrel's marks don't seem to jive with what was originally there.

It also appears to be a 30/06.

I'm guessing some of the original parts were changed over the years for use.

Any more help would be appreciated!
