Title: Re: Other 30-40 rifles

Well, as is usually the case... there is a plethora of people on this site with a wealth of incredible knowledge!

I only meant that I thought the magazine looked similar in shape to the 1895 Winchester.  I didn't have much time to get a good look, just a quick snap of my camera.  And they didn't provide much info either, especially about ammo (something they didn't mention for any of the rifles except the mini-ball for the Springfield percussion of the Civil War).  I just assumed it was 30-40.  I had no idea about the dangers involved with this weapon.

Interestingly enough, they had tons of Garands and 1903's on display, but only one Krag (an 1896, with an 1899 rear sight) and one Trapdoor (an 1886), and no carbine examples of either!
