C&R porn for Old farts.

[Frogman]

Does this qualify as C&R? It's a '94 Winchester made in 1910, and chambered in .38-55. Was my grandpa's hunting rifle when he was growing up that his dad gave him and then he gave it to my dad for his 18th birthday and my dad gave it to me when I turned 18. Apparently it's a pretty rare piece with the half octagon barrel and the "button" magazine tube and the .38-55 chambering. I was told by an appraiser that it must have been a special order gun because Winchester never made a factory gun in that particular configuration.

I have been trying to figure out what this is, I have a thread on it over on gunboards but everyone is stumped so far.

Thanks! Just got the bayonet and bipod for it. Would love to find a 3x20 scope, at a reasonable price.

@Frogman after reading a bit of on these cans, M1 wasn't the gun designation. M1 was the model for the can. So it wasn't CAL .30M1 (carbine), it was CAL .30 and it was an M1 designation for the ammo box. I need an old cloth ammo belt and some 7.62 for a 1919.

30-06?

30-06?

Yeah, I would think so. 7.62x51 didn't really become the main caliber for the 1919 til later. Correct?

Picked this up at the gunshow on Sunday 4-22-2018.
Got it for 400.00 OTD and they say there is not any deals at gunshows.
Spreewerke P38 CYQ march 1944 all parts matching and no import marks anywhere.

Could it be part of a device from WW1 that allowed a shooter to shoot above the trench?
