    Nice one. All sorts of lovely bits of kit on this thread but also you come across rifles you never knew about. Didn’t realise that Sako produced a lever action. Interesting, thanks.

    Got this on this forum from a good bugga.
    Yet to shoot it- getting the ammo side of things sorted now.

    It's a Carl Gustav 1867 model Remington Rolling block in 12.7x44 - basically a 50 cal version of 45-70.
    Shoots 400 +grainers with Black Powder.
    Dummy round sitting next to a 243.

    Thanks to @Akaroa for advice and info about Black Powder shooting.
