Title: ? SMR? rifle acquired from east tennessee
Post by: cable on July 04, 2025, 11:51:12 PM

i know nothing more about this, having gotten it from an online auction in east TN, and they said it was a local rifle.  Bill Paton has seen it.  it is a very plain delicate little rifle, with 42" swamped barrel of approximately 29-30 caliber.
