Hi Folks,
My brother just called me this morning telling me he found a rifle while exploring the back woods of Idaho. Said it was wedged between a large rock formation. Looks to me to be a 1906 but Im not really an expert on these and thought you guys would be able to shed some light on this find. It was loaded with a round chambered and a few bullets in the magazine. Said they had a Rem headstamp and looked to be a lead hollowpoint. Shockingly he said the action works fine, which would lead me to believe it wasnt out there that long but I dont know. Of course I told him not to shoot it until we get a good look at the inside but first, I wanted to get a little info from the Rimfire Central experts.
What do you guys think? Thank you.
