From my father:  From Top to Bottom- British .303 Enfield (sporterized) ? Mystery bolt action .22lr ? Something that looks like a Mosin, but looks to take a tiny magazine? Maybe .22lr? I dunno. Krag 30-40 (sporterized) Winchester .22lr (I believe it's a 190) AR-7 (with someone's DIY wood stock) Winchester Model 94 Serbian Mauser 8mm |

Thanks, Browning. Looking at the link you provided I believe you may be correct. I just put it into storage, but when I next dig it out I'll verify it.
I'm just curious as to what the little slot in the underside of the magazine is used for?

I'm just curious as to what the little slot in the underside of the magazine is used for? It's so the stripper clip used to load the rifle can fall free, leaving the rounds inside the rifle. With a Mauser you open the bolt, put the stripper clip with the rounds inside the guide, thumb the rds down and then pluck the empty stripper clip out and just drop it while pushing the bolt home. On the Carcano the whole thing just goes in the rifle and then the stripper clip drops out. Great for a soldier supplied with rds already loaded on stripper clips. Not so great for a civilian who wants to re-use said stripper clips. |

Browning,
I greatly appreciate this.
While I don't intend to shoot this often, I do want to be able to shoot it from time.
