I had inherited a couple of guns from my father that were his dad's.

My uncle is pushing 90, and gave me a rifle I did not know about in the family.

It was my grand mother's.
I did not know about it.

She is from Canada.

Her mother was First Nations.
This was from her family, a wedding gift or dowry given to her father.

The leather is in horrible shape.

But the gun is close to 150 years old.

I can't see where the caliber is listed.
The firing pin is offset, so not center fire. One of the old 40 ish rim fires I guess.
Plan on it being a wallhanger as much as I would like to shoot it.

I never knew my grandmother had it. He got it from her.

He has a son and daughter, but we share an Infantry, airborne, Ranger history so we have always had a rapport. He was 101 for the big one then a Ranger company in Korea.

Photobucket is dead to me.
I hated Imgur.
So this is a google photo test.
