Tim, do you find it hard to get ammo for that rifle? I'm sure you've
still got it.

It is hard to tell exactly what that gun is but if it is an old army
falling block (popular in the west) it was likely to be 45-70 and you
can still find that ammo. Just be sure it is downloaded to black
powder pressures to be safe. Some of those would handle modern loads
but I suspect most won't.

Personally I would consider anything like that to be a wall hanger.



The Italians make lovely clones of the old lever action rifles:
