So it’s not really a sniper rifle, but it is the only known example of a rifle that was lost to history since before WWI. When I found this thing for sale in Afghanistan I did some research and couldn’t find any info on it. Neither could everyone I reached out to. Fortunately, I have the perfect acquaintance/friend in Ian and he was able to do a really neat video on this rifle.
So, for the first time since 1903, a little piece of firearms history has resurfaced for your enjoyment.
@sirhrmechanic and @pmclaine because it is rare, cool, and mechanically interesting and you will appreciate it. I have found a prototype rifle, but I have yet to reach master gun collector level and find cannons in barns and rebuild them
