From the research I and others have done, this is supposed to be a Salesman's sample rifle, shown at military events, etc. to induce sales contracts.

I bought this rifle before I had a computer, so didn't see any pictures.

It is in 45-50 caliber, a necked down 50 caliber case. I'll see if I can find (or take) some pictures.
