Rio Bigg, SASS #29095 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 It looks pretty old and has some unusual features. It's a hammer single shot break action. There is a button on the left side to open the action. The trigger guard is unnecessarily ornate, having a curly section that extends behind the useful portion of the guard - it almost looks like it wanted to be a lever action. The chamber portion of the barrel is octagon. What is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
