"GRI" stands for "Georgius Rex Imperator" The rifle The Rifle factory at Ishapore was set up in the 1920's and started out building .303 caliber rifles.
The .308/7.62 NATO rifles were built there post 1948 UNTIL 1956.
Some images for you...
BTW: The Brits refer to it as a "piling" swivel.

In the 19th Century, the bayonet served the purpose.
The best story I've heard about the strength of the Arisaka action involves a 6.5mm rifle rechambered to 30-06 but retaining the 6.5mm bore. :what:
First 2 rounds were hard to extract, 3rd locked it up tight. Gunsmith figured out the mistake. IIRC, the 6.5 Jap is approx .257, the .308 bullets...
44 revolvers are rifled. I have never heard of a 44 cal. "musket". When I did ACW re-enacting, we always did a careful inspection of arms before each "battle" that included making sure no one had ANY live ammo AT ALL. We even went so far as removing the rammers from all rifles/muskets to ensure...

The other metal loop at the 12 O'Clock is a a quick tensioner. The front swivel on...
I have never had an issue on a scene. When I was in EMT-I class, we had a LEO give a scene safety lecture. I made a point of speaking up and pointing out that NM has approx. 7K CHLs issued and that there are a lot of people that legally carry. The nice old shop keeper you're assessing for chest...

Jew "by choice" myself. Tried a LOT of other paths, finally found one that I could grok. I grew up around guns. Both my parents grew up around guns. My Father fought in WWII as a US Marine. My older brother was in RVN as a Marine. Shooting outings were a family affair. I just can NOT get my head...
