This is my most eccentric rifle, a Gold Wolf in caliber .30 A.O.A. It chambers and fires .30 carbine, but it shaves the brass at the rim a bit so its not quite right. As if the rim is too thick on a regular .30 carbine round.(Yes I have tried quite a few types and brands)
It cocks on closing and seems to take a AMT Auto mag 3 magazine, but honestly the mag was lost in the California desert long ago in 1992-1994ish.
Yes I know I need to do a chamber cast, but between deployments, then exiting the military and taking my contract here I haven't had the time.
The rifle weighs 6.5 lbs, FLAWLESSLY balanced and had a 10 round mag if I remember. It is an absolute tack driver to 100M you can take it out to 150M with soft points.
My goal is to find out what the heck it is, what caliber it is actually(Cerro cast coming in May) and Who actually made it.
The background on the rifle as it was when it passed into my fathers hands in 1992 was that it had been taken from a gentleman boarding a plane, through whatever stroke of luck and fate wound up at a PX gun store right before AAFES stopped selling guns and was bought in lot by Weisser Sporting goods in San Diego, Ca where it was given to my father. (How much of this is true and how much of it is the owner bsn'g my dad is speculation.)
I was posting this up to see if someone here may be familiar with it, or its maker Either Goldwolf or YSS.
The SN on the rifle ends in 0001 so there aren't too many of them running around from what I'm guessing.
I'm interested in knowing what y'all may know about it.
Enjoy the pics! I cannot get any better photos until May when I fly home to get them.
Gunsmiths.....Can this be converted to use a Blind Mag if all else fails?
We have been trying to figure out this enigma ever since. Any help would be appreciated.
