So years ago I inherited a rifle that I later took to a gunsmith to get some information on it because honestly I have no idea what it is. The gentleman called it a “Mutt gun” and said he personally wouldn’t shoot it because it looked like someone had Put it together from different types of firearms and that it was clearly no longer chambered in .30-06 but it would instead make someone a really nice lamp. I put back It in the safe along side my other milsurps and forgot about it. Couple days ago I was going through my firearms to do some routine cleaning and saw it sitting there and my mind started wandering. It’s a Gnarly looking rifle and honestly scares me a little bit when I think about shooting it simply because I don’t want to eat a face full of receiver or stock if the thing happens to have a colossal failure but the other side of me really wants to put a few rounds through it. I haven’t taken it apart yet but honestly with something like this I don’t think I’m qualified to determine if it’s safe to shoot so I thought I would at least throw this beast out to you guys and see what your thoughts were in general on it. It looks to me like it’s set up to shoot 7.62 but again I’m rolling dice here. I do appreciate the feedback. I’ve included photos below.
