My father and I were having a discussion about an old rifle his grandfather had and I'm trying to identify what it might have been.
All I know is that it had an octagon barrel, pump action, and was chambered in what he said he thought was .25 special ( I find no reference of any ammo named this anywhere). He said it was similar in power to a .22 magnum, and that you could chamber a .25 pistol round, but it wouldn't cycle with the pump action.
Even in the late 50's/early 60's, the ammo seemed to have been obsolete.
Anyone here have any idea what it might have possibly been? I may be able to track the rifle down when I make a trip back to his home state this winter, but I'm not holding my hopes up.
