:dontknow: Something with a straight grip and an external trigger housing magazine.
(yes, it's a little small. I'm sure somebody will still get it though)

Let me get my glasses. I can't see the end of the bore, but here is a poke at it....GEW 88, Turked??

Hard to tell... Argentine Model 91 Mauser?

OK,
1888 8mm Commission rifle.
(somebody might have already said that though)

[GWLindsay]

I dunno... It has that single-column-magazine-Mauser look to it. If it's not the Argy then maybe a Belgian Model 1889?

THAT'S THE ONE!!!!:grinning-thumbsup:

good call! from that distance, it'd be hard for me to tell if it was an 1889 belgian or an 1891 argentine. the screw on the front end of the magazine is the only way i can tell them apart! congrats! Keith
