POLICIA Prov SANTA FE mod 92 calibre ID?
I got hold of a tiny little levergun, a wincester model 92 with a 38cm(15") barrel, saddle ring, and side mounted sling braces.

What I can't figure out it caliber;
It is marked 44WCF on the barrel, but on the reciever it has:


358
POLICIA Prov. SANTA FE
CAL.45 REFORMOOTME-CBA.(RA)

Stamped into it, hardly viible in one part, the "REFORMOOTME" isn't so clear where it appears to say "OOTM" the rest is quite legible.

Before I go makeing up a cast of the chamber, can anyone tell me what calibre this rifle should may be?

Thanks.

44WCF is 44-40. The bore should be .429 but may be .427.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.
