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.

When they wake up they know that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

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

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