Guys , I have co-worker that has a .220 swift that was gave to him that is been around a while....and he wants to know more about it . The only markings on the rifle are on the barrel which says " Bliss-Tate" the action , he says , has no distinguishing markings at all. I f any one can shed some light WE will be grateful.

More info or pictures.

Maybe Bliss Titus was involved in building the rifle????

Don

You know , DMB , I talked to the old boy at work again and you were right it was Bliss Titus not whatever it was I said.Do you have any direction that you point me too??

Just did a Google search on bliss Titus and came up with the following book:
