Q#73

This "boys rifle" made from 1907-1930 had major innovations for mass production at a cheap rate. The tip-up action, locked by a rotating drum, has only five moving parts: the locking bolt, trigger, hammer, firing pin and extractor. They had brass barrels that were wrapped in sheet metal and had a 2 peice reciever also made of sheet metal. These rifles were so cheap that they retailed for $3.00 and sold for much less.
