I recently acquired a rifle that had been my father's and his father's before him. I had used this gun forty years ago and it recently reappeared and I grabbed it. For all of these years I had referred to this as a .22 caliber rifle but apparently was wrong. It will not chamber a .22 and the barrel opening is obviously smaller than that. The gun has no readily identifiable label and the only thing I found that might be of help is a stamping on the bottom of the barrel which appears to read "54mm" though what I'm identifying as the "4" is not plainly readable.
Does anyone know if there is a conversion from 54mm to a relatively standard ordinance caliber that this might use? I'm thinking if I can find the proper ammunition for this I can use it to eliminate some critters around the barn that might want to do bad things to my bikes over the winter. :wink:
