I have a rifle with the following on it.
On the left side of the Barrle by the bolt is the following.
ET's Continsoura Mlb 1907-15

I would like some info on the year this might have been made and by who and what calibur this might be.
Any and all help would be nice.
You may contact me @ eng1_98@yahoo.com

Hi, The rifle sounds like it may be a Turkish forestry carbine, It should be Continsouza.
I'm not entirely sure but it may have been a french rifle (eg Lebel) modified for turkish use back either pre/post WW1.
Caliber should be either 7.62x53 or 8x50 as I understand it.
