Found in a house fire

[edit]

I found one of these rifles that says 1890 on it and housefire. I don’t know how to post a photo here but if somebody has any information and can contact me? I would appreciate it wildeagleram@yahoo.com or Wildeagle9962@gmail.com 2600:6C40:6000:7424:182:A8A5:1D99:4A60 (talk) 15:10, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

1870/78/15 ammunition

[edit]

„These conversions were used for rear echelon troops (guards, training, etc.) and were rarely, if at all, fired with standard 6.5 mm military ball ammunition.“

What were they fired with, then, if not the standard ammunition? Underloaded 6.5, like reloaders fire them with nowadays? Or not fired at all? Can someone pleas clarify. 178.197.203.246 (talk) 10:47, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
