Fred,
Adding photos to your post is a multi-step process and a lot of folks have trouble getting the hang of it. Once you have done it successfully one time you can do it super easy thereafter. You probably used the "upload photo" function at the top of the screen, but that is only part of the drill. First you must use the "Add Reply" button rather than the "Quick Reply" box. This will open up a new window to post your reply. Upload your photo and copy the URL below the uploaded photo when it appears (the "http//...etc."). Then click on the "IMG" button above the message box. This pops up another small window where you paste the URL you copied. Then click "OK" and shazam...the link to your uploaded photo appears in the message box. When you "submit reply", your photo will show up in your post. You can edit your post as many times as you need to get it right by clicking on the little pencil and paper icon on the bottom right corner of your post.


OK, I see that while I was writing this you were at least able to post the URLs. Without seeing the right side of the gun and the action open, it appears that it may be a modified Flobert system action. Lots of this type of system was made into .22 rifles by various makers and ranged from quite simple to very elaborate guns.
