A guy at work was given a rifle from his grandfather and only got one bullet with the gun. He doesn't know anything about it and was wondering what caliber it is so he can go buy some more ammunition for it.
Any one know what caliber this bullet it? You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. |

A picture of the rifle would help too. It's quite likely a Mosin Nagant (there are literally millions of them in circulation), but could be something more interesting.
