i suspect it's a mannlicher.
some places restrict hunting rifles to 5 rounds. it's a problem if you're using a garand, as the en-bloc clips are a hassle with less than the full load of 8. they make special 5-round clips for just such a reason.
Thanks! I know almost nothing about hunting except you don't hunt at night or near houses. I had a boss in NC who got ticketed for "Fire-lightin'" (spot-lighting) when he shot at a deer jumping in front of his pick-up.
I once found an expensive, aluminum-shafted hunting arrow embedded in the back of my shed, less than 100' from my house. Some asshole violated a half-dozen laws, including trespassing on posted land (not mine). That was when we lived in what passes for mountains in NJ, 4 acre lots, lots of woods and wildlife, including black bears. Some summer camps were up there, too, and a nearby ski slope. Beautiful area, beautiful house, it was a total money pit, and too damn far from everything...nearest supermarket was 10 miles away!
Just out of curiosity, wasn't Oswald's mail-order rifle he used to shoot JFK a Mannlicher?
