@@H.pylori I’ve visited the park a few times. The first couple times were long before the rifle had been found. Sure was a surprise when I took my kids there a few years ago! Fascinating stuff 😎
The best theory I’ve heard so far about how became forgotten begins with the missing lifter and carrier block. With those missing, making it capable of only being used as a single shot, leads me to believe some kids father let him use it. Single shots are much safer in the hands of inexperienced shooters. Well, kids being kids, he or she became distracted by something interesting like chasing lizards and simply forgot where they left it. It’s quite possible the child was hunting as well and bagged a deer but after dressing and packing out the animal couldn’t remember where the rifle was. At any rate, those rifles were not cheap and I’m sure the kid had a lot of extra chores to do for quite some time! This is the most fascinating part of the rifles find… Speculating on how it became forgotten. Thanks for the video!

Fascinating story.
We all have dreamed of stumbling upon something of historical significance or a mystery. I had read about this rifle prior to visiting the park.
