Quiz - can you identify the weapon this housing and magazine came from ?

A big clue is in the photo

[jak]

Winchester Light Rifle. It says that on the bottom of the photo. I think it's from the late 50's.

[RCS]

I did not realize the bottom of the photo had the name, special caliber too (would not chamber the 223 or 222 Rem Special as it was called)

A box of 224 Winchester from 1958 sold on gunbroker yesterday.

Photos: Winchester 224E2 and 222 Remington Special

first cartridge with the red tip is 4,85x49mm British developed for the SA 80 bull pup.

difficult to find tracer in this loading

If you think the 4,85 cal cartridge is small, how about the 14/222 Rem which is a 14 cal necked down on a Remington 222 case. Uses special jacket bullets and you need a custom made 14 caliber cleaning rod and patches etc
