I think you’ll find that it is a Musket, if you research a touch more.
Not a type 56.
$2400, sadly I looked at it but had to choose between it and a Danish Rolling Block, couldn’t afford both.
Is it a Finnish lungmann? Not sure on the spelling
No, but it was designed close by (not in Finland though).
Ah, its that Swiss one, can’t think what it’s called now, I’ll have to use my Google fu
Not Swiss either.
Nope no mention of a musket that I can see…
I have seen them referred to as muskets
I know its not wikipedia but I think these sources may be trusted…Its not like Browning is an unknown Designer and Winchester an unknown maker.

That’s Winchester 7.62x54R
Oh, I was late to the party, damn.
It is a 7.62 (but not Winchester) .
No, it’s a Mosin 7.62 round, I meant tie wasade by Winchester, chambered in 7.62x54R for Mosin (or dragoon in fact).
I’m referring to the lever action.
I know -I’m talking about the current one, its 7.62 X ??
The semi-auto looks like some sort of variation of Egyptian Hassan or Hassam or something like that. Guessing by dust cover.
Yes but what is it?
It’s either 308 or Mauser 8mm or something
No the Gun
Yes but if you look at it from a historic point of view every longarm with a smooth bore was termed a musket and every longarm with a rifled bore was called a rifled musket, shortened to plain rifle in modern times.
A musket is a muzzle-loaded, smoothbore, long gun that appeared in early 16th century Europe, at first as a heavier variant of the arquebus, capable of penetrating heavy armour. By the mid-16th century, this type of musket went out of use as heavy armor declined, but as the matchlock became standard, the term musket continued as the name given for any long gun with a flintlock, and then its successors, all the way through the mid 1800s. Musket was retired in the 19th century when rifle muskets (simply called rifles in modern terminology) became common as a result of cartridged, breech-loading firearms introduced by Casimir Lefaucheux in 1835, the invention of the Minié ball by Claude-Étienne Minié in 1849, and the first reliable repeating rifle produced by Volcanic Repeating Arms in 1854. By the time repeating rifles became common, they were known as simply “rifles”, ending the era of the musket.
