PROBABLY 6.5 Carcano, but you should have it examined by a gunsmith to tell for sure.
What on earth is an "encampment"? A 1916 Ross MkIII rifle in original condition, still showing both the Regimental markings and the Ross-applied serial on the buttstock, with some original finish on the steel parts should sell for around $900-$1000 CAD or USD-
In order to help answer your question correctly,I would need more info about the rifle.Please include if your rifle is a lever action,bolt action,or single shot.The barrel length,the maker of your rifle if present,and any special markings other than the patent dates,which you have already posted.
Please list the markings on the gun, and doublecheck that information. The patent date is certainly not 1794 since that type of rifle did not exist then. If you can send a digital picture we'd be glad to correctly identify the rifle for you. sales@countrygunsmith.net That date is April 17, (18)94. It would have been manufactured between that date and 1916 when the company was sold to New England Westinghouse. We will still need all the markings on the rifle, as there were several different variations of Boy's Rifle.
Nobody. The M16 is not a sniper rifle, and it did not enter production until 1960.
made between 1913-1916
the 1916 luger was a WW1 pistol. However, many WW1 lugers were pressed into German service during WW2. Not necessary nazi marking on WW1 lugers...........but possible
10-1000 USD depending on specifics
H&A went out of business in 1916. Your rifle is likely from about 1890, but no exact records of production dates
Forehand and Wadsworth was established in 1871 and in 1890 the name was changed to Forehand Arms Company. In 1902 Forehand was taken over by Hopkins & Allen who continued to manufacture many of the same models, changing only the markings. Hopkins & Allen went out of business in 1916. It is not likely that the exact date of your firearm can be established- sorry.
Late (almost certainly December) 1916
your Winchester model 1894 was produced in 1916.
