all of the .25 variations, and 260 to start with.
Winchester rifles of that age and caliber start out around $1500. It could be worth up to $1000 more depending on overall condition.
Just before the start of the US Civil War, it is estimated that 700,000 rifles were available. Half of these, however, were obsolete smoothbores, and only 36,000 could be considered modern .58 caliber.
With the exception of a few target grade rifles, all rifles have some degree of freebore. Freebore is the distance between the full diameter of a bullet resting in the case of a chambered cartridge and the start of the rifling. If there were no freebore at all, there could be no variation from one cartridge to the next, from one bullet length to another, etc.
Let's start by using the right term- I think you mean a .380 cartridge- many guns use .380 caliber BULLETS.In general, NO. Unlike .22 shorts and long rifles, rimless cases do not interchange. It may be possible to get a .380 cartridge to fire in another gun- but not safely. Use ammo that is the caliber marked on the gun.
Is all depends on the model and the size of the pellet. Most air rifles are used for rodent control. BB guns & rifles are designed for plinking and target practice. Pellet rifles are a better choice for rodent control. However, Pellet rifles are made in different calibers. Starting with .177 (the most common) .20, .22, .25, 9mm, 45 Cal and 50 Caliber. The last 4 sizes usually fall into the PCP (Per Charged Pneumatic) air rifles that require 3000 psi to fire them and are capable of bringing down a bear or deer. These rifles start around $500 and up. Olympic "Match" air rifles usually cost around $3000 to $5000. A .177 caliber rifle can kill birds, squirrels and rodents. When using them for rodent control I suggest "Hollowpoint" pellets. They deform on impact and make a clean kill.
Crude cannon? About 1000 years ago. Rifles? Mid 1500s in Europe.
Hopkins and Allen began manufacturing the .22 caliber Pointer derringer in 1873. This small, easily concealable firearm gained popularity for its design and functionality during its time. The company was known for producing a variety of firearms, including revolvers and rifles, alongside the Pointer derringer.

Havlin's book on Mossberg history should have the answer.
I can start with the fact that total production of the winchester model 65 was only 5,714 rifles made between the years 1933-1947.their serial numbers fall into the range of the model 1892 winchester,s.The .218 bee caliber was introduced in 1939.While the 25-20WCF is the rarest,the .218 Bee is the caliber with the most demand.I hope this helps a little.
