Bottom of receiver is stamped 7 :. in receiver behind trigger mech. is stamped a star within a star. Trigger is stamped 6 over PA in a square.

    It is probably a 6.5 x 52 Carcano WWII Italian military rifle. They use a 6 round clip that falls out of the bottom when empty.

    No saftey and most of them are not worth what a box of ammo cost.

    Either a 6.5 Carcano or 6.5 Vetterli conversion. A pic or more info on weight and length would help.
