Could it be a commercial 1903 rotary/magazine?

Only if someone modified it by adding a guide ring.

The 'guide ring' was introduced by Steyr (OWGS) with the M1924 'Sequoia' and appeared on other long magazine MS (so - called 'High Velocity' or M1925) but was not added to M1903 through M1910.

Post WW2 Models of M1950, GK, NO, M1952...had one or more guide rings. Magnum models had two.


M1910, M1924.


M1903, M1910, M1924, 'M1925' (8X60), M1952 (6.5X68).


Magazine housing, Y1903 ('Greek' military MS).


Magazine housing, M1952, .30-'06.


Origimal M1900, prototype of Y1903.
