Came across this imagine of the “Dalton Death Rifle”. Was wondering if anyone knew any more about it. The thing that caught my eye was the forearm. The forearm looks very short to be standard for a 86 Rifle to me. Thoughts anybody?

Neat picture, but I doubt that the really short forend stock was factory original.

I remember reading somewhere that the Dalton gang all had brand new special order rifles, bought specifically for this job. Guess they wanted to make an impression.

I highly doubt that is true.
