How does Shiloh mark the barrel on a .40-65?

I am looking at one that the dealer says it is a .40-65 but the barrel is marked “Caliber 40” over “2 1/2” which I thought would make it a .40-70 straight unless I am losing it

If it is really a Shiloh and it's marked Calibre 40 and under that stamp 2 1/2 it's a .40-70

That is what I thought. It is a Bryan gun

If you call them with the serial number they should be able to give you any further details you may want to know,twist rate for instance,maybe which chamber.

I agree that it is a 40-70.

My 40-65 is marked:

Caliber 40

40-65

It is a .40-70 straight. The dealer had it marked wrong

I was too slow, it sold. Hope the new owner knows what he is getting

I was about to and the dealer called me back to let me know he had made a mistake and it was already sold. They also had a Business Rifle in .50-70 with pewter forend for $1500 that sold
