Seems like Krnka to me, could be one of those shotgun conversions since I can't make out a rear sight in the image.

Looks like a Musket variation in the first pic and a Carbine in the second, I'd bet on capture from the Ottomans. Just an interesting note. If only guns could talk. [[User:Black Irish Paddy|Black Irish Paddy]] ([[User talk:Black Irish Paddy|talk]]) 14:51, 25 March 2018 (EDT) | |||
