7.62-MM M14 with a walnut stock. Trained with it during my military days but I didn’t take it on deployment. I was stuck with the M16A2 in Afghanistan and M4 carbine in Iraq.
Nice! Mine’s a Henry in .45-70 Government. Good for most big game in North America. Marlin briefly had theirs rated for T-Rex as a cross promo for Jurassic World. LOL.
It’s a normal sized rifle, it’s not a cannon or anything. Spec sheet has it at 38.1" (96.77cm) with a 19.8" (50.3cm) barrel. Weighs just over 7 pounds unloaded.
That is a side-gated, lever action, Henry rifle, chambered in .45-70 government. It’s rated for any big game in North America. With an added scope with 5x magnification.
Oh look, it’s me! ;)

I had someone not believe me when I told them they still issued M16s in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“Wikipedia told me they switched to the M4 entirely!?!?”
Yeah, okay bud, just like they’re going to be using nothing but the M5 in another decade.
Or two…
Or three.
I bet you could get issued a M1 under the right circumstances.
People who don’t know how deep military warehouses go. Wouldn’t surprise me if there weren’t some WWI field phones floating around somewhere.
Isn’t the Army still issuing M1903s? With warehouses like that, they’ll never fully modernize!

Is this gun tiny or is this table enormous?
Oh, it’s a big damn table. LOL.

European here, what is that? Genuine question, it looks very shiney and expensive.
