My grandpappy passed on recently and this rifle was a belonging he left behind. I can’t find any distinguishing marks or serial and there are no papers to be found. Any help?

It's a Marlin 55, or one of the many off brands built on the same design. I have one, and I would bet a majority of the folks on here have one crammed in a closet somewhere.
Adam Rogers
It's also a shotgun. Most likely 12 or 20 gauge.
Jason Hill
Ye old bolt action boomstick, coming soon from Montgomery Ward.
Ayden Cox
I appreciate it
Henry Davis
Looks like and old sportco - its an old Austrian company that no longer is around. Known for being on the cheaper end.

It's a Marlin 55. Or Western Field 175. Or whatever the flavor of they day was at the time.
Isaac Gray
Its a FAMAS.
Joshua Ross
You fool that's a Heckler and Wesson Mark 1975 chambered in .257 Win Mag
Gabriel Foster
What did he mean by this?
Cameron Cruz
That's it's a bolt action shotgun chambered in 12 or 20 gauge most likely, but possibly 16 as well. It looks to beefy to be a .410
Noah Smith
I think its a chey tac m2000 but im not sure what caliber, maybe 25mm?
Lincoln Adams
Looks similar to an old bolt action shotgun dad bought at Monkey Wards in the late 60's - early 70's. It is still in good mechanical order but the stock is cracked :(
Robert Thompson
Update: dug some more and found another weird one. Pics incoming.
Gavin Bell
What holds the magazine I guess.
Justin James
A single shot break barrel shotgun probably built by H&R or NEF.
David Campbell
'Magazine'? That's a single shot something with a break open. It either fires something like 9mm short or cal .410 shotty; I can't quite get the dimensions right.
Ryder Morris
The barrel. It’s so small I don’t think anything over .308 could fit in it.
Caleb Evans
They used to call these things garden guns, some places in the world. For killing gophers and such.
Jaxon Kelly
It's a .410
Christian Ward
Looks like an old .410 single shot. A Savage / Stevens maybe? Any markings on it?
Asher Carter
Now that you mention it, I missed it at first but it’s definitely a Stevens
Lincoln Thomas
After close inspection, the thing on the bottom is a trigger lock.
