GREAT BASIN NATIONAL PARK, Nevada – Officials at Nevada’s Great Basin National Park said they are trying to determine the origins of a 132-year-old rifle found leaning against a tree.
Park officials said the rifle, identified by an engraving on its side as a Model 1873 Winchester manufactured in 1882, was found blending in with the colors of a juniper tree in the park and seems to have been there for “many years.”
