Many ar 15 lowers are marked multi caliber because with different barrels and bolt groups they accommodated several calibers such as 5.56, 7.62x39 and like I have 5.45x39. The best way to tell is to look at the stamping on the barrel . The vast majority are normal 5.56 (223). Check the bolt head too to make sure it fits the cartridge. They would be labeled if anything other than 5.56
That, plus, the cartridge has to fit through the magwell (addressing henryr's question) That .308 (#1) ain't gonna fit in the 5.56/.223 (#2) length magwell, but for a .30 caliber (sim to .308) the .300 Blackout (#3) will.

I have some stunning Colt and SW revolvers. Some from the early 60's, brand new never fired. Most of those are collector pieces if anyone is looking for an investment.
That's awesome Robbie. One of my favorite guns is a NOS Colt Cobra .38. It is new, unfired in the original box w the original bill of sale. I inherited it when my wife's grandmother died. It was her husband's, my wife's grandfather. Quite a conversation piece. Whatcha got?
I have a bunch of Colt snake guns and some really cool Colt Cowtown series revolvers from the 60's. There are 5 in the collection with presentation boxes.
In my area .20s and .16s have all but disappeared. You're going to have to deal with an outfitter likeGordy and Sons (houston TX) or my favorites Feland Firearms, in Cypress TX. I'm sure either one of them would have what you want, and you could probably afford it at Feland!! Good luck in your search. The guy who bought my .20 won't sell it back at any price..
I took my newly aquired Kimber to the range today for the first time and got comfortable with it really fast.
I have my dads Colt Corba .38. He bought it in 1955 new. No box like yours though and he probably fired it 12 times at most and I fired it 6 times about 10 years ago. It’s in outstanding shape. It just sits in my safe with my grandfathers 1917 Colt Police Positive.38.
All revolvers have hammers, but there are three types. 1) Exposed hammer, 2) shrouded, like the chiefs special, that allow you to still shoot single action, and 3) concealed or "hammerless" that are essentially double action only.

Colt Single Actions are very cool but they are another good example of how people really do grow bigger in the last 150 years. They do not fit my hand very well. Most replicas of them are made slightly larger to accommodate 21st century hands. I had a 45 for years but someone made an offer I couldn't refuse.
