A positive ID can be made using a chamber cast. You can also slug the bore to determine what bullet diameter it uses.
The fact that the barrel has no markings means that it was somebody's garage project, since federal law requires re-barreled rifles to carry caliber and cartridge markings on the barrel.

This rifle looks to have been made in the 50s or 60s. I wonder if the law was in effect then? I have one other older rifle without barrel markings. Of course they could have both been home built.
