Did it have a Monopod? Might be a Boys Anti-Tank Rifle. They were actually manufactured in Canada for the British and Common Wealth Troops as an anti-tank Weapon during WW2 the original caliber was .55.

They were Also issued to USMC Raider Bn's during WW2. 2ND Raiders used a Boys shot down a taxiing Japanese sea plane during the Makin Island Raid in 1942.
