i was trained in the use of a, "bar" rifle. was a full auto, a real beast, not too good for going after deer and such. if memory serves, i think it was 30.06 caliber. i'd love to see fotos when you're finished with the job.Monk, There well be six big game animal's on this Browning rifle three on each side this rifle is a grade 1 no engraving make's for perfect canvas for engraving like the grade 1 Browning A-5 shot gun also no engraving.
