The son and I were cruising the pawn shops today, and I traded into an old Belgium-made Browning BAR in 30-06.
It has "light" colored wood, engraving of an antelope on the right, elk on the left, and minor scrollwork on the trigger guard, etc.
Lot's of honest wear, esp near the muzzle but this old gun just exudes quality.
The serial number is 4897X (last # replaced with the 'x') followed by a space and M8. The serial number is on the right side of the barrel, and there's a ? proof mark on the other side of the barrel with a "PV" in it.
Any info much appreciated. TIA.
