Another great thread from FB.

Sometimes I wish Fatboy didn't live so far away, meaning , of course, that I should be HIS next-door-neighbor!

Was this an original factory 9.3 or was it rebarreled?

As for thin-tubed 9.3's, I remember a rifle we shipped off for a rebore {20 years ago now, when I worked in the gun shop}. It was a Browning BAR .30-06 that the owner wanted to make a 9.3x62 out if.

He got it, and about the second or third shot blew the front sight clean off.

The rebore crowded into the screw hole for the front sight and that t'was that. The tube was chopped back behind the threads and the fellow wound up with a nice, neat, unique, Browning BAR 9.3x62 with a 20-inch tube.

That would be a handy scrub gun.

It is a factory gun.

We would have some fun Rod that is for sure if we were neighbours,but what would we fight about as we agree on most things ?.

Here is a photo of the muzzle.
