I was unable to post the images in the earlier thread....

I would like to know if this rifle is a good candidate for rebarreling to a more readily available ammo like a 30-06. My concern is that the name DEFOURNY LIEGE is on the barrel which would be lost once rebarreled. Also B.Blindee is on the barrel, don't know what it means.

It has the following marks / writing

DEFOURNY LIEGE Made in Belgium (on barrel)
8x60 S B.Blindee (on barrel)
"R" with a crown on top (on barrel and reciever)
Crowned Oval with with "ELG*" inside , (on barrel & receiver)
PV with a lion on dragon on top (also on receiver and bolt handle)
"D" with a star on top (on both barrel and reciever)
A sort of tower on the receiver.

Metal to wood fit is excellent, trigger is excellent. Bore is like new. 2xxx serial number.

Thanks
