old hunting pic with a vergueiro or M 88 rifle?
      #178337 - 04/04/11 02:24 AM

when looking for something on my hardware found an old pic again that I save sometimes somewhere
I dont know when or where it was made but believe it was of german origin. what do you think is it a vergueiro rifle or a M 88 military rifle? its clear that the action is polish and the rifle is original military. I am not sure if there is a mannlicher magazin.

Certainly a M88, not a Vegueiro. Why? Beside the left knee you can see the protuding magazine of the comission rifle. On the Vegueiro receiver and bolt were blued. No pistol grip, but straight stock. The rear sight is not hidden in part by the long wood handguard of the Portuguese rifle, running from receiver to lower band.
