Posted 23/09/07 04:56 AM Author Share Posted 23/09/07 04:56 AM I think you will find that is a .30 cal, .50 cal's had a solid barrel with no cooling cover shrouding the barrel and were twice as big as the puppy you are holding. Still a good find.Regards Bobyep reckon you're right.

Still a good find.Regards BobI agree, size would suggest .30, would say a 1919A4 but the bolt is to far back or a 1956 FN30, however .50 cal did come with peferated barrels, the M2 mounted on aircraft for example. Nice find, make a good door stop.Felix Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/37847-the-stuff-you-find/page/3/#findComment-577445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
