So is it a Browning rifle or something cobbled together? There's no stripper clip slot so it would be a commercial action. I don't think the metal has been redone, maybe the bottom metal but not the action/barrel. The bluing there is very worn. Any idea what time frame this would've been made? 50's maybe? No rust to speak of on it. I think I will have it reblued. It could use it and I think it would be worth it to put that into it.
