Hi there,
This is my first post here, i joined as I am currently in the process of importing a rifle from the US to Australia. However the rifle I have chosen seems to be of an odd sort. Here are some details.
Browning Belgium Safari 338 Win Mag
Serial Number: B58781
When I contacted seller in regards, he was un-able to give me much information on it. He told me that it is Identical to other Browning Safari rifles he has however this rifle is not stamped browning. On the receiver it has Fabrique Nationale stamped and where it would normally have a Browning stamp on the barrel it has Chrome Vanadium Steel stamped.
I was hoping someone on here could shed some light on the history of this rifle and maybe help find a build date and any other info.
Would this affect value?
