.50 Browning & M1 Garand clip on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

In my 35 it's hard to load more than 4 because of the ribs/quides inside the receiver that the necks go up against. I don't want to modify the receiver , but it could be ground out if you wanted to load 8 shot clip full. I use a Holbrook device (modified oprod catch) and load into a 5 round clip already in the rifle. All my elk kills only took one round anyway, the 250 grian Hornady soft point bowls em over.

Roland: Do you make the barrels or get them somewhere? This is a project I'd like to try myself. Thanks, dg
I cant understand why someone would do that to finest rifle ever made,when you can find a Browning BAR in most all calibers and who cares what you do to one of them:)

I was very skeptical to even be near it, but I saw it fired, and it work. I personally did not shoot it. By the way, the oprod was on top of the barrel, sorta like an FAL.

for a BAR affecinado what you just said is just as sacriligous as rechambering an M1 is to you. Go Figure:rolleyes:Quote:

I would like to see a barrel in 7.5X55 even thogh it would be limited to 7 rounds.How about 6.5 X 55 Swede? Will
I machine the barrels from Douglas premium blanks. However, I don't sell my custom barrels except as a component of custom rifles I build.Quote:
