Fellow brought in to my friend's shop a Polish issued, Czech(?) mfg. 8xBIGmm caliber rifle to get sorted. Took a few quick pics, but I think I ought to ask permission to show them. Its 70"/1.78m OAL!
Does anyone have cartridge drawings, pics or specifications? Base is rather smaller than .50 BMG, probably about 0.640"/16.25mm
Jmoore, look at this. It will eventually be this rifle. Wz. 35 anti-tank rifle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Its the rifle on the right (in the grass). So its not Czech at all.
Thanks again!
Crazy looking cartridge! 1275m/s! (Shown on the Wikipedia link)
Glad to help!

Gunner
jmoore - do you think you might get permission to post those pics. How rare would that Polish ant-tank rifle be?
dastier,
This is a pic of the rifle out from the web.

I'll try, but it might be a bit. Gunner's link has lots more info, I just know its the only one I've seen.:)Quote:

Actual combat photos or when deployed are welcome too but probably extremely rare now.
I hope they're OK, the rifle's gone now, and I don't remember exactly what pics were taken...Don't know if I can get it back in.
Hi dastier,
as you said hard to find! But i found a few pics of the rifle. I think you will know those pics and the link, but...
