Wow, that's orange. Is that the flash or does it really look like that? I'm not sure but I don't think that's the original finish. Most I've seen are brown but I really don't know all that much about them. The Swedish versions often look like that so maybe they used the same finish and the brown ones are just old.

Looks to be in great shape.

Does it kick at all?

[Anzac15]

It is indeed the flash. Tried to tone it down, wasn't gonna happen. It's much more subdued in person. Hardly any recoil at all, due to the DGI and weight. Very glad I happened on this one. It definitely turns heads at the range!

Yup, you don't want to shoot them under a covered firing point.

I didn't think it was all that load...nor any loader than anything I was shooting.

[Anzac15]

Made the mistake of taking it to an indoor range the other day. Hoooo boy!

[browningautorifle]

Sure light up the firing point doesn't it. Lifts the dust off the overhead beams and checks everyone's hearing protection...

Did you mean loud?
