No4's Dropped to the French Resistance

[browningautorifle]

303 british, was converted to 303 sporting,, 30,06 to 30,06cc, 8X57 to 8X60 and 8X64,
as the mill spec roungs changed the calss and you are not alowed to hunt with them.
the sights were fixed at 300m ot less and bayonet lugs removed, so you nedd to check the gun.

Sounds like you can still chamber the original cartridge though...

I wonder what efforts were made by the French provisional Government in the post invasion period (say 24 months) to round up the ex resistance firearms?

I don't think there was any effort at all...for some years. Mostly lip service.
