Polish anti-tank rifle

**jmoore** · 12-18-2009 07:51 AM

Fellow brought in to my friend's shop a Polish issued, Czech icon

(?) 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

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Jmoore, look at this. It will eventually be this rifle. Wz. 35 anti-tank rifle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

jmoore - do you think you might get permission to post those pics. How rare would that Polish ant-tank rifle be?

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.

I'm familiar with it and have checked a few web sites including wikipedia but its always nice to see close up pics of the breech, mag, bolt, sights, etc taken by someone that knows and appreciates firearms.

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.
