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

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.
