Not 20 mm, could not afford to shoot it.
British Boys Rifle, RBMkI. Originally in .55 Boys, this one has been converted to ,50 BMG. Turned down Ma Duece barrel.
I had this on my mind last night and looked thru my Library...Almost decided it was a Jap 20mm.. because of the flash recoil device on the barrel and the lack of the Tall ammo box that sitts up in view of target..Still be a hoot to see it pop..
There was a beautiful 20mm swiss antitank rifle down in Oklahoma at the state museum...Some of nicest items came from a deceased former collector..Anyway two men had to carry that gun, you could handle theirs and it was massive... with front legs that would support a jeep... and a huge deflector that would fit a field gun...Imagine the side blast...
Have you shot it much?? Peace toolman
