Early on, were there bolt action rifles made in Belgium for Browning that were sold in Europe and were not marked as being a Browning? I have one that is chambered in .338 Winchester that, in all respects, appears to be a Browning, including the stock and bolt release, however, having taken the action out of the stock I can not find Browning anywhere on the metal or wood. Many thanks to anyone who may have an answer, or information, regarding my question. James

BTW...I'll try to answer your question tomorrow... I'm fighting spammers on another forum right now...a real PITA
I also have a question, I have a Browning auto-loader 12 gauge, B32750 on the receiver, right side, i can't seem to find what type/ year this shotgun was made. A Shamrock ? and a BP on the barrel. (left side) A sun ? & OSS on the barrel. (right side) BROWNING ARMS COMPANY ST LOUIS MISS & 2¾ SHELLS. (BARREL LEFT) Any help identifying what type of auto-loader this is / year made and how much it may be worth would be greatly appreciated. I tried Brownings website, i couldn't make heads or tails. Thanks.
Sorry...never seen anything like a shamrock or sun as you describe Green Machine... Maybe someone else here will weigh in soon...
Sounds like an American Browning A5 to me...made during Nazi occupation of Belgium during WWII for Browning by Remington.
