I'm pretty sure my rifle was a '19 model. So not recent. But no more browning for me. However, I'm glad I bought the rifle, I learned a lot with it and now I have much nicer rifles because of it. For the amount I spent trying to get it to work like I expected, I could have built a nicer rifle myself, with the help of a local smith for any lathe work needed.When was this rifle from? Not that it's changed or been redesigned but just curious
