Rifle entry to international countries - barrel cartridge markings?

[curtism1234]

What are your thoughts on this: I'm having a barrel rebored from 30-06 to 9.2x62. Would having a simple thin line etched across the "30-06 Springfield" (but still viewable) be ok? The 9.3x62 would be engraved somewhere on the barrel

Or am I better off having the 30-06 100% milled out

I would be inclined to have it milled out. Only reason it could take for some officious border guy having a bad hair day sharing it with you.

Agree with the above. No need to take a chance when you don’t have to.

Clean it off neatly

Remember “it’s Africa”!
Take .30-06 off

First, see where it lines up after the rechamber job. It may be on the bottom of the barrel and out of sight.

Just curious, why a rebore and not just a new barrel?

It is a browning BLR

I have .458 B&M/.300 RUM etched on my rifle just in case as shown below. As cartridges have .300 RUM on them. That being said I never had them compared in a multitude of trips to various African countries.

Gotcha and in that case, with the lug setup, yes remove the '06 designation.

I've done the same with my 458B&M. I honestly don't think they care about the calibers from what I've seen. They just check the S/N and maybe how much ammunition you have.
