They were a huge surplus arms and equipment company for many decades &#8211; the Century International Arms of their time, in some ways. They bought a bunch of surplus Remington and New England Westinghouse Mosin Nagant rifles as surplus after WWI, and converted many of them to .30-06 for the American hunting market. While a military rifle that was sporterized yesterday has little remaining value, these Bannerman guns are old enough that they have acquired newfound collector status as an interesting curio of the 1920s.<\/p>\n<p>Common legend is that these is particularly unsafe, but I think that is significantly exaggerated. I wouldn&#8217;t run hot 220 round-nose loads through one, but I think mild ammo is just fine (if you own one of these, you can make your own decision about firing it or not). Anyway, let&#8217;s take a look, and see what the characteristics of the Bannerman conversions are&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.forgottenweapons.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.forgottenweapons.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I&#8217;m taking a look at a Mosin Nagant converted to .30-06 caliber in the early 1920s by Francis Bannerman &#038; Sons.
