I have thought about modifying it to deer hunt but just not sure I want to spend the money to modify a $100 dollar gun. Mine is a 1946 model with original wood stock and built on swing out bayonet.

I have the same gun but its be sporterized, which means the stock is more updated and makes it real fun to shoot. Out of the box it will hit a pie plate open site at 100yrds, I want to bring it to TX and shoot a doe to see what damage it will do.

Its a pretty big nasty round. I'm sure it will do alot of damage. I sure would have hated to shoot/get shot by it in WWII

Yea it would suck to be shot with that thing, I have a buddy that sells guns and he says that if you shoot the cheap surplus ammo in them in the dark it will blow fire like never seen
