I've done a search for "Hembrug" and come up empty. Has anyone heard of this one? My father-in-law has a rifle that he brought back from Korea in 1952. It's been lightly 'sporterized' and re-chambered. When he got it, it was chambered for .257 Roberts, but shot poorly (bore too large; rifling too slow?), so he had it redone. It's currently chambered for, of all things, 6.5 x 53R (Russian?). He uses resized .30-40 Krag brass, and 6.5mm, 140 grain bullets.
Can anyone shed more light on this obscure (to me, anyway) model amd caliber? If it's not too weird of a wildcat, I may buy it from him. Is it worth owning, other than sentimental value?
