May we see the end of the barrel and also know the size of the bore?

It appears to be a 35 Remington semi-automatic, clip fed rifle, made back in the 30's or 40's.

I have a Remington mod.11 that was made under the browning patent. Made in the late 1930's. They were used in WW2 then became riot guns for law enforcement. I still use it to deer hunt.
BTW I thought the german mauser was the most copied gun or atleast the most faked because of it being highly collectable.
Either way, glad ya'll were able to ID the gun
