Answer
Will,
I believe you are talking about a Browning BAR rifle in the Safari Grade rather than a bolt action. I would recommend going to Browning.com and look at the "date my firearm" section under the service department. There you will find the letter codes for the later Brownings. I am not very familiar with the BARS, but I believe the CS in the serial number is the letters your will need to cross match with Browning.
