@tjtM38 Absolut true what you say. Don't change a running system and stay with the things that work. But, when you own a rare cartridge... I have a MP43 as well. Today there are a lot of loads available for the 8x33 (CIP = 7.92x33 kurz). I was told by the guy who sold me the MP43, that it was a very...

We would not see these here in the states until after the wall came down in '89. Possibly Spain? Spanish Civil War ...

I have no clue, but will ask some friend of mine.

Sadly the rail was mounted on top of the hex. The screws were glued in. I had to cut them and smoothed them with grinding paper. Picture is added. It looks worse than it is in reality

I bought this gun some years ago via internet from a guy who used this poor gun as a hunting rifle. It came quite cheap and the first idea was to use it as an shooter, replacing the stock etc. But, I decided to keep it as it is :D So, when it came, the front sight and the cleaning rod where missing....

Hello from germany,
as my Nick suggests I'm from Kiel in germany.

I own some nice WW2 guns and there is a 91/30 as well. That's the reason I am here.
