They call it the cannon at my local range. Randy

Good Evening,

Not satisfied with status quo, I have had to move to permanently using 50BMG cases for the T. Was waiting on RCC Brass to make some cases to original specs but bankruptcy got the...

Good Afternoon All,

Finally!! I got the T-Gewehr to the range:

1918 T-Gewehr at the Range - YouTube

It was amazing and not as bad as I expected. Randy

Thanks Jim. Looking at Browning techniques and a few vendors who sell the solutions. Randy

Good Afternoon,

Now let's get picky. As you can see in the photo, the new bolt is blue and the finish for the T-Gewehr is brown. What solution(s) and process would I need to brown the new bolt. ...

Good Evening,

With the help of Scott (Georgia) and Brian (Manitoba) I have successfully reproduced the missing large action bolt and the T-Gewehr is now complete and waiting for cartridge...

Good Morning All,

This weekend I am going to remove a small test patch of paint in a discrete location to see what's underneath. I guess I will add the tubular bipod to the "want/need" list! I...

Yes, mine is the early, rivetted version. As I can see on the images of that first version above, there is that green paint. While the paint on my bipod is similar, and has been laid on thick as I...

Gentlemen, more photos tomorrow. I will need the daylight to get at the areas that may give us a better clue. Thanks, Randy

Agreed. That's why I am wondering what's under all that nice paint. Not sure where I caught some text on reproductions coming out of France? Do I have an original or reproduction. Randy

Next Issue.

The first version bipod is in excellent condition but I am wondering about the originality of the heavily applied paint:

What say you all?...

Thanks! Looking to be about 90 days for the lathe-created cartridges. Powder, primers, and a running motor hear in Miami while I have have not heard back on the bullets or dies. Again, thanks to...

Good Morning All,

Got the sights just about where they should be and I will stop here. Thanks All!

At work now but will give it a Go tonight. Great video. Thanks! Randy

Good Evening,

The slider easily goes between 100 and 500 to smoothly stops at 500. Randy

Good Evening Patrick,

I have been able to move the slider but unable to remove the slider/rail from the sights. I am also unable to remove base from the rifle. At this point, I am hesitant to...

Patrick this is excellent! I am in LA till Thursday and will be ordering two clamps. My colleagues are educators who should never own tools and have none to load. So, I will be securing two clamps...

I see the u-shape that is problematic. Thanks

Will do. Thanks.

Good Morning All,

Sorry for the delay. I had ta plane trip from hell last night with an additional 6-hour wait at Miami heading to LA. The slider is jammed with absolutely no movement all. ...

Jim,

I was thinking to put the long piece in my vise and then try to bend the shorter piece, with the slider, into place. Thanks, Randy

Got an issue with the T18 rear sights. Looks like it was bent while at the 500 yard setting. Suggestions on fixing. Thanks, Randy

Thanks. 50 cases and .525" bullets are being prepped as we speak. The cases will be made to factory specs. Randy

Sorry about those photos. Will flip them for you tomorrow. Randy

Good Evening All,

Finally can say that the first item on the bucket list is now no more. All is well, except a missing action screw. Seller is on vacation this week and his shop will be checking...
