Gig improved. If necessary, I’ll file the tip so thet it gets narrower.

I made this gig, which works great on all my Mausers. But the Gew’s blade is so tight, that I bent the handle...
I’ll try with soaking in WD40!

Last week I went playing with Aunt Gew.
Great lady:lol:
If only I could move the front sight left...just 3/10ths of a mm...
But it is rock solid.
First shot high, then the rest.

I completely forgot the 200 meters.
Not so good. I had to compensate a lot and I'm not good at it.
Plus I was also a bit tired. Not being clearly as earlier anymore.
But still...
First shot out,...

Well well, Saturday I decided to take my New. 98 along, just for the fun of it.
Here is the result.
I was pretty astonished at the beginning.
After messing everything up after a short break, I was...

When shooting good at the range, one of my greatest reasons for being satisfied is that every rifle I have is perfectly as built, with the only exception of taller front sights on a few of them.
The...

Exactly my thought. But people are just....people.
Often enough.

Lots of milsurp shooters install Lothar Walther barrels on the M96 Carl Gustafs here.
I think it is good to have the possibility of getting new barrels for these old horses.
What I don’t like are...

Yes, it is something special.
It gives me a strange feeling. I really love to shoot it.
Something like my SMLE gives me.

Go get one.
They’re gorgeous!
You won’t regret it.

I’ll check it out sooner or later.
Last Friday I shot a first stint of 15 rounds fairly quickly. I could not hold the barrel with bare hands easily, but I moved the rear sight from 800 to 700...

Certainly not. It was all quiet at the front.
I have no issues at all with the rear sight ladder, even after 30-40 rounds and a fairly hot barrel.
There is probably something not completely ok in...

What does it mean “freeze up” the rear sight?
Apart from some truble with the heat from the barrel making sighting difficult, I have no other issues.
Bulky sight, but at the range I don’t need any...

I admit that I literally jumped on it when I saw it.
No loss of time.
And shoots well.

They changed the bullet, keeping the sights, if I’m not wrong. Just changed the numbers on the rear sight.
Today, with the 10 mm front sight and 700 m on the rear, depending on the load, I was...

Small mistake. It shot 24 inches high at 100 meters. 60 cm roughly.

Tomorrow I’ll take my Gew. 98 to the range, again. After a long time.
Today I finally decided to change the front sight and got a tall one installed.
Made my maths and adjusted the rear sight to...
