With everyone's help, I bought some 8.15x46R dies, cut down some 30-30 cases and bought some over-sized lead 30-30 bullets. I strapped this gun to a stool and rigged up a trigger pull from phone line. Fired it 4 times, cut it loose and put one in the target on the first shot. For a gun that has been silent for 60 years plus, what a day!
Now I am trying to fix the sights. These look the same as the Gewehr 98, but as can be seen in the pictures, they have been cut down to fit. The back "V" part is wind-age adjustable with a screw that was frozen and now snapped off. I am in the process of trying to remove it, but at a loss as the G-98 never had wind-age adjustments.
Any more help would be appreciated.
