1918 T-Gewehr Bullets

[rescuerandy2]

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 shortly. When I get home next week, will give it a go.

Also dealing with the missing large, action screw. Need to the thread pitch as we prepare for possibly making a new one.

Thanks Much!
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 try to force the issue as this rifle is in fine condition. I am trying not to go for with the mallet, tape, and wood. Thanks, Randy

Does the sight not push down and come out the back end of the sight base?

[rescuerandy2]

Good Evening,

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

I meant the sight coming out of the base. Not the adjustment of the slider. They should depress at the front and unseat from the base, come off the rifle.

Like this...look at about 20 second mark.

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

Good Morning All,

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

[Patrick Chadwick]

Well done! That'll do to get it going. Now lets see some shooting! OK, I realize that it'll take a while to manufacture some cartridges.

[rescuerandy2]

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 all. 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, Randy
