Dad gave this gun to me just before he passed. I believe it should be firing the 6.5 Argentineicon Mauser ammunition but I can't even get a primer strike. I've taken the bold apart three times, everything appears solid and intact, no chip on the firing pin, firing pin spring is incredibly strong and I've reassembled it and screwed both parts back together correctly I believe according to the two videos I used.
Saw a post or video I didn't save and can't find again which detailed just how far you screw the two parts back into the retainer piece, if that word is correct. Is this gun specific as to exactly how many turns each piece goes in?
Were these guns rechambered into a more popular cartridge that I could try with a primed only brass case?
Thanks,
George in already cold and dark Alaska...
