1918 T-Gewehr Bullets

[Patrick Chadwick]

Solid copper for $4each

Well, you aren't going to be shooting any 30-shot competition series with that monster, are you?

"You get to a point in life, I am 63, that you start working on the bucket list and this was one of the first on the list some 40 years ago."

Yeah, not getting younger, healthier, richer or prettier - time to get things done!

Eagerly awaiting progress reports!

Good Morning Patrick,

Have you just thrown down the proverbial gauntlet? I think I could shoot 30 rounds standing/sitting at the table. If you told me to do this in the prone positing, I would have to revert to my NY roots and tell you forgetaboutit! Will let you know when I secure the beast.

Good Afternoon All,

The T-Gewehr was purchased today and will be on its way to Miami shortly. For those who have been helping me with information and support, I want to thank you. The T-Gewehr has been on my bucket list since 1976, and I only wish dad was still here to get his shoulder bruised along side his son. My love and profession of history came from him.

There will be more questions for all of you once the rifle arrives. As quick as I can, I will definitely post pictures. Range report is looking like at least 3-4 months till components and dies arrive.

Thanks Again,
Randy

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

Very nice...now for about 50 rounds of brass.

[rescuerandy2]

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

[browningautorifle]

I'll bet that will bend back without trouble.

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

[browningautorifle]

in my vise

Yes, protected jaws and all... I would likely use a 15" crescent wrench for the bend. That way it's slow and controlled?
