You are correct. But the G33/40 was build of high Quality steel. So what does a large ring mauser build in 1944 made of all lightpostes have in strengh comparis to a Small ring G33/40 build in 1942 of high quality steel from sweden The Americans love to get thier hands on a G33/40 just to rebuild it to some insane powerfull caliber

The M69 is a Danish model. It is really called Otterup M69, and is basically a Mauser 98 action fitted whit a Otterup/Schultz and Larsen 6,5x55 match barrel and fitted whit Diopter sights, new stock, and new trigger, and the bolt is also refurbished. The M69 has been build on nearly all Mauser actions. Brazil Mod. 1908. Czech VZ.24. Mauser K98K. and so on, and so on. The K98K Was normally whit a bent Bolt, where the M98 was a straight bolt. The G33/40 is a really good actions for rebuilding to bigger calibers as 500 Nitro express. and so on If i where to build a rifle in a new caliber such as 6,5x55. and in that group, and I wanted a very good action, whit out going into details about different plants i would choose a action that was NOT build in and after war time. 1914-1932 and from 1940-1945. 1939 is a okay year. I have been lucky enough to buy 2 M69 build on Brazil Mod 1908, that was build at Mausers Oberndorf plant. It is 100% milled actions, no sheet metal (not even the follower) it was original chambered for 7x57 Mauser, so the basic size of the cartridge is good for medium calibers, and it is a very good action. The rest has been say'd Best Regards Riddersholm

I Don't see any problem in shooting an Moose whit that set up Best Regards Andi

Take a bit that is over the size of the head, grind it down so it fits just perfect, a little punch whit a hammer on the end, and put the bit screw driver on, and press and turn, works 90% of all times, maybe a little heat if there have been used some type of glue. Best Regards Andi

Well, depends what the new barrel is, and in what caliber, well the caliber bit does here, because the original 8x57IS is really expensive in hunting ammo, the Nikon is not that big a deal, i would say out seeing it, 4600NOK

Well this is not an easy one, but this looks close in the markings and the design, but have a look, this is a great homepage http://www.littlegun.be/arme%20belge/ar ... d%20gb.htm

Well * or S* is brass And St or St+ is a steel case, either plated or lacquered And a combination of a roman numeral is for the steel mill supplying the basic case metal, identifies it is a copper plated steel case And as you said i have just tested this whit a magnet, i have rounds whit all of the markings above, and it is correct

Yes that is correct And yes i agree it is not fun to find funny ammo and not having the weapon to fire it whit, that is why i have a little of everything used in the second world war

Well then it is a Armor Piercing tracer round used in combat, it does not have auto destruction system Still fun though

Found also more information on this page:http://www.mausershooters.org/k98k/8_ident.html It is an excellent site for information, it add up whit the things in my books But, how much is the bullet painted whit black? And the Steel core is actually armor piercing (just so you don't shoot it and think it is not) The self destruction system is a small charge right behind the tracer charge, when then the tracer charge is burned through it will get to the self destruction charge and simply make i blow the tale of the bullet, and making it go to the ground, it was only a practice round, and if the soldier had a miss fire, it would not fly that fare, and hurt civilians

Well then it is a practice, light pointed bullet with a steel core, and it is a tracer + it has auto destruction system also And as written the markings is as follows 13 38 P151 S* Lot 13. Production Year 38. Rheinisch Westfälische Sprengstoff A.G Werk Nürnberg Stadeln And the S* indicates that it is a Brass Cartridge

The normal identification markings is under the barrel where the barrel fits the receiver, pictures of those would help very much For example and The Choke 18,3 marking is just the trangboring as you call it, it is 1/2 in normal Nordic term The kal 12/70 is well the caliber The number 1053 - 2 is properly the serial number

What is it painted on the primer, and in what shape? And at the holster neck, is it painted there? if so ,in what color?

It is not a Sohn and Suhl, it has the ELG markings witch shows it is Belgium made, my best guess will be a Jules Pire shotgun, the markings are as good as the same, but do whit some differences The trangborring as you call it is 18,3 witch should be 1/2 but look for your self http://www.littlegun.be/arme%20belge/ar ... e%20gb.htm (it is the shotgun at the bottom page)

Hej, det er undersøgt, det tager 7 år har jeg fået afvide, men det ender nok med Tyskland sådan som det ser ud lige pt
