Geez. I'm an idiot...

I suppose I didn't associate the term "glass" with a firearm this old, even though it's got those nifty snap in lugs on top. I never got past the novelty of that switch-toggled flip up rear iron sight. That thing is no end of fun.

When I think glass, I'm thinking about an ACOG or a camera lens.

I totally missed that ball. It would be neat to have something up there, though. I wouldn't mind shooting this, actually, but I don't want to become attached. Got to sell it, in the end. Best not to have much fun.

That's how you end up keeping stuff.

flyfisher,
Mortgage the house, and keep the drilling.

Wonderful old German Drilling
BLG: Bleigeschoss: Lead bulett, 13Gramms=200gr, The bullet they haved prooved.

I'm back. Didn't mean to run off, but I had some medical nonsense, and ended up forgetting about the firearm.

flyfisher,
I'm going through the kidney stone "thing" now; It will make you forget everything, even prostate cancer. We are, except for Raimey, mostly "old farts", so we understand.

Haha. Thanks.

I know there are few things as annoying on the net as someone starting a thread like this and then running off; never to post again. Well, that, and being told you should have used the search, when no similar thread has been posted in many years.

I'm going to try to put this stuff together again. Can't find my original document, but there's enough information here to begin again.

Looks a lot like one that i posted on here in October 2016
