Sporting guns were produced right up to the end of the war in Germany. I have examined a drilling that was proofed in the spring of 1945. Troops that entered Suhl at the end of the war, reported finding sporting guns still in production.

Its in! The rifle is in much better shape than expected. Case color is beautiful, bore is ok- the last 2 inches of muzzle are rusty. The bad news is that the mainspring is broken

My sympathies on the mainspring, and wish you the best of success in getting that fixed.

A real gunsmith should be able to duplicate the spring.

What kind of spring is it? Flat, V, cool or other?
