Here is where I begin to ask for your patience....

RUN WITH THE FOX: You want me to check the scope bases, inside the dovetails. Is that simply an eyeball check? Or is there disassembly required? (I'm at work on Tuesday morning now, gun is at home). The markings shown (Krupp-Stahl, etc) are from underneath the forearm of the gun.

ELLENBR: What are the flats? Is that the flat part of the gun when cracked open (like in the 3rd pic of my initial post?)

Please excuse my lack of knowledge, I just need to understand so I can take the correct pictures you might need to help me.
