the front sight is realy interesting

we had the Haenel M 1900 before here and there may be some informations somewhere in the mannlicher forum. the only thing I find now was this http://forums.nitroexpress.com/printthre...amp;type=thread

the 10,75x57 was the 11mm Mod.88 in old days loaded with 3,5 gramm R5 powder so a proof load of 3,2 gramm Gewehr Blättchen Pulver seems plausible. the Gewehr Blättchen Pulver was probably the military rifle powder for the 8x57 and was burning a little bit quicker than R 5 powder. kuduae know such things better
