"I like your floor, Lancaster."

thanks, its the marble the 3 silesian wars were fight for
quarry for the kings palace but now in my kitchen

no, I did not steal it

did not shoot the rifle, got it thursday, bluing the small parts on friday, the barreled action will be send for blueing after the easter days. I simply dont have a suitable pot to make the blueing of such large parts here.

have some cartridges for a first test but need a die set. need a 6,5x53R and a 8x58RD die set too so its time ch4d get an order.

my tool maker tig welded over the old caliber engraving and I sand and polished the receiver than. the new caliber engraving was done with a common engraving machine.

as we say here " the blind man dont see it and the stupid dont know it"

first impression

with my 10,75x57

the mauser for a much smaller cartridge weighs 3500 gramm, the Mas 3400 gramm
