Re: Anyone have a Zi-Di 22hornet?

That is beautiful work on that action and despite your protestations the photographs are equally well done .
I am looking for someone to upload my photographs so please be patient .
Some differences for my rifle : I removed the military style trigger guard and replaced it with a shotgun guard as i have seen on some Anschutz and Brno 21 rifles .
I also kept the original integrated top slide on base . You seem to have removed ..what? I can't see how much has been removed with my 70+ year old eyes but you seem to have rounded the top of the action .
Are you going to keep the original chambering?
I have heard of some of these rifles in 25 Remington .
Is 5.6x35R brass still available in Europe ?
I look forward to see more of this project . My refurbishment is looking very modest already .

I prefer to keep the original floorplate which corresponds better to a single trigger, especially having made a trigger that fits more back in the guard.
In Europe shotgun type guards are used more for double set triggers (see pre-war M-s productions).
The Zi-Di system was produced with several receiver variations and not all of them have the standard 11mm rail. The one in the photo was plain and wore a soft soldered rear claw mount base.
I have finished profiling the new barrel machined from an L-W match quality blank and chambered for the .22 Hornet.
I will try to take some photos.
My goal is to build a sister rifle to our previous man sized rimfire made on a much modified pre-war Mauser .22lr repeater action.
I look forward to your pictures.
