Thanks Mehul but what or who is Quinnox?

I am going to be out of station from 21st Dec. to 2nd Jan. I will order Speed's Original Mauser and Olson's Mauser Bolt Rifles, to start with, after I return.

I am taking it to a friend's place to test. He is an experienced shot and has exceptionally good eye sight.

Incidentally, what I mistook for pitting turned out to be a false alarm. Yesterday morning I switched to Sweets 7.62 and the bore came out clean as a whistle after the fourth application. I added two more applications just to be on the safe side. I will be testing it with Winchester Super X and S&B. Both are 180 grain rounds. Couldn't get the Federal cartridges to test. I will post the results here later in the day.

Take care.

P.S.: I did post a few pics of the ZP49 in the shotgun section. I think this was earlier in the year.
