Ernesto,

My Congratulations on such a beautiful rifle, thanks to you for posting it, and my apologies for not having checked my mail for a couple of days. I must thank Lancaster for posting the pics here as well.

This is a very beautiful rifle, and you are both lucky and a man of fine taste for keeping her. Just a question - is the x63 case derived from the 30-06? After all, IIRC, some aspects of the Springfield design were licensed from Mauser and the US government did pay the Germans a license fee until WW-1. That is why I am wondering . . .

Thanks again and good hunting!
