Re: Dreyse Zündnadelfüsiliergewehr

because time is a very rare thing and there is allways something special to do this was a sleeper in my gunsafe for a long time but special situation bring it back to the top of the list now .



dont know where it shoot I made a special target, the black dot is 5 cm



first shoot at 25 meter, the original sights are made to hit a man target at 200 or 300 step.
the last owner soft solder a thin higher front sight behind the original as I suspect to shot at 50 meter









after firing - the rest of the paper case. you can remove it with a rod or shoot it out with the next bullet( military practise)





after some try and error at 50 meter I find out whats going on. the front sight was made to shoot at 50 meter on the 100 meter rifle target by set the the black center(in german the "Spiegel") over the sights( in german called "Spiegel aufsitzend")







10 cm thick dry soft pine
thinking it will penetrate a roebuck, dont underestimate a .630 roundball over 75 grains blackpowder






the action after 25-30 cartridges
