Did anyone else think the Greek rifle was rough loading? Looked as if he was having a little trouble running the bolt.

I forwarded a link to him about the importance of feeding cartridges of proper length and bullet profile to the Schoenauer magazine. I suspect his are a bit short or narrow near the tip, allowing them to shift and drag on the feed ramp.

Video of someone shooting a 'Greek' 1903 that's in really nice condition. The 'slow - mo' at 02:04 approaches 'gun porn' : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcCeZmw-z7g&t=148s

So that is what my Greek 1903 looked like before someone chopped it. With mine to look more like a stutzen. I like the real stutzens a lot, but for the Greek 1903 almost prefer them with the long barrel and full wood.
