It looks a very nice rifle.

Don't know as of yet but I'd bet on the .318 x 57.

I have its twin, down to the Lyman 36...I think that's the right Lyman #. Stripper clips are available, original and reproduction but, I don't remember where I got mine. The originals, when you can find them, are terribly expensive. Reproductions are readily available and not expensive. On the reproductions you have to peen or grind I believe the leading edge or they won't work. I was told that by Axel Eichendorf and he was right.

Mine shoots quite well and is a rifle I thoroughly enjoy. It is .318 groove. I worked up a cast load and am quite happy. I also have one in 9 X 57 that is a Haenel-Rasch that is just as pleasant a rifle and has a different magazine.

Mike,

Very nice acquisition. I will be looking forward to watching your YouTube report on shooting your new addition.
