XAUSA,

Thanks so much for the help. I have access to a mill and lathe and may be forced to dust them off and get them warmed up but I thought if I could find what I needed it would be a bit easier.

The bores are excellent and I have a 22mag (by Krieghoff) insert for the right barrel as well. The gun actually look better in person than in my lousy photos. Barrels are 23 1/2 inches long.

I was able to get into the gun along with 6 boxes of Seller/Bellot 8x57jr ammo (that I am starting to pull the smaller bullets and reseat .323 spitzer bullets) for about $3,000. I don't know if this is high or not but it was one of those things I couldn't walk away from. I also have a Simson Drilling in 16x16x7mmR that came with a Kahles 6X (I beleive) scope in claw mounts for about the same $$ it is a bit newer (1984 I think and was made in GDR, East Germany, about 2 years prior to the wall coming down). This one is in about 99%+. It is my understanding that during this time frame they were actually made by Merkel and marked Simson.

I have been slowly weeding out my other guns and moving into drillings. I am finding they are a bit of an obsession

Thanks for any help you can offer....

Sincerely,
DonT
