From what I know, that type mark was put on the left side rail. I have a 1893 Spandau so marked with a W . Most of them are Danzig though. This is a very good forum on these rifles and you'll find the armory referbish info on it.. ...

Sorry, your right. I confused myself. Dutchman, I have 3 actions with out the '05 modification and 4 with it, Plus a 1935 Turk version. None of them have a mark in that location. The '05 conversion covers 2/3's of that area but, still enough...

Larry's pysco babbling will not change the facts. I offered a load in a 8x57 thread, Larry and others swore that it was dangerous, Larry tested the exact load and found that it was indeed a low pressure SAFE load with NO pressure spikes what so...

Larry says, "No frank, from your own description of how you damaged your rifle you didn't use the filler the way I suggested." Please tell me what I said, word for word, Larry. I can guarenty you that you can not! So you think Mike V. is miss...

Please read the #4 Cast Bullet Handbook on page 43 and see what BOTH Lyman AND Mike Venturino say about FILLERS mentioning Dacron directly, as well as other fillers. My purpose here is to inform you that fillers can be dangerous and that even...

That's a very nice looking rifle. I have a few of them and like them very much. Mine all have grooves + - .0005 of .3205 and I use mostly 32 caliber bullets in them. Mine have shot very high at 100 and 200 yards so, I bought a few shorter front...

Molds to look for on Ebay or other places are, 316475, cast GC, .318 by Lymans info as are the below sizes, cast in Lyman #2 alloy 319295, .320, GC, a excellent bullet for your application 319247, .320 pb 321297 & 321297U, .323, .321, GC...

One thing that I never hear on these "filler" threads is about the warning in Lymans (lastest) #4 cast bullet Handbook. They seem to think that it can be dangerous to put anything but powder and a bullet inside a cartridge case. Frank

I have a few GEW 88's but, I had been wanting a KAR 88 for a long time and found this on Gun Broker last year. This is diffinately a American conversion and is chambered in 300 Savage with possibly a 4 groove '03 barrel. Who ever did it put a...

250 GR. CAST LRNFP Winchester 231 .452" 1.600" 7.1 gr, 916 fps, 13,900 CUP I believe this load to be the Winchester factory load of old as it was listed in the old Winchester loading manuals. It was very accurate in my 625 and my Rossi. Frank

I can't be of help to you other than to tell you that Hodgdon has jacketed loading info in their Annual Manual starting in at least 2008. That's quite a rifle and project you have. I always wanted to buy one of those back in the late 60's. The...

"If the accuracy of your Ruger suffers, it may be because of tight cylinder throats and/or a "thread constriction" at the barrel where it threads into the frame. Many older Ruger .45s are notorious for tight dimensions in those two areas, seems like...

H110/296 should do well in the Max. I've used WC820 as one of my PB & gc powders and it's a little faster. The load for it was also 14.0 gr and produced a 5 shot 1" group @ 100 in my rifle a Win Low Wall. I also produced some almost, amazing...

35875 PB, 208 gr. 14 gr 4227 in anything. 358315 GC, 208 gr, 25 gr RL 7 in my Dan Wesson. Max load start -2.0 gr Both very accurate. Frank

This is the only book that I know of on the 1888 Commision Rifle http://www.ebay.com/itm/Collectors-Guide-to-the-German-Gew-88-Commission-Rifle-/290354862686?pt=US_Nonfiction_Book&hash=item439a7f9a5e#ht_905wt_892 I don't have one and haven't...
