The germans adopted .323" S patronen in 1903. The only arsenal not to go .323 S patronen in 1903 completely was Amberg as they literally just started to make gew98's in 1903 off of old specs ( It was...

I've pulled up to 750's with a rope on some 600' runs. Gobs of lube and thankfully few bends. Just have to know what you are dealing with. I saw a fella one day cut the manufactured head off a high...

I've put up several hundred of those LED 4' lights...they are awesome...just that they are very expensive. Never had any leftovers or I'd have them instead over the T8's for sure.
