| I acquired one from an in-law a few years ago. Anything I need to know about it? Also, any idea where I can find a spare mag? Thanks. |

I bought one at Fort Bragg around 86 or so. I still have it but my brother in law is currently burrowing since I've been pretty much overseas so much. I have to use smart movements with the bolt to eject the empty cases with mine. If I use slow and deliebrate movements (baby) with the bolt the spent round will stay in the feed area. Its fun to shoot since I have some K98s. CB caps are bearly audioble through that long barrel. For spare mags check Numich , SARCO , or Tom Forrest, Inc. I got three with mine and sometimes can't seem to find them at the time. They fit very well inside my jeans watch pocket. By the way great jackrabbit rifle. CD |
| The only contact I have had with the rifles was at a Boy Scout camp last year. I really liked it, reminded me of a K98 but with a neat tangent peep sight on the rear ring. Seemed to be very robust. The one I shot tore a ragged hole in the center on the target and impressed all the other leaders. I went and added it to my list of "get someday" guns (though that is a rather long list. Probably not the best pure target gun but a nice plinker especially if you like old military rifles (and don't mind that it's French). |
