	What are the cartridges in the first picture John Boy? They sure dont look like 8.15X46Rs. Joe.

	Joe, I have no idea what they are. They are the cartridges in the picture that the seller had in the picture that he used to advertise the rifle on the auction site. I doubt that he even had any 8.15x46R loaded rounds because he said the rifle was never shot since it was obtained at the end of WWII

	The last day is the worst. Will it be here on time? I remember tracking a parcel carried by Fedex. It came from the East coast, Salt Lake City then Portland then Seattle, then Port Angeles, then Portland, then Seattle then back to Port Angeles. I finally called the seller and asked him to contact the shipper. Another three days and I had my parcel. It was only a berry steamer. My God, if it had been a nice Aydt rifle it might have killed me. Yeah, the last day is the worst. Joe.

	Quote: How bout some good news John Boy ? Seems like you've abandoned us here. Sorry Joe, thought the post about the diopter covered that it came, anyway ... it came to the FFL on Tuesday, picked it up on Wednesday and was in perfect shape including a soft rifle case. It was wrapped up like a mummy and would have prevented the UPS gorillas from doing any damage. The rifle is complete with the 'normal' diopter, replacement keys and a foresight ramped blade sight. At one time it had a barrel receiver sight based on the slight drag marks on the rail. Bluing is 98+ , the case coloring is 100% and the pictures of the wood tells the story - beautiful. It is a System II and has a proof date of November 1920 (11 20) stamped on the Bohler Special steel barrel. The groove is 312. The block is not stamped with any gunsmiths name, so suspect it was a guild made rifle. Have a 100 cases reformed and rims turned from 30-30's, loaded and ready to shoot next weekend. Am using 316 stop ring bullets Been busy so I haven't taken my own pictures but will and post them.

	The open sight that fits on the rib is shown on the picture of mt Buechel, above. There were special "field" competitions, which used an oval target for these. I also have this scope, made in Wetzler, which fits on the rib and has a special mounting with windage adjustment on it. This is the only one I have ever seen. Fred

	Interesting Fred. Can you post more pictures? Glad to hear the rifle got to you in good shape John Boy. The scope from my slug gun was lost in the mail recently. It wasnt worth much but will be expensive to replace. ,312 bore? .316 bullets? Hmm? Might be okay, I'm using .321s in my .316 Stahl barrel. Does your Aydt #2 fit you properly? Your sight description seems to be an oxymoron. (barrel receiver sight) ? Joe.

	Quote: Does your Aydt #2 fit you properly? Your sight description seems to be an oxymoron. (barrel receiver sight) ? Joe, the cheek piece and length of pull fit perfectly for me to provide an immediate straight sight plane down the barrel when I bring it up to the shoulder. Plus, the balance is excellent. And here are a couple of pictures of the barrel rear sight off a 'Original Syst Tanner' that I want to find and put on the rifle. It is on a rifle owned by a gun crank friend of mine. I may have to opt for a different sight because the claw for the Tanner sight rail diameter is 0.538 and mine has a rail diameter of 0.630 (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	David, isn't this the truth? One has to sit on eBay 52 weeks a year if they are looking for something specific
