Isn't 6 mm a bit large for parlor shooting?  I thought most were in the 4.0 to 4.5 mm range.   I'm going to watch this one...  Dave

I wish I'd known about that source previously! Thanks for the link! I've passed up any of those Zimmers due to thinking no ammo was available.

Hello, everyone.  Years ago, I bought a nice zimmmerschuetzen.  Sorry, away from notes & can't recall maker. This has the lever for seating round ball seperate from copper case.
  I too worried about my small supply of cases that were included with rifle purchase..I wasn't worried about the balls..at the time, Beeman was selling them for airguns.
    Not wanting to permanently alter the rifle, I turned up a tool-steel nipple for a very light press-fit in ctg. chamber..this was hardened & tempered for wear.
  I now can use non-corrosive CCI No.11 percussion caps.
    These things are scary accurate!  from a rest, it will pile those little .17 balls on top of one another across a room!

I noticed the diopter was gone--or at least not in the photo. If this was rebarreled, could a clever smith have chambered it to take a "BB cap?" The seller says he/she has "ammo" but, sadly, doesn't show any in a photo. Might answer a question or two.
