Hi, updating the thread with yet another set of pictures of complex yet exquisit Collath internals. This is Collath C1 (12/12) x 9.2x82r shown above. Firing pins are quite interesting to say the least.
C1 Collath is an odd variant of 12 gauge will not function with conventional 12 gauge shells. I was fortunate to have Dewey Vicknair of Vicknair Restorations build a set of sub gauge inserts that actually function with the original extractor system. Aside from that Dewey forged a new firing pin for the rifle as well as replaced a part necessary for elevating the rear rifle site. Excellent work overall. I am very pleased with this Collath and look forward to taking it to the field next season.
