By the way, the Ajack Scope serial number is 51703 & it has a »+« noting a Military variant. There are holes with set screws in the tube which are for cold grease. And then there are 2 additional holes in the rear of the scope to drain water in the event of a downpour. But I wouldn't think a Lad - Lady Sunday Hunter would be out in foul weather?

Carcano, I much appreciate your interest in Carinthian history including the struggle of the Slovenian minority against the German speaking majority. When I was writing my recent book on Ferlach Gunmaking (Borovška Puškarija, 2023) this struggle came up all the time in historical sources I consulted; I tried to keep it down and not letting it compromise the mainstream story. But as much as I try to look upon it as a matter of past, the Austrian Police raid on a Slovenian Anti-Nazi Museum (Peršman, Peršmanhof) in the Carinthian mountains near Eisenkappel/Železna Kapla not far from Ferlach/Borovlje just a month ago reminds me that, sadly, this seems to be an ongoing struggle. With kind regards, Jani https://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=49326&Number=627384

Raimey,
The 6.8 on the barrel, for what you called the "final pass" would be .268"minus, so it is likely you won't need to resize .264" bullets, you should slug the barrel. It would be a good idea to keep your eyes open for any 6x70 Kreighoff cases you can find.

Thanks Ford. I saw another Borovlje drillilng & the stamp for some reason was »6.88«, but I assume the 2nd 8 was errant? I put some feelers out just this morning for anything associated w/ 6,5 & 6X70R....

Well, the Ferlacher stamped »6.88« was actually a Sigott Cape ![[Linked Image from thumbs2.imgbox.com]](https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/49/ef/Ulrtnm0C_t.png) Being a 2 Barrel Set...... And almost all these „Bleistiftpatrone = Pencil Cartridge“ chamberings seem to date between the mid 1920s to the mid 1930s(1928-1933)?? ![[Linked Image from thumbs2.imgbox.com]](https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/a8/f5/XZxR9LUg_t.jpg) ![[Linked Image from thumbs2.imgbox.com]](https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/6c/c3/VzaUaJJ8_t.jpg) Another Borovlje Biksarica / Cape Gun Lep Pozdrav, Raimey rse

Ford, it appears that after sluggin' the bore twice the diameter is 0.265"-0.266", more or less. So would there be an issue w/ the 130 grain cast lead bullets w/ a gas check that came w/ the gun?

![[Linked Image from thumbs2.imgbox.com]](https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/d7/70/gJWwKnqx_t.jpg) I forgot to note it has Bushed & Diskset Stikers(„Von vorne herausnehmbare verschraubte Schlagbolzen“)on all tubes. Lep Pozdrav, Raimey rse

And I forgot to mention the tubeset length which is 66 cm or 26". LOP is 34 cm; a bit short, but it is what it is.

Raimey,
With that groove diameter, the bullets that came with the ammo would not be an "issue" at all. More importantly, you will not need to resize modern 6.5mm jacketed bullets. If you run across loading data recommending using .257" bullets, ignore that part. That is lucky for you, you will have enough trouble with cases.

Ford:
I have the cases, I just to not wish to sacrifice even one....
The 20 bore chambers are 65mm and have not been altered.
To recap & refresh, can you elaborate on the Austrian bore measurement, which resulted in a stamp of »6.8«.
Who how & where did the Austrians measure??? So if you have an Austrian stamp of 6.8mm, and assuming it is accurate, would you ever expect the diameter of a slug to be 0.257" after sluggin' the bore?
And how & where did the Germans measure.....
Lep Pozdrav,
Raimey
