I never met Fred Breitwiser. I wasn't really into Mausers except for some Swedes, but I got them from International.
I did have a few CZs. I never got around to fixing them up. I think you got one though !
Did you pull your VZ out of a barrel? 🙂
I can't remember. I do remember that it was the second one I got from him. Took the first one to Earl Leach, and he drilled and tapped it, altered the bolt handle, rechambered it to 8mm-06 Improved, and made a set of dies for it, all in one afternoon while I watched. Those were the days, my friend. Any of you guys know Earl?
That was quite a rifle, death on wheels with the old Herters 225 gr round nose bullets. Sold it to a friend of mine when I left Kirkland Lake and headed West. Have lost track of Jim, but the rifle is probably still killing moose and bear.
