Condolences on that apparent loss too, Tc. They do come along, just not often.
100% with you richj! I'd not wish that receiver D&T either. I've only one D&T. 8mm, well used/lightly abused. But for a price... ! My earliest example in a short, handy rifle, '47 dated, 13K Sn and yet with functional clip guides! That as bolt without rib nor under bridge female slot. Believe there were yet a lot of wartime surplus components, such influence reflected here! The action is quite smooth and tolerances sufficiently tight, guide rib not missed. Pix below. Best & thanks for the great Brno gab here! John
