Bill I to own a 1920 carbine that I never fired. I'm looking foward to You making her give up her vaginity. What kind of ammo are you going to use?

Hello Gents,

Thank you all for your kind comments.

The leather case with brass corners must have been contracted out by Mauser. I'll snoop around the nooks and crannies of it to see if I can find a manufacturer's mark.

As for ammo, I've bought 150 rounds of Fiocchi 124 grain copper jacket. I know that the originals required a higher-power bullet to cycle the toggle on such a long barrel, but I'm hoping that Fiocchi will see me through.

Small world, as a good friend of mine just retired to Port St. Lucie. He's still getting used to the alligators out his back yard!

I'll let you know the score (no pun intended) when I get her through the paces at the gun club. Thanks for the tip on Mecgar mags.

Cheers for now,

Bill
