Fired 198 rounds from ASTRA 900

The gun has mismatched bolt and bolt stop, and the magazine follower is unnumbered. Otherwise, it's matching. The bore is very good.

Comparing with Mauser small rings (I have never fired any CH nor LRH), 10-round distribution of this Astra 900 on target paper was bigger. It's an indoor range, only 10 yards. Shooting off hand gave a group of palm size. With stock attached, the performance improved dramatically, it's easy to punch 10 holes on the center black pie (5 cm diameter). The feeling of trigger pull on Astra is better than that of Mauser's.

It's interesting to notice that many Astra 900 instances imported from China (this one is not) have Mauser sight slide and button installed. Probably the original Astra sight assembly on those guns were weak and broken, it's hard to find Astra parts, so Mauser parts were used..... this one's sight assembly is original, and it's weak.
