An Oddball Shooter? Or Rarity (Not)

Ken, If your front sight is not perpendicular to the axis of the barrel, this sounds like a sloopy rebarreling job and definately not done by the factory. Is the barrel proofed? If the groove for the extractor at the breech end, is properly alined, it's possible that the whole barrel was twisted in rebarreling, and not useable. Years ago, before I had the proper tools and technic, I can recall removing a shot out 7.65x98mm barrel, that twisted 90 degrees, before it released. Tom
