Here's some 10m rigid barrel match rifle stocks from over the years: one from the mid 1950's, one from late 50's-early 60's, one from late 60's, and one from late 70's. The checkering disappears, the wrists get more vertical, the triggers and sights keep getting better, they look less like a...

Two of the symbols are for the Latin letters "w" and "h".

I have the same issue with a D65. It's very accurate, but sounds as if there is sand in the gun! Is this normal? What pictures would show this?

This may be a dumb question, but...if you take the barrel off the gun, how do you know when the barrel has been bent up or down without putting it back on the action to test? Seems like a lot of work to just keep putting it on and taking it off just to test if you have "bent it enough"?

If you like 10 m guns you better think carefully before you get a Giss gun; once you use the Giss, you will never shoot those others again. I feel sorry for my HW55 and the FWB's, just sitting in the closet by their lonesome selves...:)

Diana 75, pre T01, dated 1978. This is a BKA contract gun, stamped BEFORE blueing as a government contract item, and later sold by Dumbeck presumably after disposal as surplus. F A Dumbeck is stamped AFTER blue, and less neatly maybe by hand? Waffen Dumbeck still exists in Munster where the gun...
