Good day to all members.
Here is a photo of the charger clip ( Mannlicher style) of the Mauser commission rifle . Notice the web/link in the extractor groove of the round lying outside the charger clip. There is a web/link on the sides of the round in the extractor groove. Am I correct if I presume these webs/links were there to align the round in the charger clip?
This charger clip worked differently ( Mannlicher) than the later Mauser military charger clips M98 models?

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
