here in Europe the resistance (WWII) use tem also, and convert them to pistol revolver and shotgun ammo, (They first find or made the ammo somewhere and make them the conversion (the hebel have the double lock and it very strong) so dumb gun may be but not if the hebel is the only source you have to fight back.

That is pretty cool, Travis. I would have bought it also, unless my wife was there with me, and even then I’d try to BS it through.

That rear sight resembles one that my brother made for the ancient, rusty Diana springer pellet rifle that our grandfather brought back from Germany during WW2. It worked, as a pile of dead starlings and sparrows back at the farm would confirm. We ran a couple pounds of lead through that thing as kids.

Interesting read (& find)! Thanks for sharing.
Granted the ammo would cost more but…

1) Rechambered & rebored to shoot .22 WMR?

2) Rechambered & rebored to shoot 5.7×28?

Get it bored-out and chamber it in .45LC/.410, there’s plenty of ‘meat’ to do that…
