Is that a short 22cm barrel insert? Funny it fits in the stock.

Yes, exactly.

That very special kind of storing once was patented - a long time ago.

Quite a beautiful gun.

Don´t overestimate the power of the short barrel!

I have the 44cm version and the fox bellows to prove the power of .22 WinMag I would never overestimate its power, rather will it be underestimated...

Äh … was meinst Du mit „The Fox bellows“ ?


So richtisches Inglisch ist that not!

I break together!

But now straight come I behind it -
Der Fuchsbalg = the foxbellows - vielleicht das, womit man eine matt schwelende Lunte zur heissen Glut bringt?

 

[Skaubjonn]

Yes it is a 22cm Einstecklauff in 22mag. The tool for mounting it is also there

 

[Skaubjonn]

I am grateful that you guys reply in English, in a German forum. The semantics are not important.

 

[Nieselregen]

But I just don‘t understand what he wants to say

Google Translator hit that fore. Fuchsbalg! I assumed "fur" may not be the right wording, but maybe it's easier tu underschtand.

Back to topic: was it state of the art to mount the Einstecklauf "in the field" when needed? Is it "drop-in"? I really can't see that it holds precision like that even with markings on barrel and Drilling to align them.

 

[Skaubjonn]

@Beowulf80, I have yet to shoot it, so I don’t know if it gets back to zero when it is put back into the barrel. I know that it is a painstakingly slow process to get it shooting straight.

 

[Stomberger]

The force of the fastenerscrew ist the way to get it working.

Ich habe mit so etwas nie geschossen, aber ich weiß von Älteren, dass man den Einstecklauf beim Einschießen zur Justage entnehmen und an den Schrauben verstellen muss, bis die Treffpunktlage passt.

Danach kann man den Einstecklauf jederzeit verwenden und die Treffpunktlage bleibt stabil.

I never used such a Short Insertbarrel but I was told by old hunters how it works. You need to adjust the screws on the Short Inserbarrel until the bullet will hit the rigt place. You need to take the Insertbarrel out of the gun to adjust these screws and then put it into the drilling again.

Once adjusted the short insertbarrel will hold zero and can be used at every time.

I hope my english is not too bad.

This kind of short insertbarrel once was very common and its really a kind of art. The Krieghoff Drilling with the special storage compartment is possibly the most iconic iteration of this art.
