Here’s a rare old beast; a Thieme & Schlegelmilch drilling with exposed hammers, their patented nasenverschluss (sp?) system, and a pop-up tang sight with the tiniest dovetails I’ve ever seen. In a rare configuration of 12/12/8x57R/360. Not in the greatest shape, for sure. The lock-up was loose, so a new hinge pin was installed (reamed as well), so it locks up really tight now. However, the action was scratched while filing the ends of the pin. The bores are not in good shape at all, but can be shot. I’ve shot the rifled barrel (I found original ammo!); it seemed like it could shoot. The proper diameter bullets for this is .318, but the bore is worn enough and the neck generous enough to use .323”. I will include a part box of older Norma 150 grain round nose bullets, and a shell holder that fits the brass. 9.3x72R necked down and shortened will work. Nitro proofed and proofed for steel jacketed bullets, I should add.
