Hi!

The bullets shown is Norwegian made cald "rødfis"= Redfarts
We use them in stead of what the rest of the world use; blancks. This system is realy crappy, and the weapon often jam (happens all the time!)

Cheers

Very nice, Bill. That's a tough rifle to find all matching. Mine has a mismatched bolt as seems to quite common. I bought one before that was described as all matching. Everything was, but the rear sight.
