Thanks

That's a very cool and interesting rifle, thanks for posting some pics of it. I wonder what changes were made to the gas system for the 8x33 cartridge.

I just noticed the wear on the scope rail, looks like they tested it with a Kurz Patr. ZF4 as well! I bet that would be a fun shooter!

I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't need much. It was over-gassed to start with. I've never tried to see how little powder I could move a G/K action with, but just based on how it works with some of my cheapskate 8mm loads and a very constricted selection on the shooter's kit I wouldn't be surprised if it ran fine as is.

What powder do you usually use for your G/K43 rifles?

varget. It’s a good general purpose powder that I can use in a ton of calibers and cut down the number of powders I’m using. Not the best rifle powder but a great all arounder.
