FINALLY got this baby out to the range. She's all matching serial numbers including the wood, and the stock and metal is like brand-new mint. A beauty!

Shoots good, too!
I first did 10 rounds at 100 yards to get the sight picture, knowing it would shoot high. Actually, it was surprisingly close on the elevation, but impacting about 2.5inches right of center. So then out to 200 yards; that's the target shown below. Two sighting shots, with my sight picture hold as adjusted from the 100-yard rounds, were just above the black and slightly right, not shown here. So, holding even lower and well to the left, I squeezed off a full magazine of five rounds. Here is the result:

Anxious to try some reloads now that my Privi Partizan is running low. The brass looks good, so I wonder how it will hold up after several firings?
