I’ll take one only if FredC can get the price point down a lot from the current $30,000.00- 40,000.00. Hey, how about Uberti, they’ll make anything. WW1 reenactors would love it except the Pedersen assault never happened. Duh. And I finally read what the spring and plunger were for on the spindle, to keep pressure on the ejector to prevent it from binding up the PD when it was removed from the rifle. Nice pictures.

Had an aha! moment and figured the cutoff spindle out. It uses a spring and plunger to keep pressure on the ejector so the ejector doesn’t interfere with removing the PD. That end of the spindle is hollow and as such can’t have a piece milled out all the way around for the cutoff lock screw to lock into like the later solid spindles so there’s a simple hole for the screw. The slot on the end is simply there to orient it as the hole and slot are aligned. Brilliant, [the design-not me].
