Hello,

I've not done an all-original article in a while, and I miss it. I hope you find it helpful.

If you have trouble viewing this, you may see it at http://smith-sights.com/tech-look-gew88 .

There are multiple JPEGs below and one large JPEG at the link. You may right-click-save-as if you find this guide helpful.

Very neat post, and thank you for sharing! I enjoy these sort of deep-dives into firearms. Smile

A collector friend of mine just bought one of these. We took it out to the range and I was detonating 8 inch pumpkins at 100 yards with ease. Great rifle.

Question; his seems to be missing the ejector. From what I gather this is fairly common. He has found a few blog posts on how to DIY your own. Any insight would be most helpful.

Great post, thank you.

I collected military weapons for years and sold them all shortly before I retired. Didn't expect to live so long after my retirement or I might have waited a few years to sell them.

Anyway, I had several of these 88s and constantly upgraded them if I got the chance. The last one was quite nice and I shot it with very light cast bullet loads.

Thank you. Good stuff.
