Not really. The barrel was quite bad, so I couldn't have polished the dents and worst rust out. The cylinder just had the wire wool and oil treatment. As the original finish was so varied, I just aimed to standardize it really.Originally Posted by joffy

Just noticed the barrel screws are on the right side of the rifle?
Are your pics of the refurbished rifle mirrored?
The Heym rifles I have seen had the screws on the left side as did the Weihrauchs.
What size are your dovetail for the rearsight, maybe I have one that fits, but dont get your hopes up yet.

Hi Frank, no the barrel screws are on the right. There's a lot that confuses me as I looked at the photo library in VAGF and whilst there are so many similarities to the library images, this has a few differences. The dovetail width was 8mm x 3.8mm dp. Total width across the breech block 14.8mm@CapitalBee
