just an update talked to some guys on a forum devoted to 88's and they talked me into just firing the rifle and seeing how it did they said they were military surplus made strong enough to take it if the headspace is off a bit...shot 5 rounds out of the gun, with the old pull the trigger with a string method lol and gun opperated perfectly.
