Hi from Canada,
I just bought an Omark 44 Australian target rifle. I haven't fired it yet but I loved the look of it and had to buy it as soon as i saw it.
I used to shoot competition target many years ago and thought I would like to take up the sport again, with this rifle.
I need some help though. I can find very little information on this gun and so started playing with it, measuring barrel length, twist etc.
I decided to check the firing pin and so with bolt removed rotated the rear of the bolt so that the firing pin is exposed. But now I can't recock the bolt
which I need to do in order to get the bolt back in the gun. (dumb, I know!!).
I have been able to do this easily with my old Lee Enfield, but in the case of the Omark the piece that has to be moved back and into its recess is very small.
Does anybody know of a way to do this without causing any damage. If so please help me.
One more question. With older rifles I usually reload my own ammunition using fairly light loads. Will this gun be able to handle military issue ammunition?
It is chamber pressure that I am thinking about.
Thanks.
