My LGS called me saying he got some gun parts in along with some "distressed" Krags. I showed-up, bought some parts and was offered this 1952 vintage .25 Astra 200 Firecat.
It's based on the FN-1906. It's a internal hammer-gun and not striker fired. It has three safeties, lever, grip, and mag along with a loaded chamber indicator. Very safe. Anyway $140.00 later for parts, gun, and a box of ammo away I went. I picked-up a old Redfield no drill receiver sight for a Krag and that just might pay for the whole shebang.

Nice. Star and Astra were very underrated IMO. The examples with wartime date-codes bring good money as they were very popular with German officers. They bought them on their own hook but as far as I know none were German proofed. There were even factory engraved 200s.
