Looks like you need a taller ceiling or a lower shelf.

That's his ceiling, sloped. Looks like pine, with a finish on it.

Wow, nice Mauser, Paco. I've got a thing for 7.65 x 53 Mausers, but have not been able to find a Belgian. I've got a number of Argentines, though.

I shoot an '09 Argentine in 7.65 caliber in various matches using handloads with Prvi Partizan brass. Not sure whether PP ammo is available in Belgium. I've found 7.65 x 53 to be a very accurate cartridge.
