My MAUSER K98!

[froggy]

Re-

Finding a good K98 in the UK at "honnest price" is indeed very very hard ...
As finding a real sniper for 2K will sadly be nearly impossible unless you have a uber spot of good luck

I have one of these on my shopping list, will be getting a scoped one if possible but looking at £1500-£2000 probably and I just bought an AKM not long ago.

Have you looked at C&G Firearms. Chris has some made up ones and the optics on the period scopes are out of this world for clarity! They really are super clear!

It is a lot of money to spend on these old girls but I can't see them getting cheaper at all. Prices are getting stronger!

Very nice K98 Martin you did a :goodjob: with the wood, should be a load of fun to shoot.

Yes he's a good friend of mine, I had my eye on one last year but couldn't come up with the money at the time, my mosin nagant sniper came from him.

Ah. Chris is nice bloke and very helpful. Funny enough that's where I bought my Mosin PU from and he helped out with my G98!

Very nice looking k98 there Martin-glad you now have a use for all the brass and stripper clips I sent you
Taking my CE44 out for a blast tomorrow which should be fun (if the rain stops)
Me and a friend are having a bit of a friendly pre 1945 service rifle comp and only allowed to use mil-surp ammo-just found out that he is using a mint k31 and GP11 ammo thou. I think I will be buying the beers!
ps. If you want any more brass or stripper clips give me a shout, I am sure I could dig around and find some more.

Hello,
Yes, full wet weather gear is a definite for the morning. I have shot it out to 800 yards at Barton Road and was doing ok (until the LSR mount became a bit loose emrolleyes) but usually up to 600 on paper and 900 ish on fig.11's with 55 Yugo surplus. Fig 11's tomorrow At least if we are allowed to use tracer we wont be setting fire to the scrub.

Sounds perfect :goodjob:

I need to get some surplus at Bisley end of the month! Enjoy the shoot and if we see a Green Goddess at any point, putting out a scrubland fire I'll be thinking of you but I don't think that will happen me thinks!
