Oh no, color choices.

Something crazy might happen.


Thanks for the link!

Another model 98 8mm followed me home today. I love German rifles this is a late WWII byf44 all matching numbers.

My Jie Biden panic buying consists of 2 Shield Arms Glock 43X flush fit 15 round mags. Showed up yesterday and they seem to work well. It’s going to be awhile before I put some rounds through them due to all snow on the ground. Ordered 1 more and the metal mag release.

I think it’s the most I have ever paid for a magazine in a modern pistol or rifle for that matter. For $39 each they better run good and last a long time.

Panic buying over.

Nice. Seems to be in fairly good shape overall. Eyeballing the buttplate where it meets the stock, looks like it has been sanded pretty aggressively, but I am by no means a K98 expert. Did you get it from a show or a shop? (And, if you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for it?)

Newest addition to the stable, purchased locally. A double treat, appeasing both of my addictions: .32*s and German police pistols. An FN 1910/22 in 7.65 Browning, purchased in 1951 by the police in the American Sector in West Berlin. With original holster. Beautiful piece. Now my poor 1945 A-prefix will have to play second fiddle.

Gonzo - that is awesome

The wood is chipped off in that area and the band spring is broken but otherwise it's pretty nice overall. I got it from a retired buddy of mine I traded a Taurus thunderbolt 45LC for it.

Thanks. That seems like a very advantageous trade for you unless I am severely underestimating the current market value of a used Taurus pump action.

The Taurus has been out of production for sometime now and they are sought after by Taurus and pump/lever gun collectors. Some people pay a high premium for them even though they had a less the stellar reputation.

Good for him and good for Ed which is all that really matters in a trade/
