Had to work to get the stock back in shape as it was cracked pretty bad and had a hunk cut out of the left side for an impromptu scope mount. She had a steady diet of SL53 AP and Tracer I stripped from a BMG belt. Ammo shot well, had 1 dud and about 3-4 tiny hangfires out of the ~100 I shot. Now all I need is some Hadji to stick his head up somewhere from 800yds on in.... Last Edited By: Stan Pa 09/30/07 11:54 PM. Edited 1 time.

Life is the crummiest book I ever read, there isn't a hook; Just a lot of cheap shots, pictures to shock, and characters an amateur would never dream up...

Barrel on it is in great shape compared to most of the Mausers I've seen out here. Nice tight muzzle and bright shiney bore.

SN and barrel date? I imagine it would be a lot of fun over there if not for all the people that want to harm a US soldier. Stay safe!

Watch out - the Army will be advertising for Krags and TDs next!!

Mostly SA parts including stock but trigger/bolt are "R" parts. Has two proof marks on the wrist. No cartouche on the side though.... ammo is all SL53 belted 4AP-1TR. In some other intersting news....related to the fun factor..... The 80's band "Poison" will be here on Saturday. So let me see....Saturday on the range with my '03 and FAL PARA...get done with that and head over to the concert with one of my old favorite bands and a coupla non-alky Coors..... man...it just don't get any better than this.......
