"Review of the Mauser series of Rifles Part 1" Iraqveteran8888

[fuckncoons01]

Hello i was recently given a Venezuelan Model 24/30 Short Rifle 7mm. I had some question on vaule and the rareness of it. Any thing would help! Thanks D.

[MrStuffdude]

Would your recommend a Mosin, a Mauser or an Enfield? or any other similar rifle?? Im also trying to be cost efficient with best quality in mind.

Thank you great video :D

[Solingen1000]

@MrStuffdude mosin...more ammo..cheap

[MrStuffdude]

@Solingen1000 Thankyou!

[dantheman7624]

Dont forget the 98 Mauser is a cock on open design insted of a cock on close design.

[nick21sammy]

on the note with the 1903 Springfield. the US government got sued by mauser and had to pay royalties to the companie right up until the m1903 was no longer produced

[scottpd1404]

I bought Two of the M-48 models, when they were like 125.00. Love to shoot them!

[1ace1966]

Hello. Great videos. I have to however point out that I didn't hear you mention anything about the most important difference in the rifles used during the Spanish American War. I remember reading somewhere that the most important advantage was of the smokeless powder. Just my 2 cents worth.

[TaZ101SAGA]

@smokybob63 watch?v=dS9Cc0JKpvk

[nick21sammy]

@smokybob63 what do you mean? you took the bolt out with the safety on fire mode?!!! good luck putting that together again. it needs to be in the upright position while dismateling. ALWAYS!!!!

[smokybob63]

@nick21sammy no i took the bolt out and then like an idiot started playing with and twisted the bolt so it was in the fired position. But i got it fixed pretty quickly.

[nick21sammy]

@smokybob63 another reason why i dont let idiots near my guns :D

[McCawley07]

Great videos Iraqveteran8888!! They are such a great help. I'm in the process of refinishing my 41 mauser. I know its gonna look great! Thanks!

[McCawley07]

They also used Kr for Kar/Karabiner.

[toddbunn]

I finally got some ammo for my vz 24- I went to one of the local shops and he had 3 boxes on the shelf--the original boxes from 1938  with 2 stripper clips with 10 rounds--I thought cheap at $5 a box. what do you think cheap or not?

[garandfan12]

i love my yugo m48 masuer, its really accurate practically brand new for $275

[MrTomstatube]

Hey does anyone know a good place to purchase one of these rifles? I am looking for a RC mauser.

[Oddball941]

i have a 1893 argentine mauser and have no idea what it shoots or anything could someone message me back please?

[garandfan12]

@Oddball941 its either 8mm Mauser, 7.65 Argentine, or 8x57mm

[NeedWarForPeace]

i hav a 7.65 mauser that i know nothing about and it has peep sights. any info on this one??

[NALWA]

Are these Mausers are still in production ?

[CrystalHunter1989]

I with Mauser's and the ammo were as cheap as the Mosins or I would have bought them instead.

[TaZ101SAGA]

Thinking of picking up a Kar98k tomarrow.

[gunsnglory4zday]

great vid.i have a '91 argentine and its a awesome rifle and has a sweet bolt.very smooth.7.65 is a hard hitting round too.hopefully i can get a k98 at some point.anyways great vid:)

[TheKyleGibbs]

Well where is the Czech vz. 24 Mauser. Surely that is more popular than the Yugo.

[TaZ101SAGA]

Where is the receiver cutout for the headspace on the Mauser?

[brtshstel]

Do you have any advice on how to find the full-length Kar98b?

[NightHowl92]

I have a bare stock I believe it is a M48a , i was wondering how hard it would be to rebuild It for use

[RoninHale]

I have what looks like a Kar98k.....but it has a straight bolt....its a 1937, and the crest is too worn to make out so I dont know the make. It has a very dark stock and the front barrel sleeve has a pin that pushes all the way through the stock to keep it in place instead of the spring clip that typically keeps the metal collars in place. Anyone have any Info on this for me?

[TheBobafett13]

@RoninHale it sounds like a vz-24 made by czechslovakia

[RoninHale]

@TheBobafett13 Well I recently discovered two swatstikas engraved on it, one hidden underneath the rear sight, and one hidden on the inside of the magazine floor plate. That change your opinion?

[TheKyleGibbs]

@RoninHale It very well could be a vz. 24 or a Czech Mauser, Google some images of the vz. 24 and see if its the same

[aaronzack14]

did you now that the moison nagant was produced in

misuory(no spell check) by the russians.?

[Danogil]

the double stack and control feed was on the 1895 Chilean model also.

this was a 7mm x 57mm

[cllofts]

how much do they go for

[FrankieJames7]

mosin nagant way better

[71SuperSportChevelle]

@FrankieJames7 That is a pretty close argument, personally I would have to go with the Kar98 on personal preference :). But I have shot a Mosin and I enjoyed it, very reliable sturdy rifle, accurate too suprisingly for a Russian made weapon.

[FrankieJames7]

@71SuperSportChevelle yeah thank you for not being a dick like i am. i just went shooting to. i like the mosin nagant because i live in alaska and almost the same temps as russia

[71SuperSportChevelle]

@FrankieJames7 Lol what does that have to do with the rifles? I think anything German made> Russian made.

[FrankieJames7]

@71SuperSportChevelle ok never mind your just a nazi

[71SuperSportChevelle]

@FrankieJames7 Lol not a Nazi at all, just know what better quality is.

[FrankieJames7]

@71SuperSportChevelle then buy a savage or even an anchutz. pre 1950 guns dont have "Quality"

[71SuperSportChevelle]

@FrankieJames7 I wasn't only speaking about pre 1950's guns, and I would say all guns have "quality" lol everything has quality... Some good, some bad.

[FrankieJames7]

@71SuperSportChevelle mosin nagant has the better reputation unless your a german or a nazi. and the mosin nagant is more sucsessful because it won the war

[71SuperSportChevelle]

@FrankieJames7 I don't think it has a better reputation I think that is just your opinion, and stop calling people nazis when I am not as I have repeated, that would be like me just saying your a communist pussy over and over again now wouldn't it?

[71SuperSportChevelle]

@71SuperSportChevelle And why do you think Nazi Germany is so evil for killing Russians, if you hated anyone for killing Russians it should be the Russians themselves, they are pretty good at slaughtering their own people, I would take Hitler over Stalin anyday.

[kekuu7]

As I am Argentinian, in the shootin' ranges, before u can shoot, you must show your skills in a test with mousers (obviously, argentinians ones). There are LOTS AND LOTS of them. The bad thing is that they are in a really poor condition...

[LastRussianEmporer]

k= kurtz = short woo german lesson of the daay

[TheSkarsbo]

@LastRussianEmporer K=Karbine

[LastRussianEmporer]

@TheSkarsbo naw , Kar98K kar is for Karabiner k is for kurz - short

[PsychopathicLlama]

@LastRussianEmporer and im guessing karabiner is german for carbine?

[LastRussianEmporer]

@PsychopathicLlama Yea

[something01992]

@PsychopathicLlama Karabiner, from a linguistic point of view, has the same stem of carbine. However, in the German usage of the word, Karabiner means that it has a side mounted sling. Look up the Kar98b, it's a modified Gewehr 98, turned down bolt, side mounted slings, but same length as a gewehr.

[something01992]

@PsychopathicLlama Karabiner from a linguistic point of view, has the same stem as carbine. However, in the German usage of the word, Karabiner means that it has a side mounted sling. It does not neccessarily mean that it has a shorter barrel or shorter length.

[PsychopathicLlama]

@something01992 thats really interesting, and im not being a douchebag either...im serious, learn something everyday

[gizehfilter]

@LastRussianEmporer Not quite. Don't know why people always think it's "Kar 98 k". It's definitely "K 98k". "k" is just pronounced like "kar" in German, not like "kay" as in English. But the explanation is of course correct.

[pritzi101]

@gizehfilter No dude, he's right, the Kar indicates it's a Carbine, although Kar was interchangeable for just K at the front, but in the military it was known as the Kar 98 K.

[gizehfilter]

@pritzi101 Well, how do you know? I never found "Kar 98k" in any German document or on any German website including Wehrmacht manuals and my grandpa's pay book ("Soldbuch"). Only on sites in English. "K 98k" is short for "Karabiner 98 kurz", that's true. Maybe the Allies used the abbreviation "kar"...?

[pritzi101]

@gizehfilter Its official name was the Mehrladekarabiner Modell Mauser K98k, because during the WWI the rifle was longer but already a carbine, so the new rifle was given the designation K for a shorter rifle. Whilst the name might not have been Kar in the paper work, it was almost definitely used on the ground and I assure there is a distinct difference been Kar and the pronunciation of K.

[pintofshite]

Hi mate, I have 2 K98's, and a GEW 98. Do you have one of those ?

Great guns also

[ristin59]

I just picked up a Yugoslav M24/47 Mauser, ($99.99) in shooting condition.

Mausers are a great rifle!

[Zeppelinfaktor]

Did they make left handed models?

[mainminevin]

Cool video. Subbed.

[1983BOWTIEBEATER]

I just bought a 1923 Czech BRNO, looked into the history of all my marks, was made and used by Czechoslavakia, then sold in the late 30s to turkey, hence my sight being in weird numerals, I replaced it with an original czech.

mine has no bluing left, but is all matching, minus the sight slide. Very nice overall but I think I overpaid being it cost $159 :{

It has excellent rifling though. Ejector has a problem though??? Feeds great but won't throw the spent round out. Any tips for this?

[R5H4D0W]

@1983BOWTIEBEATER Same issue as you are. the ejector is supposed to be a leaf spring, but mine just floats freely. Extracts fine, couldn't eject even if I pried at it. Had to take the bolt out and wiggle it off

[EHSPP16]

I don't know if anyone already said this but I believe the controlled feed was adopted with the 1893 design.

[7thSonOfHolyDiver]

Kar it's shorted karabiner, which means, carbine, 98 it's date of model, and k it's kurz, which means short.

[twiztidicp56]

does anybody no when the 757 7mm mauser was made i have one but there are no date or nothen on any part of the rifle

[artard1456]

I have a 1891 argentine with all matching sn's and I noticed that my sn is the same as your k98k except mine has a p before the numbers 

i also found out that my particular rifle was made in 1899

[gusmoose1]

I have a dou 44 k98. Is the metal properly heat treated in this rifle? I had a gunsmith look at it and he thought it was ok to shoot, went out and shot it and it was fine. Any opinions?

[TaZ101SAGA]

Interesting videos, nice job.

[coolmike1989]

243 1940 I have the same one Its a vet bringback with matching numbers a good rifle made when the steel was still good. You have to look for early ones.

Good Video

Mike

[kp7100]

i am looking for a mauser to buy. whic one will be best. i live in CA by the way. the only avalible ones i found are turkish mausers and yugos and sweds. looking for an 8MM though. thanks

[myYTwashackedbyanoob]

Hey IV8888 Been watching your vids for about a year now and see you have a lot of smarts when it comes down to rifles.. i am in need of help my K98 & 91/30 both have a tiny bit of rust in the rifeling i got most of it out with solvents, windex, copper wool and boiling water but none of this is helping for the last bit now.. and i just dont know what else to use.. i keep doing all the steps i told u i have done but they arent working now any ideas man?

[webst150]

Thanks for the pricing advice. I realize now I poorly asked that last question. What I meant to say is that the magazine spring does not prevent the bolt from being closed as it should when the rifle is empty. It could be it is just caked with cosmoline, or maybe the m48 differs from the K98 in that regard? You describe in your video that you have to push the spring down to close the bolt on your 98k when empty, is that also true for a properly functioning m48? Thanks Again

[SfagoKa]

i own a 1917 danzig and was wondering what i would have to do to mount a scope?

[Iraqveteran8888]

@webst150 The bolt on the M48 will likely not lock back. It isn't the floor plate...if you look at the follower, you should notice that is has a small notch cut out of the corner to allow the bolt to slide over it. If the magazine itself did not lock up, it would fall out of the rifle completely. $350 is a little high unless it is in mint condition. If the bore isn't pristine and the crown isn't extremely sharp, I would offer about $250

[collinis1]

I am 15 yrs old and I saw a pre 1898 mauser for $400 and I can buy it because it is an antieque Do you think I should buy it

[Iraqveteran8888]

You have to be 18 even to buy an antique.

[TheSkarsbo]

@Iraqveteran8888 Nope...i am 16 and got a Mg42, Mauser, Mosin Nagant M44 and M1 Thompson.... dipends what cuntry we live in i guess?

[joseph299]

@TheSkarsbo

Well in the US you can own one if its given to you as a gift if you are under 18, but for anyone to buy a firearm like a rifle or shotgun the age is 18 no matter how old the arm is, and its 21 in most areas for handgun sales if not nationwide.

[idotman12]

@collinis1 See, if you want an answer, dont give people any more information than is necessary, because they may decide that you dont "need" to know.

[CasinAandC]

@collinis1 Have your mom or dad buy it for you.

[Howie262]

i have that exact year 1940 k98. beautiful weapon.

But yea to add to the spring field 1903..

they totaly stole mauser's desighn...

theres no doubt, infact "bolt action"

actualy means... "mauser-action"

because the bolt that all other bolt action rifles use still today. Are only a coppy from the original mauser action rifle....

[damionspawn]

@Howie262 hey man look at the date 1903 and 19 40

[slyde77]

your talking about the brass right lol cause the rifle is my baby :) but yeah you want the brass ill send it no prob :)

[Iraqveteran8888]

No I meant the rifle... j/k

Yes, the brass...lol

[slyde77]

lol just message me the address and ill send it :) i have 55, i would have more but man my shoulder started hurting lol.

[skippers96]

Great work I like your idea of the draws thats cool but I would like if you get the time to do some more .22 videos on what is the best store ammo for like range, hunting .ETC bullets you can get in .22 shorts and long rifle. I know your busy but I thought I would just put the idea in your head.

[Iraqveteran8888]

@skippers96

Yeah I'll do that eventually.

[Ialocin85]

I own a G98 1916 Dänzig with all numbers matching. Is there anything special about this rifle you know of? :)

All i know is that it was used by the German wehrmacht in Norway during ww2.

[Iraqveteran8888]

Should be a good shooter. Bore should slug at .323 or so. The rifle you have was likely brought in and converted from old supplies of Model 98s if my memory serves. It is a long gun with a straight bolt, correct?

[slyde77]

im having trouble with my Safety. It's hard to engage to safe mod and so on, any tips? its very very stiff and sometimes i cant get it in safe mode.

[Iraqveteran8888]

Hard to say without looking at it personally. Mauser safeties usually never have problems, so I would take it to a gunsmith.

[slyde77]

Yeah ill prob do that cause it just sticks really bad sometimes. Anyway wuld you like that 8mm brass? Its Prvi Partizan brass, it was sp 196gr

[Iraqveteran8888]

If you don't want it, I'll dang sure give it a home. Only if it is no problem to send it.

[lew935]

i have a, 8mm that says fabrica de armas 1942, on the reciever and im not sure what country it is from. I have not seen one that looks like it yet, any ideas to what country it might be from?

[Iraqveteran8888]

Sounds like you have a La Caruna Spanish Airforce Mauser. Does it have the double bayonet lug?

Those Mausers are nice...I used to have one. Mine was a 42' also...good rifle, and should be a decent shooter.

[oldspeedsi]

Just got a k98 today sportserized but all #s match with a 60's weaver k2.5 and all waffen marks intact. cant wait to shoot this one.

[VIKINGWARLOCK]

my favorite is the Swedish Mauser in 6.5x55

[slyde77]

i need a mauser, a local shop has a Gewehr 98 that was made into a k98 with a cut barrel from germany and also has those Lange Visier sights left on it. you think its a good buy? i thought the gun shop guy was b.sing by telling this was done by the germans and was giving to SS troops and the Police. But i got home and looked it up and its true lol

[Iraqveteran8888]

How much are they asking?

[slyde77]

I believe it was 299.00 i would say it was in good condition. the bore was a little dark but he said that common with these 8mm rifles. im still new to the surplus rifles but plan on getting a bunch.

[Iraqveteran8888]

Thats about average. Hard to tell without looking at it.

[1995marines]

i love both of them hard comparison

[Atugaz]

THE SECOND IS VERGEURIO MAUSER!

[CrystalHunter1989]

I found a K98 in a shop today for $300 dated 1939. I would have LOVED to get the weapon, but I don't know about ammo prices. Anyone care to help me out? I can't afford reloading supplies...

[Iraqveteran8888]

8mm Mauser ammo is still fairly reasonable in terms of pricing. Try calling Century, AIM Surplus, J&G Sales, Military Gun Supply, Dans Ammo, Sportsman's Guide, Midway USA, etc.

[bobtaylor1979]

nice vid as always. dude, do u do anything else except playing with guns???? lol

[Iraqveteran8888]

@bobtaylor1979

Not really. I play guitar, burn up the woods, and play with guns.

[67mustangreg]

dude, 8mm is nice and cheap compared to other calibers. Only like nagant ammo is cheaper.

[Iraqveteran8888]

A handloader can shoot any .30 caliber for about the same price.

I suppose the 7.62x54r and 8mm Mauser are about neck and neck in terms of price and availability.

It wont last forever though!

[67mustangreg]

just got home from a gun show, and dissapointed that I couldn't find very much 30-06 let alone at a good price. about $.75 a round.

[Iraqveteran8888]

Try the CMP but good luck even with them. And they are Government backed and funded!

[assaultrecon28]

is there a good place to get a mauser accesorie pack?

im mainly looking for a bayonets/cabbard/ sling/ ammo pouch. i was gonna get the one on colorado gun sales but its sold out

[Iraqveteran8888]

Try gunbroker, numrich gun parts, and military gun supply. You may also call Samco Global Arms as well.

[itseasyforyou]

Beautiful rifle! I'm very happy that you keep them in such a great shape! I really love the WW1/2 bolt rifles. We can't buy them in Holland (we can't even buy a plastic ball shooting gun since they look like 'real' guns LOL! or not!!) but you can buy them in Belgium the country under mine for 800! euro's or more! Very expensive, the German ones then. You also pay 250-300 Euro for a 1895 Nagant revolver there.

[Iraqveteran8888]

Thanks for sharing your experience. You are welcome to come shoot my rifles whenever you want...All you have to do is come to the U.S...LOL

250 EURO for a Nagant Revolver...OUCH.

They are about 89 bucks here.

[clonearmymovies]

the mauzer is a great riftle but it has some flaws it had to be cleaned regulary and there was not a standard isued scope

but some german world war 2 soldiers stole the soviet scopes and modified them onto the mauzer

[Iraqveteran8888]

Any rifle of the era is going to need maintainence. The ammo they used was very corrosive, and many times soldier would go for long periods of time without cleaning their rifles. Look at a K31 Swiss bore and you'll see what I mean. The ammo they used was not corrosive, and granted they didn't have to fight.

[BubbaRountree]

Great Vid Brother! Keep em' comin'!!

[Iraqveteran8888]

Thanks for the support.

[prairietiercel]

Great video. Is it difficult to scope one of these rifles? My eyes are getting pretty old for the open sights. Keep up the great work.

[Iraqveteran8888]

Scoping these rifles is no more difficult than other milsurps although, generally, the Mauser requires very precise drilling and tapping to mount a scope base properly. They make LER scope mounts that replace the rear sight base that are an attractive option for those not wanting to make alterations to the rifle. IMO, the best way to scope any rifle is to drill and tap is necessary.

[ubername9999]

with the wood version do you have to sand the wood

[Iraqveteran8888]

Are you referring to refinishing the stock?

[JNT20]

the krag really wasn`t so bad.......

[Iraqveteran8888]

If I sounded like I was talking shit about Krag, im Sorry!

I love the Krag!!!!! It's a wonderful rifle in it's own respect.

[thewatchdawg229]

okay......i respect all firearms, in my opinion this is rifle manufacturing at its best. Even thought these are 60+ years old they still shoot like they were just made at an armory. I have got a 1934 German K98 that gives great groups at 100yds on surplus ammo. This rifles were designed by great craftsman. Thats why they are still around and able to perform.

[Iraqveteran8888]

I agree...The Mauser pattern of rifles is one hell of a design and engineering feat!

[jubbles2343]

clicked on the ad a few times for you

[Iraqveteran8888]

CHA CHING....Thanks man...

All the funds will go towards the videos so thanks for the support.

[Pimpology9]

The Kar98k is my favorite rifle, next to the 1903 Springfield.

[assaultrecon28]

thanks for all your help

[Iraqveteran8888]

Sure thing man...Anything you need give me a hollar.

[assaultrecon28]

is the stock for a mauser m48 compatible with a mauser m24?

[Iraqveteran8888]

The stocks are almost identical but the metal parts have a few differences. I would read up on it. You might be able to get away with it.

[assaultrecon28]

I was thinking about getting a yugo m24 from jgsales

[Iraqveteran8888]

Those are awesome rifles and very accurate.

[falloutdude222]

nice video man, i'm a US wwii rifleman myself, but i also cannot go past a nice mauser. Just great firearms, very well made

[Iraqveteran8888]

I agree...I love U.S. weapons, but there is something about the old faithful Masuer rifle....

[pukkepop]

Mauser rifles were also produced in Herstal by the Fabrique National de Guerre (FN) in Belgium. I do believe the Belgain Mausers were in 7,65x53 Belgian (also called Argentine) but the same basic Model 98 design.

[Iraqveteran8888]

Glad you brought that up. It is important to note that the facilities were taken over during the war and the factory/workers/materials used to fuel the Nazi war machine, respectively.

[Ocyris4]

About 8 years ago my dad brother and I ordered 3 handpicked Turkish 1903 Mausers for $50.00 a piece and free shipping. Some people will say the turks are the low end of the Mausers but that's not my experience they are great rifles.

[Iraqveteran8888]

LUCKY...Whoever says a Turkish Mauser is junk obviously doesn't know jack about what they are talking about. They are classic examples!

[mauser3846]

its really amazing to watch the Gew 71infantry rifle be refined and refined until it became the mauser 98. I think they added the bolt guide to the bolt in 1898. Great vid 5*****

[Iraqveteran8888]

+1 I agree...

[Gungeek]

I think control feed first came out with the 1892-3 Mauser.

[Iraqveteran8888]

Yeah me too...That was a slip of the brain.

[oktoberfest124]

uh actually when you mean the difference between k98 and k98k. it was actually the gewehr 98 that the k98k was based off from. basically what im saying it that there i no just k98, it the k98k the predicessor gew 98. side note: i dont quite understand why they had to put that "K" at the end cuz k98k stands for karabine 98 kurtz or carbine 98 short, they're kinda doing a double negative.

[Iraqveteran8888]

We are talking about the same rifle I just mistakenly called it a K98 instead of a Gew98. Either way, the point is made...LOL

And yes, the fact that another "k" is at the end of the model is kind of silly, but hey.

[swords13639]

I'm thinking of buying either a Mosin Nagant M91/30 or a Lee Enfield no 5 mk 1. Seeing as you seem to be the expert, which one do you think would be the better choice and why?

[Iraqveteran8888]

It mostly depends on what you prefer and whether or not you intend on shooting it.

If you want to shoot...The M91/30 is going to be easier to find cheap ammo for, and the initial investment in the rifle itself will be cheaper. Good all around choice for plinking, and some hunting applications (use a good SP round...not military ammo)

The Enfield is more of a handloader's rifle if you are intending on shooting it a lot.

Both designs are soldiers and will be wonderful additions.

[niko911]

Like Iraqveteran said but the action on the enfield is a lot nicer. Mosin nagant is a lot cheaper in ammo and the gun itself though lol

[Iraqveteran8888]

Bear in mind also that the Enfield is a cock on closing design. Some swear by it, while some loathe it...

I prefer a cock on opening design, but I like the Enfield too.

[Cruisey1962]

Lee Enfield No 5 is a carbine, while the M91/30 is a "long rifle", both have very different characteristics .....the Mosin will be accurate out to a longer distance for example, where the carbine would be better suited to say, hunting in a heavily forested area where you would shoot at closer ranges.

[Iraqveteran8888]

Very true...They are both nice rifles. Shit I plan on carrying my Martini Henry for primative weapons hunting this year....

[Dp908]

Ditto on what iraqvet said. I have an enfield No.4 mk1 and two mosins, a 44 izzy 91/30 ex-sniper, and a 44 izzy m44. Out of the two both will get the job done. The enfield is probably made just slightly better but the mosins are crudely simple, accurate, and get the job done and are probably better rifles to buy for the newer people getting into surplus rifles. Easy to take apart, accurate, and ammo is cheaper and easier to find.

[jasonhenson1991]

Regards to the controlled round feed. I think that goes back to the Spanish 1893 Mauser if not before that.

[Iraqveteran8888]

Yeah I meant to mention that actually...I just had a brain fart on that. The 1893 is a very nice revision of the Mauser IMO.

[jasonhenson1991]

I agree. I kinda have a thing for small ring mausers. Specifically the 96. I am practically obsessed with the 6.5x55 Swede. I have no I idea why. It's such a "cool" cartridge

[Iraqveteran8888]

Yeah I know right? SHAME on me for not bringing up the Swedish Mauser!

That will have to be a video of it's own when I get one finally... ;)

[ECTBWHO]

Love the news paper.
