Flaig's was about 2mi from where I used to live.
We used to be neighbors battue. I was just a few miles further north, but right there in the same area.
Going in there was like stepping back in time to what a good 1940s German gun shop must have looked like. Had a lot of good stuff that would be hard to find in one place today. 98's were all over the place for a song.
I remember them opening old wooden drawers full of 98 (and others) actions. Yep, they just kept them in drawers.
Absolutely.
I remember spending days there with my dad as a little kid. He had one of their gunsmiths build him a beautiful M98 on the side. I had no idea of the unique situation I was experiencing as a kid. I'd sure love to be able to live it again now.....
