So the "split" plan is evidently a universal thing????

Oh, yeah.
It's kinda cold though to discuss the split while the doner is in the same room!
Can I presume you have enough Model 8s to go around? If not, you might have to pick up some more.

I am clean out of Model 8's. All I got left is a beater 81.
But they sure are giving my other Mausers and Krags a close eye!!

I watched "Ride the High Country" a few weeks back, and one of the bad guys was packing a Model 8 ( the movie is set in 1908 ).
I thought, "kaywoodie would like this one".

Good flick. About old farts, for old farts. "Monte Walsh" is another good one for geezers. I watched it for the first time recently.

I think it is much better to give gifts with a warm hand than with a cold hand. You get to see the pleasure the recipient receives. Good for you, Kaywoodie.

Nice line, WoodsyAl. I might have to steal that one.

Nice line, WoodsyAl. I might have to steal that one. Have at it! I do believe in the sentiment expressed. When we reach a certain age, and are not going to use some of our things, why not pass them on to someone we love who will use and cherish them while we are still alive?

Al. I agree 100%. I like seeing the "your sh**ing me!" Look on their face when I do it!!! Sorry to sound so crude, but that's my best description. Due to her health situation, Wifey has given some of her stuff away. Can't wait to see look on one of the grandson's face when he gets a nice Savage 99F for Christmas this year!!!

Are you still looking? Any specific caliber or features? I have a nice 50's FN with a factory receiver sight in 06 and a 98 with claw mounts and scope in 8mm.

Good Luck Blairvt!!!! I hope they are what you are looking for. Life's too short to do without a real nice Mauser!!!

Not as special as I'd like for close to a grand. Seems like you like open sights more than I do for a custom Mauser, so our tastes are a bit different. That being said, just doing a search for custom mausers on gunbroker turned up a few options: Fun and old school, with the option of sights: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=485671236Love the wood, but don't like the carving: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=485456687I like this rig a lot, not sure what it will go for: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=485967603Very tasteful, very subdued here: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=485459945Spendy, probably overpriced, the red hues in the stain and the finish style don't suit my tastes, but interesting nevertheless in a .280 and octagon barrel: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=485486520Nice, simple, but probably overpriced in my opinion: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=486503499Stock shape isn't my style, but I like the matte bluing, and oil finish on the stock. Stock could be reshaped though: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=485807368You might catch the guy, with this being a .270, but there's a lot I like about the classic style of this one. Nice fiddleback, clean lines.: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=486161850I'd reshape the grip and forend here plus maybe straighten the comb, but I like the wood, and it might go for a decent enough price: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=486089650Love the classic lines on this gun, but it's got some dings and someone else's initials on it. All of which can be fixed. Neat piece, wish it were closer to $1,500 though: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=486090319

open sights are optional for me. I hate side mount scopes. I'm still kicking myself for not getting the first one I posted. A few dollars doesn't matter now.

yeah, I do like it. How hard would it be to fix up the runs in the stock finish?

Buy it.
As far as the runs in the stock finish,would think not to hard,maybe just a re-finish. If it were me buying it,I would not worry about them.

I just went to Cabelas and got a old S&W marked Husqvarna with a VX-II 4-12 AO. $525 with Military discount. It was marked I-bolt. I'm thinking they don't know what it was.
