Man, I get a kick out of making guns shoot, but I haven't reached that far back into the past for a military rifle yet. Good times. I did work with a Turkish Mauser from the 40's in 8mm for my neighbor's son. I got to learn all about it by pulling it apart, cleaning it from top to bottom, evaluating it's shooting fitness, and then working up a few loads for it. I couldn't make it shoot that well!


I belong on eroding granite, among the pines.
