Gentlemen, Time to poll the membership. I would like to see a new forum added to the Fire. One dedicated solely to the great 98. We might actually need two. One for militaries and one for commercial / customs. Other ideas, or suggestions to refine?
Mauser Central used to be pretty good - RIP Mauser Central...
Like Sam Houston, I will vote for what is best for ME in 2020. Texans read their Bibles to find what they want it to say, and are blind to what it actually says...
Certain years of Sako rifles would certainly qualify. I was wanting to be Mauser specific on this one, however the membership and Rick Bin would have to decide. I've run it by Rick. He said go for it, so let's see how it goes.

Sako was picking up 98K,s and customizing em after WW2 to get back in the game. Before and during their FN action time.
Lots of em were sold in American Base PX,s in europe.
This rifle sure as fugg didnt look like this when I got it out of a pawn shop and they didn't realize what it was.
Did alot of work on this rifle . Shoots 20 bucks a box ppu 196gr sp sub moa now.....
Got my eyes on another with a 1918 Erfurt action with a .308 barrel. Let it sit in the pawn shop it is at for awhile longer. Need ta check its headspace. Really nice custom build Kinda looks like a older rem 700 with black fore end cap and deep black blue finish with a real nice black walnut stock, 2 position low buehler safety.
I just dont know if I need another mauser or another caliber.
Crazy talk...
So yes!!! We need a Mauser forum!!! It will push me over the edge and buy this one I got my eye on.
No comments about my sneakers please. Heard em before
I bought one from a pawn shop years ago. Dark finish on the stock.... Then I redid the stock.... Awesome.... Did some checkering and slow rusty bluing in the past. Can't beat the 98...
