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?

John Boy....

Works for me.
Maybe simply a military rifle forum.

Yep, now it's too hard to just get there and it's controlled by a few snobbish "experts"

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.

They certainly would qualify as Mauser actions.

I've got Jon Speed's book on the commercial Mauser and Olson's book on the military versions......
I'm not an expert, but they are....

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... crazy

So yes!!!
We need a Mauser forum!!!
It will push me over the edge and buy this one I got my eye on.

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...

Just throwing that out!

Which would certainly be more interesting than all things Billings.
