I had to think hard about setting this one loose. My eyes are not what they use to be for open sights so I thought someone could put this to good use. This thing shoots very accuratley. Handles and points very well.

Holy balls. If this is what you're selling, I'd like to see what you're holding on to.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

For those not familiar with the action. The Gew 88 used a modified Mannlicher action with a few Mauser tweaks. Instead of using the Schoenauer rotary action it uses an external single stack magazine. The magazine was loaded from the top of the open action via a 4 round en bloc clip that was pushed down into the magazine against the spring .When last round is chambered the clip drops away through the hole in the bottom .Very cool.

Nice rifle but I thought most 8 mm was .323?

when it first came out these rifles were a .318 bore later changed to .323...so domestic ammo loads to .318 bore just to be safe.
