This post is to say thanks to Blammer for taking such good care of me. I met him at Greensboro NC show this past weekend and picked up a German Model 98 Mauser from him. I've wanted one for a long time. I'm been cleaning the crud and old copper out of the bore. A friend came over today and we put about 40 rounds 100 yards down range. We were using old Milsurp ammo but were getting about 2.5-3" groups. I was pleased. I expect with more work, cleanup and loading my own, it will get better. Gotta get a couple odds and end like a front sight hood and should be set.
