280 bux for a Romanian is a bit steep but that's the lowest you can hope for nowadays.
Either way it's already sold.

I was the winner.
I just shot a H&K P30. I hated it, it's hit monster low everytime. Has anyone else shot this gun? What are your opinions of it?
Here is a picture of it.

Wooden furniture on modern guns is epic

I especially like the finger groove in the foregrip.
Ergonomically there's just something wood has that composite doesn't. Can't quite put my finger on it though.
For instance I'm thinking of buying a Saiga then putting a wooden hunting stock on it.

Obviously.
[quote][i]1911s are amazing to shoot,[/i] [b]'03 Springfields kick like a mule,[/b][/quote]
The 1911's recoil is not bad at all and, well, I already said it but I'll say it again for posterity. Amazing to shoot and the most fun I've had with pants on.
I can't decide which gun is the most satisfying to shoot...
I still have yet to shoot anything more totally satisfying than my .460rowland.
I was shooting under a metal building with ice all over the roof, every shot caused the compensator to knock stuff off the roof and send things flying every where. And the soft bullets I used in the loading had a tendency to completely explode on impact making for a very impressive display down range.
Granted there was lots of hickups as previously mentioned, I've gone over every part of the gun with a fine tooth comb now and refined my loads to where I'm pretty certain there can't be another issue. Any place metal is touching metal, or any place a bullet feeds against is now polished to a mirror finish. Including the chamber.
Try shooting concrete blocks with a Mauser or a Garand. Now THAT'S satisfying.
Alternatively, shoot some logs with a musket, the balls fly apart on impact and cut straight through it like a knife or they make a perfectly round hole and split the log in half.

I'm sure my .460 would destroy them equally as well.
Tried a mauser at the range and wasn't really impressed with the power, it seemed like it was exceptionally low recoil.
I'm going to my first gun show on Saturday :D

I'm not sure, but judging by his gear and the blue bolt, I'm saying that this is some simulator I've recently heard about. All you do is change ammunition and bolt, put on some computer vests, then you can shoot eachother like it was paintball. Hurts like hell apparently.
Ok, this might appear as a dumb question, but is it responsible to use a CO2 BB-gun in -12C?
Because I want to practice shooting it, I even made a rack for my paper targets, but I never found the proper time to start practicising, and my trigger finger is getting itchy now.
[QUOTE=Campin Carl;19992680] is it responsible to use a CO2 BB-gun in -12C?[/QUOTE]
What.
You mean is it safe? Probably is.
So. I like bolt action rifles. As far as I remember, they still have a k98 for about 299.99$ at my local gun store. Good buy?
[QUOTE=evilking1;19993504]What.

Btw don't shoot ice. I've had it shatter and hit me above the eye. I got lucky that time. It may seem like a good idea at the time.

It really depends on the country of origin. Obviously a German will be worth more than an austrian.
Yeah wear protective goggles, I've got ricocheted to my feet and legs and body at lest 40 times with a pellet gun.

Nah, I'm gonna shoot regular paper targets, I just wanted to be on the safe side and try to not risk my BB-gun getting fucked up due to cold. (I know shit about gases and such, yet I have a B in Chemistry/Biology)
I wanna train more with my BB-gun so I can get used to that type of sights. I'm getting slitghly bored with the diopter sight on my Krag-Jørgensen.

Typically you want an early war gun because the late war guns from '43 and '44 and especially '45 are of low quality, sometimes lacking lining in the bore, making them poor shooters. Russian capture guns are the most common and some of the worst, the Russians would disassemble them and throw the pieces into piles so you get lots of "parts guns" that don't match.
One last thing, take note of the serial number, every single part on a 98k is stamped with at least two digits of the serial number, right down to the screws, they should all match. After that, it really comes down to your judgment, look at the bore to see if it's nice and shiny and test the action to see if it's smooth with no hangups.
[QUOTE=Gubbinz96;19987802]I know I'm probably to late.
But they're dirty cheap for a reason.[/QUOTE]
I've bought them before from CTD when they were like $2 a piece, they just need a little work and they work flawlessly.

I have never heard of an Austrian Mauser.
German Mausers are worth about $300, depends on if it's a Russian Capture or not. If the gun is Yugoslavian, please kindly beat the shit out of your gun store owner, because they're only worth like $150.
if it's german it is definitely a russian capture going by the price, they are all generally good to go and make good shooters/representative pieces
If its a russian capture it usually has a shellac finish. Mine does.
[QUOTE=EurofanBMW;20002696]If its a russian capture it usually has a shellac finish. Mine does.[/QUOTE]
Shellac finish, stained red stock, reblued differently (don't know exactly how, I think it's cold blued or something, but I don't remember), not sold with cleaning rods, capture screws and sight hoods, and forced to match with electro-penciled numbers. Sometimes the Nazi marks are ground off or marked out, but sometimes they're intact.
That's about all the differences.
Absence of a sight hood doesn't always mean it's a capture gun though. Early 98ks were made without them and don't have the grooves that they clip onto.

That's true, it shouldn't be the first thing you look for, but still RC rifles aren't sold with them.
[QUOTE=mugofdoom;20009838]That's true, it shouldn't be the first thing you look for, but still RC rifles aren't sold with them.[/QUOTE]
they're only like 5-10$ parts though, same with cleaning rods (they might be a bit more)
if you're just looking to get a K98 and aren't a serious collector of Mausers then RCs are just perfect
Yeah, just make sure you get one with a good bore at least. Any Mauser with a good bore will do just fine as a shooter.
