Some people have all the luck...
Look what my workmate got.... A Kar 98!! His girlfriends mother had found that from a woodshed, which used to belong to her father (who fought against germans in northern finland, in 1944)... the most amazing thing is that it´s in a perfect condition...
Now we just got to figure out, where we can get some bullets for that beauty
Oh yes, and my friend will also have to get a licence for that...

Did i say Kar98? No, stapler i meantWow!
nice stapler!
You notice everything
All it´s parts are also with same serial number (which is a big deal with gun collectors), so he could really get a good price from it... I just hope he doesn´t sell it, before i can fire a couple of rounds Heck, if it´s money that he wants, i´ll buy it....
As soons as he gets the licence for that baby, we´re off to the shooting range
A funny detail: It´s sights can be adjusted up to 2000 meters... pretty optimistic With modern assault rifles like our RK95, longest practical distance to shoot, is 300 meters
Oh yes... my kinda gun

Not really. That cartridge is VERY capable of the 2Km. WOuldn't ahve a lot of spunk form the shorter barreled guns like that. Thye probably used the same sight for the rifle as the carbine that late in the war.A funny detail: It´s sights can be adjusted up to 2000 meters... pretty optimistic With modern assault rifles like our RK95, longest practical distance to shoot, is 300 meters
Matching numbers on those guns is VERY nice. ;p)
BUY IT and KEEP it.
