Nice buck Jake. I found a nice 30/40 last weekend I think I am going to go back and take
A better look at it this week end. I think its the carbine
Have to measure the barrel .I don't know that much about them.
Want to check on getting reloading stuff , dies. Etc.

There is a local gunstore here that has a bunch of custom Mauser 98's that I have been eyeballing. They all have new barrels and really nice wood stocks but still hjave the horrible triggers, but he is asking only $300-$375 for them, at that price a guy could put a Timmney trigger on one and have a really nice gun. Most of the are wildcat or obsolete cartridges though. I have been eyeballing a 358 and a 6.5-06. He also has a 270-08, a 223 improved, and a 257roberts improved. + a few others that I cant remember off hand. I am thinking about buying the 358, it is a Fabrique National built Mauser with the date stamp of 1931 on it. He wants $350 and it has a beautiful nicely figured wood stock.

Wow. I wish I had a dealer that had stuff like that
That 358 is a good pick.

I always liked the old two stage military trigger. To each his own.

Plus 1 I don't even like the accu triggers and the ones similar to them. They are basically two stage trigger. Had them removed from my ruger Americans both the centerfire and the rimfire version.

You should have felt the trigger on my
7.7+58 jap. It had a mile of creep. Then about
200 lbs. Of pull.
Took it to the gunsmith to do a trigger job.
All the creep is gone and it has about 4 lbs of pull
A world of diff.
