With the ammo shortages lately, I have been wanting to shoot more than just my 10/22. (I also have a 7.62x39 AR, but that ammo is hard to find and expensive, and it is very hard to find any 9mm for my USP). One gun that I've liked is the K98k (probably because I am biased toward liking German guns). I've noticed the 8mm Mauser ammo is still pretty cheap, and a shooting quality rifle doesn't seem too bad. My friend has a Mosin Nagant 91/30, so that's why I don't really want one of those since he almost always comes to the range with me. I think I will look for some K98ks at the gun show this weekend, but is there anything specific I should inspect? I assume it would be good to look at the barrel before buying one, and checking the headspace before shooting, but is there anything else I should check with these rifle? Also if anyone has any advice for getting a rifle like this, feel free to let me know. Thanks!
