    It has really been a good month for me and Mausers. The first is a 1916 Spandau Gewehr 98 and the second is a 1922 Carl Gustafs target model.

    Man you guys keep tempting me to put a toe back into the Mauser pool with beauties like these. Like I don't have enough room in the Mawkie Vault as it is!

    Wow! :party29:

    I guess I know what I'll be shooting against at this month's Allied & Axis! ;)

    Probably the 1922 Swedish Mauser or my 1889 Schmidt Rubin. The 1916 Spandau Mauser has the lowest sight setting at 400 yards! It shoots at lease a foot high at 100 yards. I've ordered a taller front sight from Brownells, so once that gets here and I get it put on, I'll see how this old girl shoots. Are you shooting this month?

    I'm sure hoping to be shooting this month. I'm being super careful (yes, I am a klutz). :sad20: I have enough special loaded ammo for Pillsbury for the match. Also, I have a new sling (maybe someone can show me how to install it). I'm definitely looking forward to it. :party29:
