Awhile back, I picked up one of those cheapie mausers from sog.I ended up finding an original german sling,cleaning kit and bayonet/frog in great condition with a bakelite handle- at a reasonable price. gun is now completly restored (minus any sanding) and took it out for a complete test...ran 10 boxes of sellier ammo through it and was surprised how well it shot for the money I have in it. I was hitting a 2 liter pop bottle at 100 yards and today, my shoulder is smarting from it. theres a few things Id like to ask of those of you that are familiar with german mausers.
the trigger has alot of take-up but once it breaks, its good but seems that half of it is getting it to break, any fixes for this?
how on earth does one get that bolt apart?the cleaning kit has a tool for it but I havent figured it out yet
lastly,any places that sells the sellier and b 8x57js ammo..I had to pay 11 a box for new noncorrosive stuff from the local guy but he tends to be high on his ammo.
thanks
