Cleaning Time Again
Hi,
Thought I would post a couple of pics of another of my 'shooters' whilst doing post range cleaning. This time, my Spandau 1916 G98.
I do not get as much fun from shooting it as my Enfields but it is still fun. The biggest problem with these is the sights start at 400m so shorter range becomes something of a lottery.
Thoughts always welcome.

And used it should be, like a classic car part of the whole point of preservation is to keep it running

Bugger,
I just realised that I posted this in the wrong section! Alzheimer's is an awful thing!
Duh!
Well, it is a world firearm, it was used in the trenches and it does include an edged weapon so kind of close really.by vegetius
Now, what did I come in here for again?

It's about 106 years old, been through at least one World War, and is still shooting! Those great old guns never wear out. I agree that the Lee Enfields are more fun (and probably better in combat), but the Mausers are really fine rifles too.
