Howdy everyone! I'm from Texas and just purchased a 1936 Mod 98 yesterday. Also have a Swedish Mauser, Argentine Mauser, a Remington 1903A3, and an Eddystone 1917. Haven't had a chance to shoot any of them just yet, but am interested in learning more of their great histories and gaining as much insight and info as I have time for. The Swedish and Argentine Mausers are in original state, the rest are sporterized. I have acquired a fair amount of mil-surp ammo in 8mm & .30-06, so just need to make the time to get these to the range and enjoy them!!
