Hello everyone,
I'm into gun shooting with a soft spot for history. I am French and I've bought in March this year a CE 42 "Mod 98". A soldier left it behind 75 years ago in a village nearby and I got it from the local gunsmith : it's all-matching (except the cleaning rod) with its original sling.
I already own a 1917 Kar 98a from Erfurt and a copy of Dieter Storz's book about Gew and Kar 98.
I hope to learn things about my rifle and perhaps post some interesting stuff.
Cheers,
Guillaume
