After many trips my Gew-88/05 gets a wild hog . It was a sporter I picked up cheap , the best part was a mint .323 CZ Turk barrel . I put a luminated scope on it , am using one of mine K-88 bolts until I find a bent bolt body . It is zeroed for a 225 sp roundnose bullet at sub-sonic velocity ...

Got a really big boar [ 225 lbs + ] with my Gew-88/05 # 2 hunting rifle . This one is a sportered 1890 Danzig with a Turk .323 barrel I bought . It has a laser sight on it for night use . 225 grain Herters rn soft point at 130 yards at night . It does show why some German troops still liked...

I picked up a nice 1891 Amberg Gew-88 , S Z dot , matching bolt with sling for cheap in GB . Looks like a WWI bring back as it looked like it had been in a closet for decades . Nobody bid on this one and I got for less than 1/2 of what they pay for common 05's or SA junk . It gives me all the...

I was wondering if an article on the German military's obsession with rear sights would hold any interest to anyone ? From the Gew-88 up to the early K-98k . Most of this information seems to be unknown or not understood . Mainly due to the mis-information about the ammo , when S ammo came...

Did a little test shooting with a new Gew-88 I picked up cheap . A nice clean 91 Danzig with the original barrel . It shot well as most 88's do with my normal loads . But I was really impressed with some longer range shooting with the Norma 197.5 grain .321 dia bt sp bullet at 2100 fps . It...

I noticed on your Gew-88 list of Amberg rifles you have posted the # of my 1899 rifle . Where did you get my # from ?

Did my second days worth of more test shooting with another dozen Gew-88 rifles . Spent 5 hours at my range with 20 different loads plus some original 1900 P-88 ammo . I fired 5 rounds of the P ammo in an unmodified Gew-88/05 , it did a 2.65 100 yard group . But the velocity string amazed me ...

I just picked up my 2nd unmodified Gew-88/05 . I now have the only two I have ever seen . I figure there are more out there but people just do not know what they are with all the really bad Gew-88 info floating around . They fit in well with my 5 Gew-88 S rifles , another on that is fairly hard...

Did late war Gew-98's have blued receivers . If so when did it start and what makers .

Did some test shooting with my newly acquired IRA Gew-88 . The rifle is interesting because it left German service right before the start of WWI , so it is dated to 1914 German service . It has no S and the only updates are the cocking piece and the dot for the stronger barrel jacket nut solder...
