Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

You never know..........
These things usually turn up on a grungy box on a table in the corner of some gun show.

pretty close ET2ss i found mine in a gun case in an antique shop which i had visited a thuosand times and i didn't see it until i asked the guy if i could see another rifle in his case (gew98/danzig 1916),so i was looking at that and in the dark corner was this little gem barely visible from the outside of the case.
the gew98 stayed at the store and the kar88 came home with daddy.
p.s the gew98 has been reunited with it;s cellmate ,i went back a week or two later and brought it home,,,,ahhhh life is good. :twisted:

Adrian I was actually talking about the bands but yes the rifles turn up that way too. Usually in a store that caters to folks who crave Remchester Huntin' guns :lol

I too came across a Kar in a shop such as this but it was a bit older

Also on a different occasion an original 1903 Greek MS carbine!!
