Has the Mauser ever been fired Joe.
You must have quite a collection now.

Dave the 71/84 is obsolete calibre and not on ticket so i have`nt fired it
The Kar 88 i just shoot lead bullets with a mild charge, they are both "keepers".

I have and shoot a Greener converted Martini Henry Mk 2 1874 in .22rf. Usual converted for the SMRC but at 200 yards got me 37 ex 50. Good marking for the ATC lads and girls at Century as it is a very quiet round in such a long barrel. I'll be at the LERA/HBSA miniature match next month with all of them! I have been cheating and zeroed my Winchester .22 03 auto last night!

Theoldest rifle that I own is a steyr 1886 portugese kropatschek in 8mm.
has matching bayonet. Have about 5 pounds assorted bullets also 248gr steel jacketed and about the same number with the cupronickle bullets. And approx 65 loaded origional rounds. The dates on the head of the cases range from 1911 into the teens and some in the 1920's. Funny thing about this rifle is that the bore is in really great condition. Frank

If you discount the Pietta 1858 Remmington New Model Army Revolver in .44 then it is my original 1812(ish) Baker Rifle with bayonet.
