Pew Pew! (Photo of my new pea shooter.)

It's just a WWII curio rifle, so quit panicking, you gun-paranoids.

These last two frightened children into wetting themselves when I signed it. I was bored, so I took the test for shits and giggles and passed:

Thanks. If I could find my sunglasses, I'd be the sniper.

Looking mighty handsome with your new toy ineedy!

You already know my favorite part of the pics. "No you!" I don't know why, it just tickles me.

Have you shot anything with it yet?

It's only been home since 6 pm, and I have to drive 32 miles into the national forest to fire it, so, I'd say, Thursday maybe.

It was $120, very good condition. Just needs cleaning. But if you're getting an old WWII type, you gotta know what you're getting, the ammo type, and make SURE TO CHECK THAT THE PARTS AND BARREL ARE ALL IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.

Old rifles come in a WIDE range of conditions. Ask the seller to walk you through what you're looking at if you find one in a gun shop.

If you really want a mauser, look for a K98, or a Yugoslavian M48. Turks (like mine) are fine if you can verify they're not rebuilt from spare parts. It wasn't.

very cool. Not sure if I'd get an old rifle like that just yet. I have so many guns that I want. lol

 

[Captain Beard]

My next one is that Mossberg 464 when it comes out. Then a Smith&Wesson M&P45. Then probably a shotgun. More old rifles in between as I stumble across them.

Never been played. Still got the ole' tagger on it.

 

[Captain Beard]

Oh, it has been fired, the damned thing is 68 years old. The tag was from the shop I picked it up at.
