RE: Giving the last salute to the deceased rifle due to the government's decision

in Reflections3 months ago

When I checked the mark on the model earlier, nothing was clear to me🙂 Although the barrel of the rifle is marked M24/47, I have also come across the marking you mention, the Mauser K98, as well as the M1924.
As far as I can tell, the difference is in the shutter handle, the Mauser has a straight one, the M1924, that is, the M24/47 overhauled, has a curved shutter handle.

It's a pity that the decision of our ministers was excellent with a short deadline, so we didn't get to shoot a little with it... and it wasn't appropriate to drive through the city to the shooting range with a rifle in the trunk after what happened.

Sort:  

I should have written: Mauser type action.
The original Mauser cartridge is probably too large for hunting deer...
It was a very succesful bolt. Copied by many companies.

Still a shame you had to give it up.
