my great uncle was in the second world war. His platoon had been all killed but two people, one of them was him. He had hid in a small cave like dig out in germany when the germans where passing over him. He had stayed n the cave all night until the next day with the other guy. When he finally came out of the cave dig out, there was a dead german soldier next to the entrance with a k98 next to him. My great uncle took the gun for protection and i remember him telling me that that gun saved his life perhaps 3-4 times before he finally found another platoon. Anyway, when he died, i inherited the gun. Its an antique and i will never shoot it, but i clean it all the time. Its an amazing gun.

Why not shoot it? I'm sure your uncle wouldn't mind you trying it :huh:
Lol well... He's dead for one thing... he died in mid 90's. I would shoot it, but it hasnt been shot for over 30 years... somthing might break on it :/
I could take a picture if you all like :0 i take it out every now and then
