a SAD Luger Story

Lonnie Zimmerman · 12-08-2001, 01:44 AM

In the middle 60"s, I bought a K-98 at a surplus store for 39.95 with the thought of making a hunting rifle of the action and barrel. In the meantime my stepdad got me a FN action and I forgot about until about 1980. One day I saw it and thought I should clean it and took it apart. I dropped the stock (without the hardware on the floor) and thought I heard a funny noise. I picked it up and shook it, and sure enough there was a clunking noise coming from the stock. I pulled the buttplate off, and inside the hollowed out stock was a Eagle C PPK wrapped in a wax paper type material. That was probably the greatest moment of my life (except for you know what). It was"t mint, but not to bad except for gold or strawed safety, hammer, mag buttton, and trigger. I still have both weapons.
