Shooting a Mauser K98k

Years ago I purchased a minty Persian Mauser with matching bayonet here locally from Samco.

For a production rifle the workmanship, finish and overall quality was superb. I paid a then princely sum of $750 for both rifle and bayonet and got to choose "best of the lot" at Samco's showroom.

I later traded it even for a 454 Casull with a 7.5" barrel. I thought I did well at the time, as the revolver was listed at $1,500, but in retrospect, I should have kept the Mauser.
