Blast from the Past

Just got in from the woods, took my 1918 Erfurt P08, a BYF 44 K98, and an AC 44 P38. The rifle was consistent 3" 5 round groups at 50 yds with Turkish milsurp ammo. Second time its been fired since WWII. As always the P08 out shot the P38 at 20 yds. These old guns amaze me. I love the smell of gunpowder. Ya'll may think I'm crazy, but when I pulled the bolt back on the 98K after firing the fifth round, the gun actually smiled and said "Danke, das habe Ich gebraucht". (Thanks, I needed that)
