Good Lord. Those shells look a lot like the ones that feed my Dad’s Model 98. Is that thing 8mm?

Speaking of which, one of these days when you get down this way, we need to take the old girl out for a spin. I just discovered three boxes of old 8mm Mauser shells that Dad had put away. One box is Egyptian…

Way cool! I could play with that all afternoon just to watch the NEAT action!

Just….Damn!

Where do I get one!

I noticed that the guy pushed a round into the chamber befor closing the bolt, I guess the rifle does not have controlled-round feeding.

Nathan,

Just a guess, but I’d bet that those cartridges are a bit larger than 8mm Mauser (8×57) – probably 9.3×64.

Holy Crap! That is waaaaaaaayyyy cool!

Me too… want. But most certainly can’t afford!

Neat rifle, I’d love to play with it.

But..

Why’d they pick a piker for the video who can’t work the bolt with the stock still on his shoulder?
