When can we ship Mausers?
 
When is the ATF going to let M98's be shipped by individuals as sporting rifles? I found a M98 with a 7x57 sporter barrel, boy-oh-boy would that shoot nice in Oklahoma!

The Nazis are no longer in power, and the M98 is not a main battle weapon...........although I could think of worse rifles to take to Iraq.

I think you can apply for an import/export permit from the BATFE. best bet would be to go to their web site. They seem to have all the regulations posted there. maybe you can even E-mail them for specifics.

Thanks Paul......................I'll give them a try now. I think a 7x57 would fare well on the wide open areas in the SOONER State!

I believe a 7x57 will fare well anyplace. That and the 6,5x55 are my favorites.

I can't answer your question about the '98's. Sounds like you are also confused about the curio and antique nomemclature as I am. Some times it's a curio and antique and sometimes it ain't.

Take Paul's advice and read about it.

Are you contemplating coming back stateside?

Best wishes, Bill

Billy..............I'm always thinking 'bout coming home..........I mean NCAA football is coming upon us! And I don't get AFN:mad:

Football and hunting seasons, sounds like a good reason for a sabbatical to me. :D

Course I don't think logically like most folks. I guess thats why I'm 70 and still haven't figured out what I want to be when I grow up. :( I keep trying different things.

I loved Germany but I felt like a traitor when I was there because my Grandparents and Parents worked so hard to get away from there. I can't imagine some of the things they had to do, even though they told me about some of them.

Best wishes, Bill

Dang Jon, just loadup and come home :)

I agree with BillyD, 7x57 should be fine here, and I am coming to liek the 6.5x55 more and more.

The only thing keeping me from going back is waiting for some sort of Government job, I went through waaaaay too much poop to leave the system I tried so hard to get in to...........:(


I've applied for jobs at:Tinker, Sill, Altus and the ammo center in McAlester
