When I was a kid (early 60's) I used to sling my K98 across my back,,,
And pedal down to the army surplus store near me.
The grumpy old codger who ran the place,,,
Would sell us 8mm and 303 ammo for (IIRC) 5 cents a round.
I got $2.00 dollars a week so I would spend 50 cents on ammo,,,
Then peddle on out to the county dump to shoot rats.
Even with steel jacket ammo,,,
The 8mm vaporized those big old rats.
A mason jar full of water,,,
A blanket and a bag of PB&J sandwiches,,,
And all afternoon to pretend I was a WW-II sniper.
Good times,,,
Aarond
