I'm going to look at a WZ-48 next week,,,
I'm going to look at a WZ-48 next week,,,
A gentleman from another forum has offered one for sale.
He is local (45 miles) from me,,,
So I'm going to take a look at it real soon.
I haven't given up on a Mauser,,,
But the asking price on the WZ-48 is so low,,,
That I could buy it and not dip into the allotted Mauser fund.
I have had my 8mm K-98 since I was a kid,,,
My great uncle Banty brought it back from WW-II,,,
My grandfather gave the rifle to me when I turned 13 years.
I would love to have a KKW to match it,,,
But the price of those rifles has me looking at the DSM-34.
But like
PzGren stated,,,
You are straying!
What happened to your enthusiasm?
Stay the course and continue collecting quality guns in pairs.
I must admit he made a good point,,,
I do have a tendency to act in haste on occasion.
If I got a DSM-34 because it is "close enough",,,
I would probably regret it forever.
If I get this WZ-48 it will calm my fervor to own a true military training rifle,,,
And it won't take a huge chunk out of what I have saved up.
That will give me the breathing room to continue saving with a KKW in mind.
I must stay calm!
Thanks for the good advice my friend,,,
It did have an impact on my decision making process.
