I don't want one bad enough to drop $1500!! At least I don't think I do...
I use my K98k as a target shooter and it works well. It was cheap, and I ended up spending about what I spent on the gun on upgrades, plus it takes a fair bit of maintenance but I absolutely love it. Love it.
As far as getting a powder M1 Garand, that would be much too loud!
I'm also well aware of the privacy concerns with Facebook and I don't mean to ignore the others' comment wrt to age verification, just trying to keep things on topic. Though I guess that's a bit of a fail considering i'm talking about my Mauser in a thread I myself started about an M1 Garand!!
Sorry 'bout that
