Just thought I'd share some info and video of the ERMA .22 LR conversion kit and 1944 German Mauser k98 that I've had for a couple of years before I go trade it in on a few different guns. It was given to me by my mum's husband, who got it from his father-in-law, who brought it over here from his tour in Europe during WWII. As mentioned, if I had the original case and extra magazine, the conversion alone would be worth a chunk o' change, and if I had the original bolt, trigger guard, and base plate/spring for the Mauser, that also would be worth something. However, as-is, I have two semi-complete deals that are only valued at 0 tops. I've put 200 rounds through it, and it shoots straight, but the 5-round magazine kinda sucks and it tends to not want to feed the first round properly without a bit of help to guide it in. Never been a collector type and would rather have something I can actually shoot, so I'm trading it in on a Mosin-Nagant and a couple of other cheap guns. Don't mind the slurring speech and rambling talk - it was pretty late at night. UPDATE: I DO NOT HAVE THIS RIFLE/KIT ANYMORE. I sold it for a pretty fair price and picked up four other guns, which really got the ball rolling on my gun collection.
