Interesting theory, I would hope that people on here are a little more serious....

Wow! Quite a remarkable thread. I just got back to it, after initially reading only the first 3-4 posts. Here I'm thinking: "1: Fantastic deal. 2: No big lead up and the inevitable delays followed by all the bitching about why they arent here yet. A smooth non-dramatic deal by Marstar. ....and yet, somehow John gets crapped on!
Just hilarious! John, i am laughing with you, not at you on this one. Even when things go tickety-boo, somehow you attract all the weirdos like a fly to shiitte.
So...when do you expect the M59's to be in.
Bur, seriously; what kind of Mausers? Yugo's or some special surprises in the batch?
I dislike having a battle of wits when my opponent comes unarmed....it just seems so unsportsmanlike!
Hey John,...or anyone.
I am hoping to get one from the second order and I really enjoy shooting irons. If I want the irons elevation to work correctly what gr. of 8mm mauser do I need to shoot?
Thanks!
The Yugo's made 198 gr bullets for a long time, so im guessing get 200 gr bullet. Some rifles shoot different too. I guess you will have to try a few different bullets. 150 gr, 170's, 195, but most likley it will like the 170-200 class.
Any ammo anticipated to be brought in to support these rifles or am I going to have another potential safe queen?
Use 196 gr European manufacture FMJ should be the same ballistics as the German Army load. Don't use North American manufacture, as many of them seriously under load this round (for liability/safety reasons) because they're still scared of one getting chambered in the old .318" bore 8mm mausers.
You will also notice that all shoot about 8 to 10" high at 100 m. This is the way they were sighted in. If you want a point of aim impact, you'll need to get/make a higher front sight. I had a welder "build up" one of mine, and then we filed/ground it to a nice fine point. It really made a difference group wise as well. Hope this helps.
