Something that appeals to your eye!

I've grown to like them, but haven't found a good WWI infantry rifle yet. They were everywhere back when I didn't like 'em.

The fixed sight models do well by putting the top of the front sight in the very bottom of the rear sight notch at 100yd/m. "Normal" sight alignment works at roughly 300m.

Placed side by side its easy to see that the metalwork is about 3/4 to 7/8 scale of most other rifles. Makes them relatively light - which is good if you're having to lug it about all day.

Good bores are esp. important in the 6.5mm versions if you intend on shooting them.

Most 7.35mm M38s went to Finlandicon and will be "SA" in a box marked.

Just picked up 5 boxes (one never opened!) of 7.35 ammo on clips a couple of days ago. It turns up- you just never know when!
