1912 Chilean Mauser

[Calif-Steve]

I had 2 cases of Turk 8mm, mostly 1942 stuff. In my Gew98 it is rough. This Turk stuff is a clone of the WWI 8mm round. Hard to believe the Germans used that round all war long. The little 98 Cav Carbine was withdrawn from service due to the huge muzzle flash. Yes, the Gew98's were set at 400 meters and they are true to the range. I had a buddy used his Czech 98/22 with Turk ammo and had to sight in a foot below the bull. And then there was the recoil. It was a give and take issue, but I like my Gew98's.
