What piqued your interest about military surplus?

The K98k that Granddad kept on the gun shelf behind the front door of the old farm house (~400m NE of where I sit in my kitchen typing this).

"Uncle" Somebody brought it back from the ETO as a gift for him.

I found some proper 1944 German military ammo for it (the SAAMI stuff available was just sad ... and, yes, I know why; .318 vs .323) and the following summer (1968) he gave it to me. Dad & I got a Lee "Whack-a-Mole" Loader and started reloading for the thing ... and I was on my way.

I now have many milsurp firearms.

Still my favorite way to load for my milsurp bolt guns.
