What's the intended use of the rifle you finally get? There's a world of difference between a Mini14 and a K98. Actually more than a world. Pretty much a complete civilization and time warp.

Oh what fun we could have together !!

I’m in the right seat. You’re in the left.

We put our seats all the way back.

Pull (quickly) the aircraft into a near vertical stall. Pull the power to idle.

At the same time we shove the doors all the way open.

I hold the right door locked open on the strut stop with my right foot on the door handle. (I suggest being barefoot.)
You do the same with the left door.

The aircraft falls over into a nose down dive with the worlds biggest speed brakes.

Not much for empennage surface controls as they are covered by the door(s) wake, but a full aileron spin always adds to the scream factor.

Super important that we count to three together before we let the doors slam.

Say when !!

If he’s talking a Mauser K98. You sure got that right.

I was wondering about that. I'd never heard of a K98 until this thread. That thing looks nothing of the Mini-14 sort.

What you guys think about old Mosin Nagant rifles?


A friend has 2 and is modifying one very extensively. It looks good, and it fairly cheap to do stuff to.

Yeah, that sounds pretty crazy. Uhh, I am going to have to wait until summer when I would have more time to attempt something like that.


How long have you been flying?

Fun, and enjoyment of owning a part of history. I don't want to have to gut what I kill so I doubt I'll hunt with it.

Honestly the history behind a gun is far more interesting to me than the actualy weapon itself. Last time I was at the Cabela's super store I was walking through the weapons section with my buddy, who had a 20th century history class he needed help on. So I started with a 1903 Springfield and gave him a 20th century history on war. I picked up a K98...now this isthe gun tha the Germans used to...a Lee Enfield...this is a special weapon the British...M1 Garand, etc.

(Thanks for bringing that up, BTW. )

I'm to cheap to drop 2 G's on a good M14, and I figure if the Mauser was good enough for the Germans to defeat most of the armies in Europe, and take over North Africa its good enough for me. Plus its German so its really, really nice. The Germans are very good at making guns.

My friend got an A on his term paper...which was about 20th century warefare. I told him I would write it for him off the top of my head in about an hour if he paid me with a couple of Ketal 1 handles. He wrote it himself, damn.

I have Guderian and Rommal quotes I wanted to use! I was going to paint a fascinating possible connection between Guderian, Hans Von Luck and several others to the 1944 bomb plot.

Have a great night!

Actually they are two + hours late.
Yes, from Canada. A gal from the show Corner Gas.
(I think that's what they said.)

Yes, I have a GT. But she’s coming here for a flight in John & DJs Mustang.

Mine is black. Might not be a good idea to race the runway at night (regardless) with a flight coming in. That would make the tabs for sure. Not someplace I want my name.
