This is just something to contemplate, as I've never had a Mauser, but am impressed by what I read about Czechs and Yugos, other than the sights.
But because of higher 8 mm ammo prices (than 7.62x54R) and the difficulty finding economical 8 mm bullets online, this might be a silly idea.
Other than watching the yellow MN 44 flames, which surplus rifle type do you enjoy more for blasting bricks/jugs etc, or is money the only issue? MN ammo might be available for a while at these very good prices.
Hungary won't be using the Euro until about 2011 (we were told during our trip), Poland, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria maybe later.
Will the murky Euro/British arms control organizations try to stop these countries' ammo exports to us?
They have stopped this in some other countries by paying them to destroy not only vast numbers of surplus semi-auto and bolt-action rifles, but also huge heaps of ammo. South Africa is the latest.
