The closest would be my svwMB, Mauser made K98, made the second week of April 1945. The French captured Obendorf the 3rd week of April. Picked up by a major of Engineers from a capture pile. Don't know if he ever shot it. I don't know if Ray ever shot it. I've put 40 rounds out of it in 5 years.
Nice stuff,
As much as i would like to believe every military rifle was test fired and sighted before reaching GI i just dont think thats what happened. Possible pressure testing.
i also like to think that if the factories had the man power to pump out all these rifles testfiring would probably be one of the easiest parts to get done.
