Well, it is not in my mind to modify a good old K98k.   
There are tons of rifles out there which already have a scope mounted and will cost less than modifying such a rifle. 
But this is another story and going to far off.

I'd like to use this rifle for wildboar hunting - so the collectors worth is a minor issue.
Non the less, I want to own a pretty decent K98.
The stock looks pretty good which caught my attention.
All the other available rifles have have a much more "used" look.

This last one also looks interesting:

Well, if i would have been drafted i would have probably ended up at the 8.8cm Flak battery at the Zwölfaxing airbase where JU-87 and FW-58's where stationed, if i would've enlisted id probably ended up as pilot at the aviation school in Wiener Neustadt and then put back to Zwölfaxing to bomb Russians. Austrians actually rarely got sent to the front, only some few regiments which where combined with SS forces where actually sent into ground combat. Most Austrians where used for AA or pilot duty.

Actually all my relatives got drawn into the war, served and died at the Eastern Front.
My grandfather even was in Stalingrad and he got flown home due to his serious injuries.
I think the West Front would have been the better deal.

Shame on you trading a GIFTED NS2 version. Those are for free and should go out for a hug! ^^

I don't like digital hugs - feel kinda strange 

I felt a little bit sad about quenten's death and also about the fact that jon connington is diseased while Tyrion, which was one of my favourite characters until he murdered his father, is alive and well.

If he defeated Stannis, surely he would have Reek and Jeyne.

I don't think that Bolton's troops reached that far as they also lacked horses and Mors Umber was lurking 3 miles away of Winterfell and sent those two prisoners to Stannis. I hope Mors and Manderly took on those foul Freys and killed them.

Concerning the theories of Lighting about Jon and Daenerys:
I think Melisandre could revive Jon to make him the true "Reborn", but I don't think that he will team up with her.

I am eagerly awaiting Victarions story about his dragon hunt.

It is quite interesting to read those stories of your relatives and so I want to give you insight into my relatives fate:

My grandfather was drawn into the war, because the Austrians were forced to serve in the German army.  He went with the 6th Army towards the east and reached Stalingrad. There he was badly wounded:
* a shot in his neck
* a shot in his arm - his arm got stiff
* a shot in his upper leg - he limped
* grenade fragments in his face - from time to time some of them came down his nose and he collected them
An air ambulance, a JU52 transported him back to Germany and he was the last who got on that plane. He was moved around in Germany from one hospital to another.
After getting fit he got home to his farm and he lived his live.
The irony is that he died at the age of 56 due to a heart attack caused by heavy smoking.
He kepped smocking, although everybody warned him, because a cigarette saved his live once in the hell of Stalingrad.
I never got to know him, because he died in 1977 and I was born 14 years later.

My great-grandfather fought also on the eastern front and died 1941 at Kiev.
My great grandmother got his service book which was cowered with his blood when she was told that he died. His brother died 1944, also fighting at the eastern front.

This are only my closest relatives but my family lost  a lot of men in the war.
