Well I picked up a VZ 24 today for 100 bucks, couldn't pass up that deal. It was made in 1937 and considering its 75 years old, I think its in pretty good shape. I'm in the process of cleaning it so after I finish cleaning it I will post up some pics.
I'm new to mausers this is my first one actually, is there anything I need to look out for such as checking the head space before I take it to the range so it doesn't blow up on me. And is there any type of ammo (8mm) to stay away from? I looked locally for ammo and no one carries it so I'll be ordering some shortly. Is there a specific way to get the bolt out of this gun because I cant seem to get it out.
Thanks for all the help.
