gew 88
The Gewehr 88 (commonly called the Model 1888 commission rifle) was a late 19th-century German bolt-action rifle, adopted in 1888.
The invention of smokeless powder in the late 19th century immediately rendered all of the large-bore black powder rifles then in use obsolete. To keep pace with the French (who had adopted smokeless powder "small bore" ammunition for their Lebel Model 1886 rifle) the Germans adopted the Gewehr 88 using its own new M/88 cartridge, which was also designed by the German Rifle Commission. The rifle was one of many weapons in the arms race between the Germanic states and France, and with Europe in general. There were also two carbine versions, the Karabiner 88 for mounted troops and the Gewehr 91 for artillery. Later models provided for loading with stripper clips (Gewehr 88/05s and Gewehr 88/14s) and went on to serve in World War I to a limited degree. Unlike many German service rifles before and after, it was not developed by Mauser but the arms commission, and Mauser was one of the few major arms manufacturers in Germany that did not produce Gewehr 88s.
Some old pitting, bore is ok but shows it age. Rifle is full engraved an set trigger is under a lb . My plans was to have it bored to 9x57. It's currently a .318 8x57. 250$

This rifle shoots very well with no problems what so ever. Thank you for looking...
8mm Mauser light loads. This is close to the original S Patrone loading. I no longer have a Gewehr 98 so I do not need this.
I have fired a couple hundred rounds, goes bang every time. This is good plinking ammo. Stripper clips work well. It is corrosive so you will need to run some water down...
