    Opinions on Russian captures

    Kind of follow up on my range report.
    Two Young guys probably in their mid- 20s brought a couple German Mauser's to the range.
    One of them had a Russian capture probably the nicest one I've ever seen. The other one was Miss matched war time bring back.

    I know when I first started collecting curio relics . The Russian captures were some what frowned upon. But after seeing one at the range today. ( and having a few of my own )

    I'm thinking that they should be given the same respect that Miss mashed Finn captures have

    My only Russian capture is a P-38 with a mismatched barrel. It is still history and it shoots great. If the price is not outlandish I would definitely get one for what it is, history that I don't mind taking to the range.

    I tried to push the envelope, but found that it was stationery.

    Have you heard about the new corduroy pillows? They're making head lines!

    the RC's started out cheap and then immediately shot through the roof . Im starting to see examples in the $400-800 range.
