Doug, did those guys in the blind buy their gun on gunbroker? Yeah JR, it was posted in two places, but they figured it out and bought it......NO FFL.....Shipping from Europe was not as they were told though, paid an extra 1K in airport fees, some assembly required.... ........but they are members of the 'big honker' gun club and are really on top of their game.....LOL Hey skeettx it looks like the local kiddie park or petting zoo...?....And through the smoke it looks like what appears to be a white swan....?...

Wow, some folks will jump through hoops to get a special gun. Hope they checked first if it can handle steel shot.

I'm wondering if it has a carved fence or not and if it will handle 11,000 pound pressures.

Doug, that German 88 made more GI fox hole conversions than any single weapon in the Nazi arsenal. Dad had nightmares about that gun during and after the war. It hit before it was heard because of its supersonic speed. Gil

Since posting this Doug I bet Feinstein and Bloomberg are going to put it under an assault weapons ban. There go our hopes and dreams of the Ultimate Waterfowl gun.

It hit before it was heard because of its supersonic speed. Gil Gil, yes the German 88 was undoubtably the best field piece on the field on either side during that war. Copied by everyone after the war. GI's talked more about the damn German 88's than any other piece, for good reason. Best,
Doug

It had to be as good or better when captured pieces were used by the Allies against the Germans.

Then they figured out how to mount that damn thing in a turret of a tank. My Dad and his brothers always admired and feared the German 88s and their MG42!!
