Picked up a nice Mauser 98k Russian Capture today. It is in great shape.
Also got some old 8mm ammo with it too - not sure I want to shoot this stuff.

Quoted:
Just keep the ammo for collecters purposes. It is loaded for machineguns, it might be a little hot for a rifle. no such thing as hot machine gun ammo however, don't shoot that ammo, the powder has gone bad and the inside of the casings are corroded as well as some surface rust on the outside, ask me how i know 
the casing will split lengthwise if it goes off at all |

Where did you get it, and how much did you pay? |

Quoted:
MG ammo is usually loaded lighter than standard ammo. MG ammo is loaded heavier than regular ammo. That's why alot of 9mm Luger and 7.62 tokarev are said to be ONLY used in subguns, not in pistols because of excessive pressure. The same is suposedly true with this German 8mm ammo. |

It is just standard repacked 8mm ammo from the WWII period, why it is marked for MG, I don't know, the guys over on gunboards can explain the hot MG ammo thing I bought 300 rounds of the stuff back in 2007 and shot all of it that looked good on the outside but it would constantly split lengthwise and I also had a number of duds, just all around bad ammo that shouldn't be shot |
