When is the ATF going to let M98's be shipped by individuals as sporting rifles? I found a M98 with a 7x57 sporter barrel, boy-oh-boy would that shoot nice in Oklahoma!
The Nazis are no longer in power, and the M98 is not a main battle weapon...........although I could think of worse rifles to take to Iraq.

I think you can apply for an import/export permit from the BATFE. best bet would be to go to their web site. They seem to have all the regulations posted there. maybe you can even E-mail them for specifics.

Thanks Paul......................I'll give them a try now. I think a 7x57 would fare well on the wide open areas in the SOONER State!

I believe a 7x57 will fare well anyplace. That and the 6,5x55 are my favorites.
I can't answer your question about the '98's. Sounds like you are also confused about the curio and antique nomemclature as I am. Some times it's a curio and antique and sometimes it ain't.
Take Paul's advice and read about it.
Are you contemplating coming back stateside?
Best wishes, Bill

Football and hunting seasons, sounds like a good reason for a sabbatical to me. :D
Course I don't think logically like most folks. I guess thats why I'm 70 and still haven't figured out what I want to be when I grow up. :( I keep trying different things.
I loved Germany but I felt like a traitor when I was there because my Grandparents and Parents worked so hard to get away from there. I can't imagine some of the things they had to do, even though they told me about some of them.
Best wishes, Bill

Dang Jon, just loadup and come home :)
I agree with BillyD, 7x57 should be fine here, and I am coming to liek the 6.5x55 more and more.

The only thing keeping me from going back is waiting for some sort of Government job, I went through waaaaay too much poop to leave the system I tried so hard to get in to...........:(
I've applied for jobs at:Tinker, Sill, Altus and the ammo center in McAlester
