Sometimes sporterizing an old military rifle is not such a bad thing. Take, for instance, this one produced by the Royal Prussian Arsenal at Erfurt immediately after WWI. The arsenal rebuilt quite a few into sporters using GEW98 rifles until it was shut down by the allies' disarmament commission in 1921. Whoever "E.K." was, he had a few bucks. Did he shoot bore and deer with this? or something more exotic like lion and gazelle?
