My turk is all 1942, overall I think I got a crappy batch. 1 in about 20 rounds won't chamber. Also about 2/3's of em don't have the bullets pressed in strait.
I sorted out the ones that looked good and managed to shoot 1" and 1.25" groups @ 50 yards off a sandbag. I'll probibly yank the bullets out of the rest and reload them with something else. If I ever buy reloading gear.
I think the problem with the turk is the quality varries greatly. Some people love it, others are afraid to even shoot it. If you can inspect the batch you're buying its a great deal. Otherwise... its a crapshoot.
Also, I know $400-500 is about the going rate for an all matching german K98. So, you're price on the bosnian probibly wasn't too bad.
The problem with these old guns is there are simply too damn many of em. I've got 2 mosins and i need about 20 more to round out my collection. I've only got 1 mauser, so that means I need about 50 more.
If I had the money to buy them all I'd have to move into a bigger place to store them.
