You are lucky to have such an awesome grandfather! Was he the type to tell stories of his adventures? He sounds like someone with great taste for firearms.

He told a couple stories about the war. He was an MP with Timberwolves. He always downplayed what he did but told stories of tracers going by him, and his squad being pinned down in the basement while Mausers were stuck in the windows looking for them. He carried an STG44 while over there and loved to tell how he was on guard duty and an officer didn't want to give the password till he racked the bolt on the STG44. Password came out real quick at that point.

You know. . . firing any of these very old weapons can be extremely dangerous. I hereby volunteer to vet them you--all in the interest of safety of course. I promise to return them only once I am conpletely satisfied that they are safe.

I understand your concern, however as an experienced reloader, I am capable of producing reduced power loads and feel perfectly safe. I thank you for you concern and will keep you in mind when the low serial numbered SVT Russian Sniper is ready to make some noise!
