Wow, that's nice! Do you shoot it?
I got repro chargers from Italy earlier this year.
Not shooting it yet. Holding onto it as an obsolete calibre for now. When I'm retired and have the time to get serious about reloading I might put it on ticket and see how it goes bang :-)
The repro charger looks good, I quite fancy getting one with some inert rounds just to see how it would have cycled. Can you ping me details of where you picked it up?

Since my last posting here my G98 collection has grown to three rifles. The Top one is a 1907 DWM made example and the other two are 1915 Amberg made rifles with close serial numbers. All three are in remarkably good condition for their age.
I've also added to my SMLE collection both live and deactivated. I'm not a fan of deactivated examples personally but i occasionally work in film/TV and i wouldn't trust most actors with a stick let alone a rifle.
From the top:
1903 LSA Mark I upgraded to mark III
1916 LSA Mark III
1916 Enfield Mark III*
1918 BSA Mark III*
1918 BSA Mark III*
1939 BSA Mark III
on the side are a pair of 1960's 2A1 rifles and a pair of Wooden denix replica's.

Not a front-line rifle, but saw a variety of uses during the First World War by the US, Great Britain and France including mine clearing, harbour patrol, motorcycle messengers and signal corp.
