Packet loading rarity

I apologize if I am filling out this section wrong. I am new to this. I don't believe that the comment stating that the original packet loading variation is rare is correct. Many Gew 88s were converted to either the 88/05 variation prior to WWI, or the much more rushed 88/14 variation after the start of the war. Both of those no longer used the mannlicher style en-block clip. But the vast majority of the rifles were left in their original state. Many had already been sold off as surplus to China and countries in South America. Most of those rifles were not modified, and still use the packet system.
