In this video I show the Luftwaffe contract rifle from Steyr, the G.12/34 also incorrectly known as the G29(ö).

I’m really starting to appreciate these weird, second tier German WW2 rifles, they’re very interesting and under appreciated. I used to have a German/Hungarian G98/40 that I foolishly sold cheap around 2012….I REALLY wish I still had that rifle.

[@gkyfutfktxkd]

The hollowed out recoil lug might be for the bolt take down since it doesn’t have the usual stock disc.

[@ahmet42selim65]

That works nice idea 💡

[@chongli5020]

Had a buddy I shoot with ask me if I wanted to buy a mauser. He knows I like a lot of milsurps so he he brings me the 660 code and I thought it looked different. Thanks to this video. Everything checked out and is a g12/34. Mismatched bolt

[@LLPcan]

I have a Mexican Mauser rifle in 7mm that is made by Steyr and the Mexican crest is stamped with the year 1910.

That's one tough rifle to find if you are looking for one...especially all matching. Too bad about the bolt and yes you are correct...the bolt is different than the standard 98k bolt. Most people don't know that. Glad you found it.

[@txtifosi]

Looks like a VZ24 but with a turned down bolt handle…. There’s differences in the nose cap, but it really has a VZ24 look to it.

[@maverickpaladin4155]

Also, it'd make a pretty cool video for you to do a brief rundown of each of the firearms on your display wall...just a thought.

[@pzkpfw2310]

Wow never seen these before. I just got a g24t which was the Wehrmacht version of the Vz24

[@rigovega7115]

Beautiful. I was just reading about this rifle on Olsons book. Great videos.

[@desertpiggiehunters9790]

Awesome video. Learned alot. Thank you.

[@MilsurpWorld]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@redriverledlights8156]

I have a 1938 660 styer luftwaffe mauser serial number 1627 numbers matching so not certain your information is correct. Luftwaffe mauser are stamped 3 times like the stock on the receiver.

[@StevenRecknagelMusic]

Now that’s an awesome rifle I’d love to find one Great information as always, it’s appreciated

[@ar6985]

Hens teeth.

[@HircineDaWolf]

cool its like a mauser 96 crossed with a vz24

[@anthonyhayes1267]

I too, have a Matt that helps me find milsurp.

[@brianbaird3]

I found and bought a yugo M24/47 4 weeks ago

[@maverickpaladin4155]

Interesting how your Austrian rifle's production dates roughly mirror the Finnish Winter War. I wonder if there's any connection.

[@Jordan-hl4jn]

Friend of mine from Texas bought one of these a few years ago had some stock issues but it was listed as Spanish Air Force rifle lol. He got a really good deal for it. The very few I have seen for sale start at around $4000 and up. I'm curious if you own a G24t and a G98/40 as well? I saw your video on the G33/40 so you have that one down. Of course I also like collecting the German depot captured stuff too!

[@MilsurpWorld]

I have a 29/40, 33/40, and 98/40. I need a G24(t) still.

[@Jordan-hl4jn]

Good for you did not know you had the G98/40 already. I did own a Polish Radom Crest 29/40 kriegsmarine marked stock and disk at one time. Sold it to a friend of mine. The G24t can be tough to locate as well especially still matching. Of course you can get lost in German captured equipment as well! German depot marked R35 lebels, Italian rifles, Danish and Norwegian krags, Greek, dutch, Polish, and so many more

[@MilsurpWorld]

It was a goal of mine to get all the XX/40 rifles. I've moved from collecting German rifles to German pistols recently.

[@KAI19772011]

@@MilsurpWorld hey g24(t) sometimes appears, do yo have got a Ross rifle, that Canadian WWI gun?

[@cheesenoodles8316]

Nice rifle. Any details on the correct sling or bayonet?

[@GayActorMichaelDouglas-zd2fo]

What are your sources on the Latin American contract rifles? Only one I know about is Ball

[@MilsurpWorld]

Depends, if not Ball then Vanderlinden, Webster, or Nielsen.

[@dangerousfreedom4965]

How much did you get it for?$

[@simonloveless8924]

Mauser 98 good gun.

[@HSTvids357]

The nose cap almost looks p17ish to me

[@cheairsaguilar1999]

Do you mean the M1917?

[@ahmet42selim65]

Löved it what a unique detailed rifle I havent ever seen anything like that im sure everbody here is a luftwaffe fan in some way I have seen this video he says its a luftwaffe too but doesnt seem alike kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZivmYWEbteZqpI And a funny fact ö isnt a o it sounds like the sound when u throw up.

[@MilsurpWorld]

There's a weird line with English speaking collectors where some things we have to pronounce perfectly in the other language but some things we do not, like the ö.

[@ahmet42selim65]

@@MilsurpWorld im sure it isnt from the ones you have to pronounce perfectly but the hardest thing to pronounce might be the M1898 "Seitengewehr" bayonet i hope to see it
