Gewehr 98 Mauser Chapter 2

[@Deathwhisper2]

I always adored bolt action rifles. There is something really satisfying when you pull the bolt and see the round go live.

[@TheMagnumChannel]

How could anyone hate these gorgeous war horses!? What a nice piece. :)

[@knifekitty_ls]

imagine your family wiped out by these

[@hickok45]

Not a good reason to "hate" them, though. Lots of things I cannot afford, but I don't hate those things I cannot afford.

[@dd071798]

Well... our ex-enemys killed our allies with them, lol.

[@jeffallison09]

They're sentient and can act on their own?

[@Shamrockrancher]

My best bud says "What a nice piece..." all the time. But, that's Dallas. ;-)

[@semaroxx]

One of the most beautiful guns in my opinion!

[@connorkaimann348]

semaroxx definitley

[@Dragons997]

I think the kar98 is better

[@gasstationchips5874]

i personally like the argentine mauser 1891 better

[@robpfeifer4954]

Beautiful, greetings from Germany

[@folksurvival]

I hope the great German people regain control of their country one day.

[@tommyslab]

Moin moin

[@mats7492]

german people have full control. thanks for your concern.

[@folksurvival]

Mat S Lying to yourself and others is not going to help anything.

[@cpt.shmitt7387]

Mat S Bet you envy Hickok, he can have a rifle. You can't. Haha.

[@mediumslayer]

I have always wanted to own one of these. Beautiful piece of craftsmanship.

[@FunnyPrankLaughs]

mediumslayer absolutely! I'll be getting my hands on one of these beauts very soon! It will be the prize of my historical collection

[@saffordpastor]

I bought one when I was about 16 ....$40 back in '78.... traded it off for something else that I don't remember what it was. Dumb move.

[@user-ri4rl2md7y]

Whenever I come to this channel I feel all warm and fuzzy... like I am safe and with people that will never hurt or harm me.

[@powderedwater67]

Man, i remember a gunshow when i was a kid. Guy had a crate of Kar 98's for like $150 each iirc. Wish me and my dad could've got one.

[@powderedwater67]

Not sure, probably about as much as a mosin, somewhere around $300-$350. Probably a lot more now, seems I cant hardly find an SKS for under $400 these days, and thats a Norinco!

[@olekaw8765]

such a nice gun , 113 years old and still looks and performs like new , thanks for sharing Hickok45!

[@Sir.suspicious]

The german 98 was genius, completly got me

[@RemovableElm]

I appreciate the straw behind the targets. It's a small thing, but it really helps them stand out.

[@nathanchampion3809]

I enjoyed you Mauser presentation due to my owning a '93 7x57 Mauser Made in 1898. Such smooth actions, my Remington 700 can't compae. I sporterized it a college class as the instructor gave me advice and direction. I also viewed your store and from all that I can agree that whenever I encounter someone that enjoys firearms as much as myself, the conversation can endure for hours. LOL. Good exercise for personal communication as well as sharing and/or augmenting knowledge, making friends and furthering the interest in a basic fundamental of our great nation.

[@TheRealDill93]

I feel like Hickok could be my Dad or grandfather. Just a good man who would always have some great logical advice.

[@07zx14White]

All the years I've watched this channel and all of the wonderful firearms I have so much to comment about, and I always end up wanting to let John know that I appreciate his musical apparel. Damageplan my friend!!! Big firearms industry advocate for my whole life (38 years).

[@apb2887]

I own dozens of firearms and some of them are quite exspensive, but out of all of them the one I enjoy shooting the most is my WW2 German K-98 Mauser. Made in 1944 and shoots like it was made in 2004

[@amtrakjohn]

Adam- I agree. They're the quintessential Bolt Actions; the original Mausers made of Krupp steel. The real deal-- look at some modern rifles like the Ruger M77s, some CZs, etc. and see the lineage, all started by the G-98 and K-98. (Also the US Springfield orig. .30/06 bolt action was right up there too.) Thanks Hickok, for Chapter 2.

[@bangbang1520]

Beautiful gun, nasty bullet.

[@rcheek207]

BangBang nasty is good or bad way

[@rcheek207]

wild bill that's what I thought

[@matthewstoddart3552]

It's nasty if get hit with it.

[@idiamin1457]

Delighted to see a chapter 2.! I'm lucky enough to have a 1917 Oberndorfer. Iron sight sniping at its finest. I honestly doubt ill ever need another rifle. One hundred years old. Just amazing.

[@sword111119]

I just bought one of these a couple months ago, and it looks and shoots amazing. Definitely my favorite firearm.

[@markstroh7789]

Always good to have a new vid, but when it is an old rifle that is even better! Its nice to see how all the new stuff on the market is doing, but when you get out an old rifle, shotgun, or pistol I am glued to the screen!

[@sergeantbigmac]

Man look at the power of that Mauser round! I dont think ive seen anything else punch plates that hard.

[@Gungeek]

you must be joking ;)

[@batickell]

Would love to see videos on the MAS-36 and MAS-49!

[@johnadams5489]

I love Mauser action rifles. I have a couple of German made Mausers, a CZ550 308 Mauser action, an absolutely beautifully made Zastava Mauser action rifle. I routinely shoot a pre WW1 Mauser action rifle, made in Oberndorf, Sporter Stock, Fluted barrel, chambered in 30-06. Great shooting rifle, deadly accurate. The Receiver looks and feels almost new, considering it's age, amazing. They are all well made, the Mauser action is the best in the world.

[@iggyeo6458]

my favorite weapon. 98 and 98k are beautiful weapons with masterful bolt actions.

[@FishFind3000]

I watched the first video yesterday night. Perfect timing that the chapter two would be out the next morning...

[@jonathanrogers3723]

Morning every one from Houston Texas

[@InfernalLeo777]

Jonathan Rogers r u in the water

[@Andi6678]

german quality :-)

[@diplexnormal3353]

Absolutely. I don’t own a German Gewehr 98 myself but I do own a Persian Mauser 98/29, which is almost literally the same rifle in quality except for some minor differences. it doesn’t have the Lange Vizier rear sight, it’s doesn’t have a black bolt and the front sight is slightly different (if has sturdy front sight guard prongs). The Mauser 98 is a absolute beast to own and I know why Hickok 45 has a rubber butt pad, it’s not to “make the gun a little longer”, it’s because it kicks like a mule.

[@americanpatriot2310]

its amazing how scrunched hickok is with that rifle its huge!

[@leatherwood1370]

Nothing better than breakfast and a new hickok45 video

[@Sanji-bg8pz]

Greetings from germany. Hope you will Do more vids with german weapons 😃

[@King_Sok]

Two bottles, one bullet. Hickok45 is a .. legend!

[@josh.nalepa6596]

Me and my dad broke out the kar98 this year sometime so I could should it(never shot it before). My dad hip fired it on the first shot to make sure it still works(hasn't been shot in a while), after he shot it he had the biggest smile on his face, he calls it the cannon since it's a deep boom. When I shot it it felt weird since I only shot his 30-30 Winchester(biggest caliber I shot before it). It felt like it had more recoil, but easier to control and felt way better in the shoulder than the 30-30. I asked my dad if I could have it since I love it so much(was his father's, then he gave it to my dad), and he said eventually. Next time I go shooting were taking it out again for sure. Wish my grandpa was still around since he'd shoot with us. It's a gun that always brings a smile on your face

[@Warterdesmanne]

Really enjoy your early morning posts. Great for the drive in to work.

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Awesome review on the this 98 Mauser bolt action rifle hickok45. I want one of these rifles bad.

[@LCP1988]

I own a fair number of modern hunting rifles but have still hunted the most with either the lee enfeild or m1 garland, there is just something special about it

[@markchoate9021]

What a beauty and excellent comments about cost of ammo. These are classics and you don't have to run a hundred rounds through one to appreciate the machining quality and workmanship. Mine has a small impression of the "Nazi eagle" tapped into the side of the barrel. However, when you are using one and then you switch over to the M1 Garand, you realize quickly how the Mauser met it's match in the M1. That smooth and rapid Semi auto firing of the M1 (followed by the trademark "clink") was a devastating adversary for the Mauser or the Mosin Nagant, etc. Thanks.

[@wolfpack4694]

Love the big splat mark from those big rounds! Ouch! Would not want to be on the receiving end of that one! I got to shoot one years ago and was amazed at the accuracy.

[@jackgranzow126]

I watched both videos. I inherited a very nice example from my Grandpa. From the first video, I had the same cosmoline issue Hickok mentioned. What a pain it was! I got it all off eventually. Patience and decent solvents seemed to do the trick. The action is really slick. I have shot other versions of the rifle and it's just one of the designs that is really hard to improve. You can make them smoother (my 1911s come to mind) but out of the box, mil spec is pretty damn good.

[@jameshargrave8461]

Beautiful rifle I’ve shot my dads 1940 and 1941 Mauser’s and they are so much fun to shoot

[@Maddawwg45]

great rifle id love to own one btw that was a terrific teaching moment to show ppl that is a CLIP and not a magazine

[@amandamyers5169]

Great video Hickok. I really like The Mauser 98. I'd love to have one as nice as this in my collection. Very gorgeous rifle...

[@Ksgamer103]

I just bought one of these yesterday. Cannot wait to get it!

[@swkohnle08]

Pretty Mauser I always look forward to Hickok45 Videos.

[@walterpalmer2749]

Hickok, you have that gun in top shape. The action works like butta'.

[@pennydome5051]

Chapter 2 of Hickok's video it's like the second part of a thriller movie: you want to know if the bad guy will be killed!

[@tsumugi1654]

So much respect for you, you don't take enough credit for your god like shooting skill!

[@3ducs]

Don't have one yet, it's on the list. My favorite LGS will notify me when things like this come in. At the end of the vid you ran down all the reasons I like to collect firearms, none of them are sinister.

[@333rdAlchemist]

Beautiful weapon, phenomenal examination as always, keep on truckin

[@FenceDaGreat]

Smoking pot to celebrate then going bowling. Hickok you are the BIG LEBOWSKI! Jeff Bridges would be proud =)

[@warmachine_1396]

I bought one for 200.00. The catch....it's been sporterized. It is tasteful though. Original stock with some reprofiling with checkering added. Barrel has been shortened. She's still wearing her factory sights which is a huge plus in my opinion. Very light and handy rifle. 1916 Spandau manufacture. Shoots great!!! I did have to install a Wolff extra power firing pin spring to set off the hard primers in my 50s dated Yugoslavian 8mm but it was easy.

[@dougbower9479]

Great video, keep up the good work. That G98 looks like a very smooth loading and fine shooting rifle, although you always make things look easy and you are killing my wallet!

[@demomanchaos]

Best thing about the Mauser is that damn near every bolt-action rifle you grab is one. Damn near every bolt-action that isn't specifically a Lee Einfield or a Mosin uses a Mauser action. There have been more Mauser bolt-actions produced than even AK pattern rifles.

[@richardjohnson8988]

I own one just like it and I love it , great shooting gun , accurate to

[@Brandon-pz8eq]

Liked it the first time, and liked it the second time just as much!

[@احمدعبدالله-و7ح9ص]

He's such a great comedian, his timing is impeccable LOL

[@delfromlbny1125]

I am now a subscriber! Talon sent me! Loved how you did the intro to his latest video!

[@MoltoSlice]

this is one of the best rifles ever!

[@rec0il_179]

Clicked because of battlefield 1 and of course because it's Hickok45!!

[@Bootzey73]

Nice shooting Hickok! Keep the vids coming.

[@isohelss4788]

hickok is more of a badass at such an old age, while im over hear sitting on my lazy ass watching videos on my pc

[@GregoryMcCarthy123]

Wow it is in absolutely beautiful condition

[@stephenkrall7609]

I just love it when you smoke pot. Cinder is a good one too.

[@nicolaj990]

beautiful historical rifle.

[@liamsnider1467]

Man you know that gun is LOUD as hell! Must feel nice though

[@skip123davis]

i have a beloved swedish mauser that i like better than the g98. the ammo is even more expensive than the standard, g98, but i agree: i take it out once a year and light off a few rounds, just for giggles. so much fun to shoot! that makes it a special treat, and it IS my favorite firearm, but don't tell the others, or they'll get envious :)

[@RickNethery]

Beautiful Rifle Mr Hickok

[@akstar99]

💯 agree my dad frowns about me liking 10mm but his .45 ACP ammo is like 10$ more! But sometimes the same price

[@bwayne40004]

Ol' Hickok was feeling feisty today trying to trip up the on line intelligentsia.

[@sidekickerbrohoof9584]

I want one of these so bad, but i have no money to buy one right now. One day i'll get my hands one of theses rifles.

[@terminator572]

Man, you and my grandpa would've been best friends.

[@MrIkesimba]

Love my 24/47 Mauser. I just wish reasonably priced 8mm surplus was still around.

[@Larry342516]

Beautiful rifle. Would make a great deer rifle. Thanks for the video.

[@jamescallahan1198]

I had the chance to buy a Brazilian order 1908 Gewehr 98 in the most mint condition I've ever seen a surplus gun in for $1400. That gun still haunts my dreams

[@TheMrarthas]

Awesome!! Chapter 2!!!

[@ahmadalhamad1]

One of the Most Beautiful Guns😍

[@matthobbs2740]

Super smooth or what.

[@unapeppina4824]

Wish these were considered antiques.

[@sergeantbigmac]

I kick myself for not buying a genuine 1897 made model 97 Winchester shotgun when it came up for sale locally.

[@tierfuehrer2]

How nice to see you putting some clipper strips of ammo into this rifle. :=)

My favourite bolty, so slender and the curves are just right!

[@butchschultz3182]

Thank you for calling it a Mouser! Now if I could just get you to call a pump a slide action.

[@hickok45]

You won't have much luck with that one; I don't even KNOW anybody who calls a pump shotgun a "slide action" shotgun. :-)

[@butchschultz3182]

Hickok45, blame that on my instructor in 5th Special Forces Group. If I called a Mauser a bolt or a slide action a pump or a semi-auto an automatic I got reprimanded for it.... Perfectionists you know.
