Kar98K vs G98 Classic German Mausers!

[@tomw.6511]

My 1914-dated G98 is a WWI bringback by my great-grandfather who found it in a bush in France. He told me put a stocking over it and said it was his Springfield as he took it on the troop ship going back to the U.S.

[@gratefulguy4130]

Oh nice

[@hernandovillamarinbuenaven7476]

Very clever!!.🏆💪

[@stevemccarty6384]

My great uncle Forrest was an infantryman in WWI. He told me that he had a "long barrelled Luger". He said that I could have it if I drove out to his home in Sweet Springs Missouri. I was living in Northern Calif at the time. So I jumped into my orange Ford Pinto and drove out there. He met me at his front door with the Luger in his hand. It was mint. Looked bran new. Had two clips. He also gave me his Colt 1911 and his web gear! I wore that gear years later when I was a soldier. I even qualified with that old Colt, even with its antique fine sights. I still have the guns. Really wonderful old war horses.

[@tonig.1546]

Made me remember a conversation I had with my great-grandpa. He was adament that his old Kar98k was still in his barn somewhere, however we never found it. Perhaps it’s stashed in another spot we can find eventually.

[@chartreux1532]

As a German, i always love when Herr Hickok covers any German Guns. Always fun to see Americans enjoy any of our Guns (but also sometimes when they hate some). What does a good Kar98K go for in the USA anyway? Here in Germany you can sometimes even get a really good one from WW2 for around 600-800 Euros (so like 650 USD - 870 USD). Of course the ones that were used in WW2 specifically get a higher Price. Others before 1939 go for cheaper usually. Just curious and i'm sure you got a damn ton of them in the USA Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps

[@justacentrist4147]

A pre WW2 k98k in good condition is 2000$ in Canada and Russian capture is like 1200$ or more they are not cheap guns over here. Anything WW2 German commands a very high price in the Americas.

[@chartreux1532]

@@justacentrist4147 That's interesting! I almost assumed North America has more Examples than we do here, but apparently not. But i'm happy to see they are that popular! I used my Grandfathers K98k he used in WW2 for hunting here in Bavaria and it never let me down despite it having been all knocked up fighting on the Eastern Front!

[@attilathedank4809]

​@@chartreux1532The other type of Mausers go a little lower than 1k USD. Like yugo mausers (which to me is a 98k in 98AZ clothing) or turkish mausers made during and post ww3 are from 400 to 1000 dollars in range

[@rainbow2710]

Greetings from Malta. I am a collector and have both Kar98 and Gew98 which I purchased from auctions, mainly from Germany. I have a Gew 98 wpthat saw combat in both WWI and WWII.

Love Mauser 98, have 3 K98 and 3 Mauser 98 action rifles, have watched all Hickok45 Mauser rifles videos before many times.

[@rongarrett1366]

The Springfield 1903 was a copy of the Mauser, built under license.

[@Andrew-McCormick]

copy of a spanish mauser 93. paid royalties to Mauser for the action and clip. DWM (parent company) then butted in demanding more money, gets interrupted by the great war. mid-war the US seizes the patent (warcrime). postwar in court, it is determined that while the US did not owe DWM money for the design, they were made to pay hundreds of thousands for seizing the patent.

Great channel! Always protect your 1A & 2A , unlike us here in Canada.

[@rongarrett1366]

Both sides in the Mexican Revolution carried Mausers. The 1893 Mauser was standard issue for the Mexican Army but Zapata and Villa's soldiers managed to get a hold of them.

[@larrynason8716]

My Dad was infantry in WW2 ,he carried an M1 Garand. And he told me after a forced 30 mile march you REALLY appreciated a lighter carbine. His division spent over a month at the front, seldom two days in the same place.

[@garyh7949]

Dad brought back a K98K after WW II. Of course it had the duffel bag cut and the stock was pure white unfinished. He never fired it, but after he passed, I bought some ammo and shot it. Unfortunately it does not have matching serial numbers.

[@MrDjay46]

Although likely just a few rounds, did the duffel cut area of stock stay intact? I have a duffel cut K98 and have been wanting to try a few rounds.

[@garyh7949]

@@MrDjay46 I epoxied the cut part back together in 1977. It has held up all this time and the repair is not visible as it is under the metal sling collar.

[@AllAboutSurvival]

The Kar98K, with its shorter barrel, definitely improved maneuverability, but the original G98 still holds a unique place in history.

[@steventurner6045]

[@clutchcargo1239]

BRNO VZ 98 N with a German barrel, reciever, and action. Laminated stock, matching numbers... It's a shooter, but it seems more like a hunting rifle than anything else.

[@PalKrammer]

Yes!!! At 11:36 You are one of the very few shooters whom I've seen who operate the bolt handle properly! Those guys who grab the bolt as if it were a doorknob are actually slowing themselves down.

[@peterv.a360]

Hello Hickok45 Very nice mausers Cool 👍🏼💥💥💥

[@DK-gy7ll]

Rifles got ridiculously long and powerful at the end of the 19th Century because military leaders thought that having weapons with an effective range greater than those of your opponent would win battles. But it got to the point where the rifles were capable of ranges far beyond what any soldier could realistically achieve in combat, and over time they finally were made more practical in terms of size and power.

[@WALTERBROADDUS]

The long length may also be due to Bayonets still being in vogue tactically.

[@Xcitebike]

I have a 1891 Argentine Mauser made around 1904, shoots like a new one

[@dougshelton69]

[@rachelsatlas]

Biggest irony of history...the Israeli k98

[@cameronmcconnachie7794]

I got a nice 98K that’s a numbers matching gun. The story I got on it from my WW2 veteran neighbor is that he got shot by this rifle on Omaha Beach. Then he took it for a war trophy

[@danielbeiersr3642]

Another reason for the longer length of early rifles was when you added the longer bayonet you now had a lance for bayonet charges!

The follow-on mausers couldn't change much from the original 98k was such a perfect design how could you improve on them. But no matter what causer made a perfect rifle Germany hit it out of the park with these weapons only the garand could have surpassed then but not by much.

Guns like guitars have become idolatry - everybody has the "I know what I got" mentality when demanding $900 for an old beat up mismatched bolter. No more $29.95 Turkish Mausers, etc...

[@rayhollingsworth2588]

Isn’t the 8mm compatible to 30-06?

[@jimperry4420]

I was told the Garand could shoot the 8mm but the Mauser couldn’t shoot the 30-06. Hopefully someone can clarify that.

[@rolandtembo8243]

They are very similar rounds in size. Though the 30-06 has a slightly bigger bullet case giving it a bit more recoil but the 8mm shoots a heavier bullet.

[@tommiegun1980]

The k98 was produced even after ww2 by french army, they occupied the german weapon factories... Ian gun jezus just made an video about it. Soo the rifle was even produced till in 50's But very very nice rifle's Greetz everyone👏

[@PalKrammer]

I am an idiot: I never bought a K98k in the 1990's because I really wanted that nice long Gewehr 98 with its awesome rear sight. But I was too cheap to pay what people were asking for a Gewehr 98. I waited too long and now all the nice ones are very expensive. At least I was smart enough to get a nice Swedish m/96B and a nice Yugoslavian M48.
