My first gun, that I bought with my own money, was a Czech capture Kar98 and is still my favorite bolt action rifle. Kicks like a mule, drives nails, solid bolt and well balanced. I even bought a bayonet for it, with the ring to fit over the barrel, too. My dream rifle is a sniper model Kar98.

Was my dad's rifle, then passed down to me. Got my first deer with it at age 17 in a heavy snow with those open sights. A true 98 and a great shooter; accurate and all parts matched serial number wise. But I moved a lot out of state in my 20s and early 30s due to school, jobs, marriage, etc. So I stored it at my parents. Little did I know he sold it years later and it was exactly like the one shown here. I love my dad. He did so much for me but I wish he had never sold it. I really miss that rifle.

Hickok I'm a big fan and have been for a long time. About a year ago I adjured a K98 from a dealer in Maryland. He had it listed on Gunbroker with lots of pictures and a very extensive commentary about this gun. It's a bwf 44 with all matching numbers in excellent condition. The only problem was that it had a "Duffle Cut" on the stock just below the dissasembly device. This dealer was also a master wood worker and took a stock from another 98 reject and matched it perfectly with the cut on the original rifle. I know it diminishes the value but with it's other attributes I couldn't turn it down. I have it hanging in my bedroom and I give it a pat every night when I go to bed. Beautiful weapon!

My Great Grandfather was in the 21st Schutzstaffel (SS) Panzer Division during WWII and he fought the Russians on the Eastern Front during the war. He brought the three rifles he had used during the war, the K98K, Gewehr 43 and the Stermgewehr 44. They are all such beautiful rifles the K98K was the first rifle I was taught how to shoot when I was 5. My Great Grandfather taught me every part of the rifle, how to clean the rifle and eventually how to shoot the rifle.

That being said, I learned things from this video about the mechanics of my rifle that I never realized. Appreciate it! Love the channel! And the Mausers!

[@retrocny5625]

That is such a beautiful gun. If I ever got a Mauser K98, I'd want one with the hooded front sight post like that one. Definitely made somewhere between 1942-1944. As long as it was clean, accurate with a good bore, I would look past non-matching serials. I can just never seem to come across one in my neck of the woods. I'm not a mauser aficionado so I'm a little nervous about what to look for.

[@Scorpio1351]

The hood that covers the front sight is removable, you should be able to find a loose one at a gun show. Then whenever you get a chance to buy a K98 you'll be all good.

[@Scorpio1351]

They also made a neat hinged piece that attached to the front sight and it was for covering the muzzle so water and dirt and whatnot stayed out of the barrel.

On how you can be interested in an enemy firearm. The curator at bovington tank museum said: back when the vikings invaded england everyone hated them but nowadays you have viking museums and many people are interested in them. if you get some distance due to time and or knowledge you can be interested in stuff even if it was once your enemy. and i think that sums it up why it is ok to shoot german (axis) guns or like german tanks or whatsoever

My Mauser video "Mauser 98k differences" has been up for years and hardly any views. I highlight my Cz shooter, a burnt out wwi 98, and an all matching, unscrubbed 1938 Berlin 98k. Speaking to what Hickok was talking about, on the 1938 even some of the screws are numbered matching the rest of the gun. It really is something how they numbered almost everything. Hickok is too polite to condemn Mitchell's, but I will. They're a scam. They're mostly Russian capture that are refurbished, scrubbed, and re-numbered. Sure, they're good shooters, but they aren't "the real deal" like what Hickok has here. From Canada with enthusiasm, keep up the stellar work.

[@nicholasceea4109]

This video makes me sad and wish I had my K98 back. Got it for Christmas from the Sears catalog in 1966 when I was 12yo and it was in almost perfect condition. My parents hid the gun in a closet but wrapped up a box of 8mm ammo and told me to open it last. Wow, bummed out to best Christmas ever when I opened that last present! Stolen about 3 years later during a home break in :-(

That sucks..... ;(

[@joshuahedrick]

When I was 18 years old I bought a Yugo M48 Mauser from Mitchell's. I recall I paid about $249 and it was matching serial numbers but of course it was not German and not WWII vintage but for what I paid for it, was a steal. Always shot 198 grain Sellier & Bellot ammo in it, which is much hotter then the Federal ammo Hickock45 is using in this video. Most 8x57 ammo made by American companies is a 170 grain bullet at 2,400 fps. This is done to make the pressures safe in case some one loads this into an old .318 bore Mauser. The rifle featured in this video is what is called 8x57JS, it's .323 bore and is capable of propelling a 198 grain bullet at 2,650 fps, approximating the .35 Whelen in performance.

I wouldn't even say that no soldier every used that small hole as a cigarette holder. Soldiers come up with many crazy ideas out in the field that you would normally never think about. That's the nature of war. ^^

This is just such a cool military bolt action rifle! I love the Kar98k! It is my favorite bolt action rifle. The round that thing fires was the most widely used military round in the world, and more countries used this rifle than any other rifle of the time. Cool video!

[@danielbeiersr3642]

I purchased a Mitchells Mauser Ugo 8 mm 30 years ago that was advertised as a new production 1945 out of a armory that wasn’t issued since the war ended. The rifle looks new all around, bayonet and leather ammo pouch was enclosed. Matching numbers and is a great shooter.

[@dmv118]

Geez, most people nowadays keep talking about shooter games like the guns in real life copied from them... or something.

[@feedthemeat543f]

Most of those people are typically joking. For a lot of people though the game in question introduces them to the gun in question.

[@willshogren1987]

I don't know anything about Mausers but my grandpa brought one back after the war and it just got passed around, unfired, until I dusted it off in 2024. It fires flawlessly and kicks like a mule, as of yesterday. There's something very impressive about a gun that old doing what it's supposed to do.
