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.

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.

[@oldurn]

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!

[@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.

[@AetiusPraetorian]

I got to fire one of these while in the Army in Germany. It belonged to a retired German Bundeswehr General. He had all types of WW2 weapons and liked to invite the soldiers from my unit to come out to his private shooting range to pop off some rounds.

У вас отличные обзоры по оружию, ничего лишнего, а сразу к стрельбам с ясным разъяснением.

My grandfather served in WWII and was able to take this rifle off a dead German soldier. It now stays with my uncle in Louisiana! I’ve always wanted to see it.

I really like your neutral stance on this gun. Awesome video review. Greetings from Germany!

[@ericliu2515]

I remember watching this video before all these PUBG comments... Miss those days...

[@sheldenrocks]

By far my favorite weapon from war!

[@clauspihl-denmark]

I own a K98 exact same year and factory byf 43. (Mauser-Werke, A.-G., Oberndorf) have a Remington 700 sps with scope but always brings the Mauser for my hunting trips. Here in Europe we still have lots of wartime ammo for these rifles. Thanks for posting !

[@toniberger6005]

8mil Mauser is quite overkill for a Deer XD but maybe you are Greedy and aim for 2 in one Shot. where are you from? i live in Germany and evrybody i know loads his own 8mm. never heard someone who would by 8mm.

[@TheCivetz]

When I grow up I wanna be just like you Hickok, great videos!!!

[@Menaceblue3]

he has been here since world war I. you're gonna have to go through a century in order to be just like him.

[@TheCivetz]

ahaha good to know that :)

[@chrisbryant8043]

+Menaceblue3 actually Hickok has been around for even longer than that. He used to carry in a drop leg holster a Colt Army SA when them came out. Might as well call him Duncan McCloud.

[@Menaceblue3]

[@davidtaylor2054]

I have a Mauser Mm 410-B - a .22LR sporting rifle from about 1938. It's a perfect miniature of that action.

[@christophervanoster]

I found one of these as a French capture in a loca cabelas a few months. I didn’t have the money at the time but I did hold it and it was just so nice to hold. The construction was solid and it just feels sturdy

Medal of Honor: Frontline was the first FPS I ever played. What a game, even though the PS2 controls haven't aged well.

[@cecilgarrison6769]

My dad was with the 29th on Omaha Beach D+1. He was there for a few days with 104th Med,Bn. He told me that the guns taken from the German POWs were just put in a big pile. Somehow some GI's thought they were ok to try the Mausers out. My dad fired one round and he said that it "kicked like a mule." That was enough for him!

[@No5f3r4tu]

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

[@bigmack8307]

The way garand lovers love the sound of the ping when the clip ejects, I love the sound of a Mauser’s smooth bolt action

[@pennydome5051]

I'm a numismatic and I collect historic gun too. Your words about value of some collectibles guns are are valido for coins and paper money too. I appreciate your video. Congrats! I officially invite you in Switzerland (where I live).

[@Debbie321lopez]

As a Dutch person, firearms are not for the regular folks. I've been a "Sportschutter" (sporting shooter translated, member of a firerange) for about 2 years, and I now have a Chinese .22lr version of the K98. (.22lr by law is the first caliber that you can legaly own for your first firearm) And I am in LOVE with the Mauser. We have an older man with a K98 from 1907 and I get the privilage of shooting that one once in a while. I am in love with this firearm and I hope to one day buy it from him. Such a huge piece of history with that one. And on a sad note, our range had a K98 from 1937, and it broke down. But I had the privilege to fire the last round before it became too expensive to repair rather than buy a new one. I still keep the last cartrige with me at most times because of the history of that weapon.

[@SonoftheSeaWind]

So you broke it

[@dekemason]

This vid is super cool as hell. Love the history of it. All the best firearms vids have the history dialog included. The worst of mankind can sometimes be the best of mankind.

[@trulyinfamous]

I have one of those. I'll be damned if it isn't the loudest gun I own. What a weapon.

[@darkzero7969]

The father of my uncle, born in Yugoslavia, was sent to an Nazi labor camp named Matthausen.He stayed there from 1941 to 1945, being rescued by American infantry.He picked a K98K while escaping and I have a clip of it.The rifle was taken away, I think.He also wrote a book about his stay in Matthausen and his rescue.It has over 200 pages, but its not for sale anymore, and it was only available in my country.

[@dinkone7943]

I just bought one in October I had wanted one for some time its all matching could not be more pleased really enjoyed your video very nice rifle

[@topturretgunner]

Hickok45. Here’s a Mauser fun fact: once you’ve loaded a 5 round stripper clip if you grasp the rifle at the receiver with your left hand lay a 6th round in the magazine atop the 5th. Then apply a slight downward pressure on the top round by wrapping your left thumb across the index (low notch) that is machined in the left receiver wall, as you ease the bolt forward and rotate it closed as you normally would when chambering a round. You now have 6 rounds in your Mauser. This will not harm the magazine spring in anyway and the safety will of course function normally.

[@HW.0029]

That Mauser action smooth af.

[@blairmckinney27]

Beautiful rifle. Germans knew what they were doing!

[@collaborisgaming2190]

9:33 Correction: Mauser's first Military Certified gun was the G71 so Mauser was older than 1880s. it could be argued that Dryse Started Mauser due to the founder of Mauser being a direct apprentice. Paul Mauser was the apprentice for Dryse who made the Needle gun sometimes called the G70
