Restoring 1937 Ceskoslovenska Mauser Mountain Carbine, (with firing test)

#restoration #mauser #rare
Here is a rare 1937 VZ 12/33 mountain Mauser carbine rifle. I found this Rifle on an auction site and knew I had to have it to bring it back to life again. Only 25,311 were ever made until they changed the variant that led to the Gewehr 33/40. I really enjoyed this challenge and learning a little history along the way.

When he got the gun it was worthless and whoever did that job before this gentleman got it was bad he actually restored the rifle to make it look beautiful and glow again!!!🎉

My grandfather was a gunsmith who took many cheap, military surplus Mauser rifles and converted them to sporters. I remember him telling me - "The Mauser 98 action is the best there is". I have both restored military rifles and built custom long-range rifles from a surplus M98 action. Re-chambering a Mauser is very simple with the extractor cut relief in the action and not cut into the barrel. The historic Model 98 action was the basis for the Springfield M1903, the Winchester M70, and the Remington 700. The Mauser brothers Paul and Wilhelm probably did not know at the time that they designed an action that would last more than a century.

Thank you for showing the bore as part of the process! Yeah most of the Czech Mauser rifles are in 7.92 x 57 mm more often called 8 mm Mauser, while a LOT of the various South American contract Mauser rifles were in 7 x 57 mm like yours! It's a great round and you've done a fantastic job bring that one back to shooting condiion.

​@@TheKinzlerBrosspecial thanks for you, remember "always be careful with weapons, take care of safety during test firing (it's good that you do test firing like this), remember I subscribed to you because of your thoroughness in the restoration and test firing of the weapon you repaired at the end of the video because that's why the purpose of restoration is for the weapon to return in good condition, function well and can be used and preserve its historical value, unlike some restorers, get a good and good weapon for restoration but its function is damaged and turned into a toy. lose value and destroy the historical value of reason for neutralization. The weapon is just trash that has no value and is useless for restoration.

I don't like to sand stocks and remove original finish. I.prefer to take a well used 3m green scrubbing pad and dip it into boiled linseed oil and slop it onto a dirty old rifle stock. Scrub gently going with the grain of the wood for 5 or 10 minutes. Then let it stand wet overnight. The next day sctub it lightly again with more linseed oil. Then take a wad of paper towels and rub hard going with the grain to remove the grime from the stock. Then put another application of linseed oil over the stock and let it set overnight again. I find that after soaking the wood in linseed oil for several nights that many small dings and cracks will swell up and dosappear. The end result is usually lvery nice. Thanks for the video.

Nice work! That stock would have been a good candidate for scraping with some flat metal instead of sanding since it was loading up that sandpaper so fast. Saves some time and material that way.

[@James_T_Kirk_1701]

When you loaded that single round you really stress the claw extractor by not feeding from the mag. That stiffness when the bolt snapped close was the extractor snapping over the rim of the cartridge. I’ve fixed a many of Mausers with broken extractors because unaware owners push a single loaded round into the chamber like that.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thank you very much for the tip we appreciate it, thanks for watching

[@Lyzrinn]

I don't understand your comment. The Mauser's bolt was made specifically with such a long extractor in mind solely for the fact that it's more durable and bends slightly sideways in case the extractor needs to go over the rim of a stuck cartridge and not damage both the rim & the extractor. It was part of the design. It would be harmful if the extractor was directly fixed / milled into the bolt like, say, a Mousqueton Berthier.

[@James_T_Kirk_1701]

Well I’m sorry you don’t understand. It can be hard to be perfectly clear typing on the phone sometimes. The Mauser bolt is not like most extractors where there is a central pivot point with a spring in the rear so it can snap over the rim without breaking the cartridge rim resulting in an extraction failure. The Mauser bolt IS fix. It is meant to slip around the rim of the cartridge as it rises out of the magazine. This allows it to hold the round against the bolt when the bolt travels forwards and backwards.

[@nicklaussen54]

@James T Kirk makes sense. So when you load a single round from the top into the chamber, then push the bolt forward, the extractor don't want that round there it didn't help put there in the first place!

[@mosin_boi]

I got an M48 mauser that doesn't always extract. Could that be why? The casing always leaves the extractor claw but doesn't always fly out.

[@christianlee1693]

Love the restoration the only thing I could say is that if you use a rolled spring steel scraper like the guys over at anvil the wood finish comes off without taking of any of the wood
