Hickok may i ask what your ethnicity is? haha :) I know you are American, but by blood what is your heritage? The German rifle looks good in your hands
1:54 it's crazy how the target starts swaying before the sound reaches the observers. Very cool. Good job on that range too, very difficult with iron sights.
I'm, curious to know what amounts they go for in the states. Was wondering about getting one here in Norway and here the 30.06 win version goes for about 170 - 180 usd. and the 7.92 mm about twice that. Love these guns. Over here thats cheap for a rifle like that anyway.
@bjornhaavard I see them on GunBroker going for over $1000.00 if they are in any sort of good shape at all. I too love those rifles. Yes, they are old designs but they are fantastically well designed and more than capable of doing the job they were designed to do. They also make great hunting rifles.
@thatguru877 I'm sorry, do I know you? Perhaps you know me... No? Then how do you presume to know our reasoning behind it? For that matter, what gives you the right to even suggest that I tell my family to "fuck off"? The Mauser stays on the wall, if anything you've strengthened my belief that it shouldn't be fired.
I have a Mauser that my grandfather brought back with him from WWII. I would love to shoot it, but out of respect for the family and per their wishes, it will forever remain a wall piece and will not be fired. If I could find one at a decent price I would probably buy another one to shoot though.
insted of pulling the striper clip out by hand and throwing it away drive the bolt home and it will eject the it and it will make a pinging somthing like a m1 grand
@RazorCell7 a high end dealer for $2500+, you used to be able to buy SS ones made in a concentration camp that were russian captures (mismatched) for $900 in the late 90's, but most military surpluses of all kinds are running dry in the country, they were going to import all the M1 Garands from S Korea to the CMP but there frozen in Canada by Obama.
@RazorCell7 not at the moment, depending where you are. go to a gunshow and find a guy with a lot of ww2 stuff, or military stuff and ask them if they have any mausers, after that ask if its SS. There tough to find unless you have a good group of dealers which you deal with. (meaning they get WW2 stuff in on a regular basis)
Fired a Swedish Mauser in .308 a few weeks back and loved it, but I wasn't tremendously fond of the sights. With the correct sighting picture, should your target rest at the point of the triangle, or be partially obscured by it?
@whitey5238 just buy one at an auction or a gun show remember not all of these guns are his of course and i doubt he would sell you one since it's just like ill send you my gun you send me the money
@USMCWelborn it depends on the state of the rifle itself but you can find a good one on gunbroker for around $450-$1000 and in gun stores just about anywhere, but stay away from russian captures they rarely match all the parts because the russians would take them apart to transport them and then re-assemble them.
Hi, hickok45 I like your videos, I'm a big fan since two years! I'm French and I know the Mauser, I live near the Beaches of D-Day, place of Memory for for thousands of people, that should not be forgotten.Have you ever been there?
Mine is a "Duv41" recover from a former Wehrmacht Soldier's, remained in France after the WWII.I've fired a few WWII perforating ammo's(1943 still like new!!), an amazing powerful! With this ammos the steel target looks like a Swiss cheese!
You know, I'm on PSAdvance's side here. You guys need to read more comments than the ones that piss you off. He's already corrected himself, and he shouldn't have to impress it upon one other person, let alone 3.
I recently bought a k98, it has the MAUSER logo on the receiver, it does seem to be a "Russian capture". I bought it for 500 bucks because the seller said the value on it would increase since it is such a rare rifle.I tried looking up some info on it but found nothing....
A little info would be greatly appreciated Thanks everyone =D
Noticed you have one with electro penciled serial on the bolt itself. I have one like this as well. I read in my research that usually this electro penciling means that those parts are not original matching. This was due to the rifle being a Russian capture from the eastern front. Russians took out the bolts when they defeated Germany (along with us) and took out the trigger guard capture screws and the cleaning rods as well as the front side covers (issued on rifles from 1939 and later) and me
@Thisissaj12100, They're bolt action rifles. As long as you have the strength to operate the bolt than they're practically 'reliability' speaking, Exactly the same.
I'd go enough to say the Mauser is more reliable because it fires a rimless cartridge.
Hickock. I am thinking of buying my first RC K98 it has Nazi markings but they are peened. The bolt wiggles about a 1/8" when it is in the fully rear position does that seem normal to you? PLZ reply cuz i dig your channel. Thanks
@locknloadbitch A clip (stripper clip) is what is used to load a magazine. The magazine (internal, or external) is used to feed the weapon. Folks often call a magazine a clip which is not accurate. Does that help?
I bet this beautiful piece of history never imagined it would end up in America and being shot in 2011 when it was "born" in Steyr so many decades ago. Absolutely wonderful firearm, I'd buy one if I could.
@ADyingFetus Not at all! Look at the bolt and extractor on a K98 - controlled feed and extraction. Nothing like a Remington 700 with its rinky dink pin and snap.
@dufferut Let me correct myself, almost all rifles use a VERY similar bolt to the Kar98k. They all work the same way, although the Kar98k will always be the top dog.
Don´t know about now, but a few years ago you could buy a WWI issued G98 in excellent condition for under 200€.
Quite frustrating that we are not allowed to buy them. :-( (unless we spend a few thousand euro in a hunting license or frequent shooting in a club for some years)
As someone mentioned from before, this is a Russian Captured rifle. These rifles were taken apart, black paint was applied to the metal parts, and the stocks were varnished. For your rifle, it looks like someone tried to restore the rifle by removing what the Russians did. The stock numbers are not German matching, but they are Russian matching. The only thing that matches on here is the barrel, receiver, and front sites if numbered. Those parts are Waffen SS, not the "evil" SS. Hope this helps!
@SabreWolferos Than an American with an M1, hmm not sure about that. Don't forget why U.S. marines got the nickname devil dogs in WW1, by mauser armed troops. They both were experienced as hell.
@SabreWolferos Try the Civilian marksmanship program. You can pick up a nice service grade M1 (luck of the draw) for 625.00. If not mausers are still awesome and sooo fun.
i have a single shot bolt action .22LR rifle made by ERMA it was made in 1934 it is modeled after the Mauser 98 ive never held a real mauser98 so im not to sure but supposedly the .22 is the same wait an length of the mauser so the germans in world war 2 could train with it because it fired a .22 round which cost alot less then 8mm mauser's, an i got it from my grand father his father had brought it back from the war im sure it wasnt used in combat but i still wounder where an how he found it.
@TheBlabla1996 I prefer bolt action because you actually do the action, if you know what I mean. and those ww2 rifle are so fun to shoot. I personaly own a R700 and a mosin nagant 91/30 and I have so much more fun to shoot the mosin even though it's not accurate.
I'm french canadian so sorry if my english is not really clear.
@MaxTheMillionaire okay, well im 15 and im still wondering what gun i would later buy
i really like bolt action because the mechanism sounds so good, but that was with a .22 lr..... i like ww2 weapens because it one piece steel and wood but if never fired with it
Too bad us germans aren't allowed to own firearms. This summer I'm going to a firing range near Berlin where you can rent guns and shoot them under supervision, so I'm going to shoot one of these and I am really looking forward to do so :)
@GraySolid14 "Too bad us germans aren't allowed to own firearms." What are you talking about? Get your facts straight. I am german, live in Germany and legally own several guns (one of them happens to be a Desert Eagle .50 AE), shooting them often at ranges all over Germany. I could even buy a .50 BMG at any given time (and will definitly do so in the near future). So what´s your problem? Uninformed or just trolling?
Is this a Mitchel's Mauser? it looks like a Russian Capture but with a scrubbed receiver, as my byf 42 and bcd 44 mausers don't have such deep groovings in the codes.
I'm new to collecting old ww2 rifles and I just started looking for a mauser. Something I notice on every decent-looking mauser are numbers that look as if someone took an engraving-pen and drew a 4-digit number on the bolt (and sometimes safety as well) like displayed in this video @ 3:53. What is this, and why is this done? I turned down a few potentials because the "writing" was just awful and didn't look right to me, but I don't really know any better because I'm so new to this.
@cber8860 The man who held it made the decision, not the rifle. Don't begrudge objects for the horrific actions of man. People holding Mosin Nagants have been killing US soldiers and innocent civilians since 1918, but you don't appear to despise them for that.
@Yeahraftin /You mean since 1960? and the Mosin is better for reliability, price, and the round. But the Mauser has much better ergos by a long run. Get your history right!
@lalablablaification no, I mean since 1918. Like I told the other one, look up Allied Intervention in the Russian Civil War. I have my history right, thanks very much.
@Yeahraftin Mosin Nagants have not been killing US soldiers since 1918. The US were not in WWI for starters, and Russia was on the same side as the US during WWII.
@SloughG1 My mistake, they entered a year before the war ended. I should have double checked, I'm most familiar with my own nations contribution to the war . Regardless, Russian forces did not attack US forces.
@PSadvance absolutely no idea where you got your information but the US declared war on Germany in April 6th 1917 after President Wilson asked congress for 2 years to essentially separate themselves after the Uboats destroyed the Lusitania that was headed to the UK. There were 4,355,000 troops deployed, 126,000 US soldiers died and 264,000 were wounded....get educated breh
@PSadvance About that.... look up "allied intervention in the Russian civil war" on wikipedia, and tell me that Soviets didn't fight Americans in 1918.

I could even buy a .50 BMG at any given time (and will definitly do so in the near future). So what´s your problem? Uninformed or just trolling?

Timney triggers are a must if you have a Mauser for plinking. The original trigger is pretty bad. You can adjust the pull on a Timney btw.

@sibirty Yeah, a clip is what you put on a magazine after you're done reading it. Them bastards!
Haha, but really I was talking to one of my work buddies on the difference. It's confusing to most movie watchers, actually.

Is this a Mitchel's Mauser? it looks like a Russian Capture but with a scrubbed receiver, as my byf 42 and bcd 44 mausers don't have such deep groovings in the codes.
Im just wondering.

I'm new to collecting old ww2 rifles and I just started looking for a mauser. Something I notice on every decent-looking mauser are numbers that look as if someone took an engraving-pen and drew a 4-digit number on the bolt (and sometimes safety as well) like displayed in this video @ 3:53. What is this, and why is this done? I turned down a few potentials because the "writing" was just awful and didn't look right to me, but I don't really know any better because I'm so new to this.

@szchicken those are done by the soviets, when they refurbished them. That means its a "Russian capture" Mauser.

@cber8860 The man who held it made the decision, not the rifle. Don't begrudge objects for the horrific actions of man. People holding Mosin Nagants have been killing US soldiers and innocent civilians since 1918, but you don't appear to despise them for that.

cber8860 2 months ago
@Yeahraftin /You mean since 1960? and the Mosin is better for reliability, price, and the round. But the Mauser has much better ergos by a long run. Get your history right!

@lalablablaification no, I mean since 1918. Like I told the other one, look up Allied Intervention in the Russian Civil War. I have my history right, thanks very much.

@Yeahraftin Mosin Nagants have not been killing US soldiers since 1918. The US were not in WWI for starters, and Russia was on the same side as the US during WWII.

@PSadvance absolutely no idea where you got your information but the US declared war on Germany in April 6th 1917 after President Wilson asked congress for 2 years to essentially separate themselves after the Uboats destroyed the Lusitania that was headed to the UK. There were 4,355,000 troops deployed, 126,000 US soldiers died and 264,000 were wounded....get educated breh
