@nance2uable Depends, the "k" at the end means "kurz" or short. That means the rifle is shorter than the original model, the K98. This IS a K98k, though, because one, you can easily see it's shorter than the K98, and 2, i think the owner of the gun would know what it is, since it's, you know, his. -_-
Yes, very fun weapon to fire. I got a 1944 german made mauser with all the markings. Sucks that by the time I got my hands on the weapon it had a pitted bore and slightly damaged crown, it still is generally accurate, but its fun to shoot. Maybe when this rifle is really rare in a couple decades I can sell it for a nice chunk of change, bought mine for $200 at a garage sale or maybe if I have kids they can have it.
The front sight hood and cleaning rod make a big difference cosmetically, eh :) I even got a few capture screws for mine, but that's not really noticeable. just got em for the hell of it. Russian Capture K98ks are quite accurate for being all mismatched.
OMFG dude, i am trying to start a ww2 bolt rifle collection i got a 91/30 mosin nagant and a japanese Arisaka type 38, i am really looking hard to find a Kar98k for under $450.00 please please please let me know if you know of anyone
Go to gunshows. I'm in the southeast and there's a gunshow (or 2) within a hour every weekend. Every gunshow I've been to recently has had K98ks for under $400. I grabbed one for $250 a couple weeks ago.
They're not repros. They're butchered Russian Captures at 4X the price. There's nothing neat or cool or awesome about them, lol. Believe me! Save your money for an ALL-MATCHING vet-bring back K98k, hiding in some neighbor's basement. Believe me, they're the only K98ks worth dropping $400+ on.
Hm, how did you add the sight hood and would it be possible to add the sight hood of a Kar 98 on another Mauser variation? The action looks really nice in the video.
There is a groove on each side of the base of the front sight; you just press the sight hood into the grooves, and thats it. I am not sure if you can add the sight hood from the Kar98k onto another Mauser design, but I have to guess; yes I think it might be possible.
Another Mauser variation?! lol. Even the M48 front sight hood and the K98k front sight hood aren't interchangeable. So, I doubt that you're gonna be putting any K98k front sight hoods on any Mausers other than 1940 - or later - K98ks. You have to have the grooves in the base of the front sight. And, even then, some Mausers that do sport a front sight hood, will have a different variation. A prime example is the difference between the K98k & M48
thats a mauser k98 not a mauser k98k

From internet: The Karabiner 98k "Mauser" (often abbreviated "K98k" or "Kar98k") ...
Some one else once told me it was 98k on here as well.

I have a Russian capture, want to get a Mitchell's Mausers K98. I know they're basically repro's, but they seem awesome.

Butchered? I wouldn't call it that. Butchered would mean cutting up into a deer rifle. These look like valuable all matching knock-offs.
I have no interest in getting one, but they seem like fine mechanically.

Yeah, and make certain you have snap-ring pliers to install the sight hood. It can be a bear to fit into the grooves without them.
