German Mauser Kar98k Review Part 2 of 3

[Capta1nTaterS]

Good videos man! Thanks for posting this. I have a Mauser myself, its a Turk. I have all of the same ammo you have, and trust me the Romanian Steel clips are a PAIN IN THE ASS. I ended up replacing them with my Brass ones from the turk ammo.

[777BedHead777]

dude i will give you 15 dollars for that bag of stripper clips and send me a message where i can get the turkish on the bandolier and the yugo stuff on the stripper clips

[something01992]

@777BedHead777 Sorry, the stripper clips aren't for sale. As for Turkish and Yugo ammo on clips, I found those locally. You can find them on gunbroker, but be warned that people on gunbroker tend to gouge their prices.

[MrPugero69]

@777BedHead777 you can order some yugo 8mm for about $4 a 15round box at jgsales.com

[something01992]

@EAGLEuyaGAMER LMFAO. You're hypocritical little fuck you know that? You call all my shit useless and then proclaim that you have more shit than I do. Get fucked. In case you haven't noticed, money makes the world spin around. Money, sex, oil, gold, that kind of shit. Stop being an America hater because all the other nations revolve around money too you economic illiterate. All your shit are children's toys: .22 caliber, .25 caliber. And the M1910 Glisenti is a poor design compared to others LOL

[something01992]

@EAGLEuyaGAMER LOL Your profile says "I'm a nobody that likes to sit in a little dark room that i like to call hope shift but the walls talk so i need to go now ". You're so fucked up. Go play video games in a dark room and talk to your walls. I love how fucked up some kids are. You're retarded beyond understanding, economic illiterate, and you have terrible guns lol. You are nobody. Got that? Stop talking with adults, you can't handle it. Go play with other people with the mind of a 8 year old.

[EAGLEuyaGAMER]

Unless you shoot it hunt or getting ready for war of the states of union theres no point of buying useless shit for it just to have is a waste of money

[something01992]

@EAGLEuyaGAMER I do shoot it. I shoot it a lot. Not all surplus ammo is created equal which is why I reviewed it. This "useless shit" is worth a good amount of money. It's called collecting, it's a hobby many milsurp shooters have to make their collections more complete. And I don't tell you what to do with your money so screw off and go back to your call of duty and shit. Let real men handle the real guns.

[Bhuddistrock]

not airsoft?

[MegaFallenAngel]

About the bayonet, having the sharp edge up is better, if you're in a close combat situation it's better to come up from your hip area and hitting the enemy's stomach where there's less chance of encountering bones and it guarantees a hit.

CHECK OUT MY CHANNEL FOR A 1942 original german mauser Subed u man nice info

[99LightningSVT]

Well I'm having trouble figuring out the serial number because it's longer than it should be from the sound of it. I can't find 8mm locally and if I do it's crazy expensive.The rifle does have the Nazi symbols and it has BYF stamped in a few spots. I think it might help if you were able to do a video explaining the serial number places or just a general idea of tell tale numbers/symbols.

[something01992]

@99LightningSVT byf is the code for Mauser Orbendorff, if memory serves me right. Doesn't the receiver have a year stamped on it? Like "byf 43" or "byf 44" or just "byf 4" ? It's also possible that various factories didn't all standardize their serializing procedure because they each operated independently, and didn't always take orders lol. For example, the Steyr-Daimler-Puch factory never reported in certain alterations of manufacturing when ordered to.

[99LightningSVT]

Have you been able to find info on serial numbers or anything? I'm trying to find info on a Model 98 my grandpa smuggled from the war. where is a good place to find ammo at a decent price?

[something01992]

@99LightningSVT I have an excellent book on Kar98k serial numbers, but it's at home and I'm at summer school. Germans did their serial numbers in blocks of 10,000. The first 10,000 of a year would be 1-10,000, then they start over at 1a-10,000a, then it goes on from 1b-10,000b, and on and on until the next year. Your best bet for ammo is local. I find that the bets deals for me are local gun shops and ranges. Beats having to pay for shipping, and you can inspect the rounds for corrosion.

[FoodFolksandGuns]

thanks so much for this series. i am a new C&R FFL holder and this is really helping me get up to speed.

[something01992]

@FoodFolksandGuns Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful. If you enjoy my videos, please subscribe. Once I'm done with summer school, I'm going to finish up the Mosin-Nagant 91/30 review series and I predict that my CMP M1 Garand should arrive within a week of coming home in early August.

[bargunner18]

great vids,cant wait for your review of the garand[my personal fav]

[something01992]

@bargunner18 Thanks! I'm actually filling out the forms right now, and since July 4th is tomorrow, I'll mail it out July 5th :) Hopefully, the I'll have it early/mid August.

[FantomShooter]

You should collect up some of those silica pouches you get in medicine bottles and such and toss em in on top of ammo when you seal it into the box......keeps moisture off the ammo.....

[something01992]

@FantomShooter I actually have gotten some silica packets, they're reusable. There's a small window that you can see the small beads, and when they turn pink, they're saturated with water, so you bake them for about 2 hours and they'll turn back blue, and then you can toss them into your cans again.

[MatrixMan1171]

Thanks so much for the awesome ammo review! You know a lot of things that the average mil surp owner wouldn't

[something01992]

@MatrixMan1171 Thank you! I've been researching this stuff for quite some time before I made this series. I'm doing a lot of reading on the Mosin Nagant rifles, and the Type 38 Arisaka series as well. Hopefully I'll have three part review series up on youtube by the end of August.

[1joshjosh1]

# 2 I viewed,still learning!!

Thank you for posting.

[zero48411]

you got a mosin nagant ammo pouch



[something01992]

@zero48411 I mention its a Mosin Nagant ammo pouch in the video, and I explained the differences between the Russian and the German pouches.

[zero48411]

@something01992 true i just didnt watch the hole video

[Gungeek]

I had some 1949 turk ammo that was going 2950fps in my Kar98K.

[something01992]

@Gungeek Jesus, I need to get a chrono and clock those Turkish rounds, when I finally land a job at my university and get some money lol. I always knew they were hot, but I thought the 3000 fps figures were inflated. The Turkish rounds always gave me a little trouble on initial extraction, so I suspected they must have been around 2700 or 2800 lol.

[Gungeek]

@something01992 I read online one time a guy put some of the war time turk stuff on the chrony and was getting 3200fps in a 29" turkish Mauser.
