Mauser 8mm

[MonkeyMasher1]

I've never seen that much Turkish 8mm milsurp in my life. I thought it was rare

nice gun, I have a german one has the Nazi Eagle markings on it.

[omgiTsmeJon]

the Springfield 1903 was so close the the Mauser 98 that patent fees had to be paid to Mauser

[MrGhoststalker]

You´re right. Its not a german made K98. Definitely not.

But in the vid he says its made in ceskoslovenska.

There are many details totally different to the german made one.

[zak4829]

where can i find a mauser? gunbroker?

[Ratkill9000]

Personally i prefer the Kar98k over the regular Mauser because of the curved bolt and the hooded front sight.

[TheMrBenBen00]

Wut the guy before the guy before me sed and I'm 11. Wit is difference in length between m1 garand bayonet and kar 98 bayonet

dude u are the man.. im 18 and ur one cool guy haha keep up the vids

[SOULFLYSI]

Is it safe to shot 8x57JS loaded to full potential with yugoM48a or m24/47 mauser ??

[LearnToTurn7]

@SOULFLYSI The mauser action, unless the steel is extremely corroded or poor quality, can withstand just about any practical load in the correct caliber.

[Schmidt54]

I think the K98s made in Germany do not have a straight pull bolt handle but an angled one. Not sure though.

[nwall989898]

@Schmidt54 You are right, but this is not a "German made" k98.

[bipolar156]

maybe someone can help me with this. I am a very good and very accomplished shooter with both pistols and rifles. I picked one of these up and at 90ft i was hitting 6+ inch groups. I couldnt stand it so i sold it pretty much immediatly. I dont know if it was those tiny mauser sights or what.

[NathanAndrewLonsdale]

"Lets go for some mountain Jew, the Germans favorite target!

[iPhYzIk]

@NathanAndrewLonsdale He said Mountain DEW not Jew ... !

[MysteryoftheGods]

My favorite mauser is a Yugislovian mauser.

[MysteryoftheGods]

German's favorite target not Mountain Dew...but Mountain Jew!!

[demonicspire1]

I was so surprised to find one of these buried in a big 5 in california, woulda bought it, but i didn't have a state ID on me, its bullshit, you can't use a passport, you have to get a driver's license or id.

[MrRussian19]

@Gungeek no i mean the the mauser!

[MrRussian19]

@Letadelko What's so funny?

[MrRussian19]

Hey hickok, you do know that most ww2 Mausers produced in Czechoslovakia had their front sight bended by the factory workers? just something to consider when buying a ww2 non -German Mauser.

[Letadelko]

@MrRussian19 LOL. Good one.

[Gungeek]

@MrRussian19 I think you mean war time Mosins lol

[Wizkid225]

can someone tell me if this gun kicks bad

[salmonking007]

@Wizkid225 depends on your definition of bad and how well you shoulder it. It's similar to a mosin's recoil if you've ever fired a 91/30.

[kipvader]

3:35 wasting ammo

[148scalemodeling]

@kipvader if you shoot it and have fun its never a waste! :)

[lowsten]

@kipvader Did you buy it? No. Then who cares.

[OutdoorSurvivalist1]

u know that rifle may be a vz.24 rifle made in Czechosolvakia. I may be wrong but the vz and ur rifle look similar.

[MonkeyMasher1]

@OutdoorSurvivalist1 That is a Vz. 24. It even says in the description that is a Czech rifle.

[fnukket]

Is the MG42 not 7.62MM

[MrTicklebunnies]

@fnukket

no, the MG 42 fires the 7.92x57mm, or the 8mm mauser round. makes sense since the 8mm is the standerd german bullet of WW2

[xatblasterx]

is there anyway to mount a scope with out major modifications?

[148scalemodeling]

@xatblasterx scout scope

[theforeverstone]

the bolt is like butter

[OGLoneWolf1882]

actually they werent used that often in ww2; they were made for use in ww1 but the bolt kept getting caught on the german's uniforms and was a nussiance in the trenchs. In ww2 they round the bold and thus the Kar98k was born.

[Warbirdguy1]

Checks called theirs VZ-24, looks AWESOME

[Anonymous0110]

Funny that he said "Mountain Dew, German's favorite target" because they don't have mtn. dew in Germany. They do, however, have an awesome soda call Mezzo Mix.

[fusilier45]

@Anonymous0110-I presume that your playing ignorant to The Mountain Dew part

[nochfetterermann]

The K98 is definitly one of the most beautiful rifles ever made!!

[MonkeyMasher1]

@nochfetterermann Do you mean K98k or Gew98? And yes, the German Mausers are beautiful pieces. The one that he is using is very nice too.

[Kennefo]

@nochfetterermann

Do you mean the rifle in the video is a K98? Or just any K98. I am not really sure, you can disagree with me, but I think the rifle in this video looks more like a Vz 24 Mauser. First of all, you can see that there is no place for the sling "hole" on the butt of the stock just a small sling mount under it. Plus, the bolt is straight and there is no actual butt plate like the one on the k98. Just my thoughts about it. : )

Btw, great video Hickok45 : ) Keep it up!!

[cjrm14]

thumbs up if u noticed tha GLOCK hat he was wearing

[a674101]

@cjrm14 No sorry

[1LonePuma]

Fantastic rifle!

[andrygiulyangyangyan]

very precision :D

[mogges1]

i have one just like it..but i think i'm a better shot with mine though LOL at 100 yard

[nick21sammy]

this mauser has the same butt plate as mine, a flat one, but its different from others i've seen, why? mine was made in the Wilhemlm Gustloff btw

[ruger3939]

I think he hates Halloween

[ALLERTORLOVER69]

my pap has an old argentine. i might take it deer hunting maybe next week

[stitches611]

i have a Yugoslavian Mauser made in 1944

[MonkeyMasher1]

@stitches611 In all honesty, I don't think the country of origin for a Mauser matters. I've never heard of a bad Mauser.

[stitches611]

@MonkeyMasher1 you got a point?

[stitches611]

why is the front site guard gone?

[zero48411]

@stitches611 its gone because this is a czech mauser not a german mauser.

[TaZ101SAGA]

VZ24 :)

[couchfighter]

I have one ...long story....mine was made in oberndorf in 1934....its my favorite

check my channel. i restored it, keep up the good work i have been watching for years, never happened on to this video, good stuff

[Cocogazz324]

give me one please.........

[acdcbagel]

ive gotten one my uncle took from a german in ww2 ans brought it home it has a nazi symbol on the barrell i deer hunt with it amazing it

[ILITTHEWORLDONFIRE]

ur dad is a hero. i am giving him a imaginary handshake rite now

[joker9494949494]

that is one hell of a range. Salutes!

[snipeahead]

please i need some help does the asfa ankara says anything to somebody?

[heliosium]

Great, I shoot with this kind of rifle, but I never used protection for my hears, so I was sick after 11 shots, I could not hear a cannon shot if any. When I begin to loose the hearing it always start with a whistle kind of sound.

I´m OK now, of course. Thanks for the memories.

[obeyance]

@heliosium The first time i went out with my VZ i forgot to bring my ear protection. (Well... i remembered on the way but i was expecting the people i was going to be with to have some... they didnt come.) After the first few rounds my ears hurt. So, lol, i found some cig butts on the ground, ripped the paper off and stuffed them in my ears... It works, i wouldnt suggest it... but it does work.

[curtishanna85]

my mauser 8mm had a straight bolt on it and it was from ww2 stamped on the end of the barrel

[1169Timothy]

@curtishanna85 you seem smart. I have a question; is that rifle that Hickok has a K98 or a K98k

[MrDip02]

@1169Timothy there the same damn thing my god it's karbiner 98k kurz k98 is just an abbreviation

[MonkeyMasher1]

@1169Timothy The proper nomenclature for a "K98," is Gewehr 98, or Model 98, the father of the K98k. The prefix 'K' means Karabiner, or short rifle, and Gew98s were NOT short rifles, in fact, they are a bit bigger than an Model 91/30 Mosin Nagant. The 'k' at the end means kurz, or small or short, so the proper name in English is Short Carbine Model 1898. That is a Vz. 24 Czech Mauser. It was based on the K98k design, although not a copy of it.

TL;DR - It's not a K98k. It's a Czech Vz. 24

[manuelbassaniful]

@hickok45 Hey , The Mauser 8mm is a Kar98k or Gewher 98 ?

[ETOTHECOREGamin]

That's a beautiful gun I want the exact one I'm looking around for one if you have any suggestions tell me

[GarrettPlye]

The reason why that this is WW1 and not WW2 is because of the shape of the bolt, if the bolt is straight it is WW1 if it is curved it is WW2.

[obeyance]

@GarrettPlye That cant be true tbh... I have a Romania made VZ24 with a mismatched straight bolt. Both are Romania as their stamped PR and XR which R means it was made in Romania and the letter before it is the period in which it was made. Romania did not start manufacturing them from 1938 till they joined the Allies in 1944. The XR on my bolt means it was one of the last 50,000 to be made during this time.

[obeyance]

@GarrettPlye "Romania did not start manufacturing them from 1938 till they joined the Allies in 1944." Meant to say Romania didnt start manufacturing them till 1938 and were used in Ukraine, Bessarabia, and Stalingrad by romanian soldiers fighting with/for the germans. Romainia joined the allies and continued to make the VZ24 afterwards but was not for german usage. The ones made in Czech were confiscated by the germans and issued to 11 battalions.

[obeyance]

@GarrettPlye So you see... Not only were there straight bolt VZ24's in use that were made during WW2 but there were WW1 era VZ24s being used as well. So either way, the straight bolt was used during WW2.

And heres something i may be wrong on... It is my opinion that all VZ24s had straight bolts, the german KAR98 has a nicely curved bolt. The fact that VZ24s and K98s use the exact same action, their bolts are interchangeable... Maybe you saw one with a K98 bolt?

[GarrettPlye]

@obeyance you are right on the fact that some bolt action rifles from WW1 were used because germany had to use what they could get, also i believe that germany favored the curved bolt design due to its more modern and more comfortable in the prone firing position, the original reason they switched designs at the end of WW1.

[obeyance]

@GarrettPlye The German made K98 has a curved bolt because germans are ingenious in design. They wanted a battle rifle that could be a sniper rifle as well. The K98 fits both roles very nicely. The reason the bolt is curved on the K98 is to allow for a scope to be mounted. I dont think there are any VZ24s with curved bolts that are not modified or that are using a K98 bolt. The reason for me saying all that was for you to understand that there arnt any.

[Gungeek]

@obeyance If the Czechs wanted to mount a scope they could bend the bolt down when they were putting on the scope...

[obeyance]

@Gungeek Do you understand the principles behind forged and tempered steel? You cant just "bend" it. Or i would have done so with mine. The metal is to brittle to bend. You have to reforge and then retemper, which is not exactly easy to do to a rifle bolt. The process involved would require cutting the handle off and then welding it back on. Its a million times easier just to slide a K98 bolt in it, which requires no forge, anvil or cooling liquid and uses an already surplus part.

[Gungeek]

@obeyance I was talking about the Czech military putting scopes on their rifles not you bubbaizing your gun ...

[obeyance]

@Gungeek Uh, what? So using a bolt with an already curved handle is bubbaizing, but modifying an already made bolt handle into a curved bolt isnt? I dont understand your logic. I was saying its easier to use a K98 bolt assembly than to do a crap load of work to the factory bolt handle to make it like the already manufactured item that works just the same.

I think you need to do some research, rethink what you said... then delete your comment to save face...

[Gungeek]

@obeyance I never said that wtf lol

[obeyance]

@Gungeek "If the Czechs wanted to mount a scope they could bend the bolt down when they were putting on the scope..."

Then what exactly is that statement supposed to mean? Cause... I personally dont bubba anything. I dont suggest anyone bubbaing anything, nor did i suggest that the Czech/Romanian armories bubba anything. A K98 bolt will slight perfectly into a VZ24. The parts are interchangable, therefore, the Czech/Romanian armories/military would not need to do rework on their product.

[Gungeek]

@obeyance I don't see what is so hard to understand... do I have to make a vid for you lol

[obeyance]

@Gungeek Yes please, i would like you to show me how you bend that hardened and tempered steel bolt handle. Bout the first couple that snap in half because your an idiot and you think all metal just bends right over, you will understand why i perceive your comments as idiotic.

~Journeyman Blacksmith

~Unaccredited Weapons Expert with over 16 years of weapon handling, repair and modification experience.

I also own one of these weapons and have done the research on this specific bolt to know.

[obeyance]

@Gungeek As well has having a parent that possesses a Class III FFL "Manufacture" license.

So please Mr. Gungeek... Explain to me how you are going to bend that bolt and A: keep it from snaping in half... And B: Keep it from losing its integrity.

[obeyance]

@Gungeek In fact, screw that. Ill just tell you. The only way for you to do it cheaply is to cut the bolt in half, drill and tap both sides and put a hardened all-thread inside both sides with a holding compound. And this still is not a "military" quality method. I think the biggest and most idiotic part of this whole argument is your lack of reading or at least understanding this one line. "Why would they go through all that effort, when they have a surplus of K98 bolts."

[Gungeek]

@obeyance I was talking about the Czech military bending the bolt on their guns not people doing it now wtf.

[obeyance]

@Gungeek So... are you saying you were in agreeance with me from the start? Cause it seems you were trying to make it sound like i was wrong or something. I still dont know why your refusing to accept that they wouldnt NEED to bend their own bolts for their military when they could have substituted the VZ bolt for a K98 bolt without any complications. It just doesnt seem logical to me to go through the effort of bending a straight bolt to achieve the same thing as using an already curved bolt.

[Gungeek]

@obeyance Where would the Czechs get bent German K98 bolts in the 1930's?

[obeyance]

@Gungeek You dont, i dont know. Other than K98s were issued to troops in '35 and CZ didnt join the allies till 38. Germany controlled the factory till then. Germany also issued 11 battalions VZ24s before then. Though, i just came across here after looking some stuff up... That it seems there was a sniper version of the VZ. Its stock is notched for the curved bolt and is a specific sniper variant. Though, i am unsure if they used K98 bolts or not or when the time frame these rifles were made.

[obeyance]

@Gungeek Some things are lost in history, leaving nobody with a for sure answer. Though, im sure with enough digging i could figure out when where and how these rifles were all made. Like i said. I have a ROMANIAN VZ24. So there are more that a couple factories that made them. But they are all pretty much the same. I personally have not seen a VZ with a bent bolt where the bolt matched the rest of the gun. But there are pics on Google for VZ24 sniper.

[Gungeek]

@obeyance Great thanks lol

[obeyance]

@Gungeek Which i believe i have mentioned in just about every post to you.

[obeyance]

@Gungeek I mean, "they could bend the bolt down"? This statement says two things about you, A: That your name insinuations far more than you yourself really understands. and B: You have no knowledge of metals. Which would i guess be part of A: if you really think about it.

I dont care how many guns you have, how many you think you have worked on, or any much time you have spent on them. Someone could spend 10 years in a well and know nothing about wells other than its wet.

[obeyance]

@obeyance (or how much time you have spend around them) < "or any much time you have spent on them."

[Possumlivingdotcom]

@obeyance Actually, you can bend it. In fact, gunsmith tool companies make a jig that clamps around the bolt body and have a slot to hammer the handle into. You remove the striker assembly, screw a heat sink in place of the striker assembly, smear some heat stop paste on the lugs and cocking cam, heat the handle with an oxyacetylene torch, and hammer it down. Or you can use the heat sink and stop paste to weld on a new handle without affecting the heat treatment of the bolt. I have done this.

[obeyance]

@GarrettPlye From the WWI ones that you said had the straight bolt, to the end of the Czech axis period where Germany requisitioned their arms factory, and the factory that made them in Romania as well, all had straight bolts.

If you can find any information leading to the conclusion that they were made factory with curved bolts. Please feel free to share.

[Chucknorrissssssss]

fps grandad

[SuperEnterprise01]

im sure of it that this guy owns more guns than Chuck Norris!!

[LearnToTurn7]

I think Hickok should do a review on the '03 springfield

[MonkeyMasher1]

bolt looks a lot smoother than a mosins

[tellyman6688500]

@MonkeyMasher1 i think it is too. i have a mauser and have had a mosin nagant. i like them both, but the mauser is clearly best, both when operating the bolt and everything else.

[MonkeyMasher1]

@tellyman6688500 The precision of german engineering...

[robbykonevil]

if it was used in war it would have way more ware where you hold it.

[THE13EARJEW]

Although I love these. and your videos, but I wouldn't get a Mauser or the Japanese Arisaka type rifles because I'd always wonder how many of our men were killed with it. The Mosins are different in my opinion.

[Vccine]

@THE13EARJEW I don't think those firearms killed your people, I think Japs and nazis did.

[THE13EARJEW]

@Vccine I'm talking about Americans..

[Vccine]

@THE13EARJEW Um yeah? So what you're saying Usa didn't fight Japanese and Germany? As far as I know, they did.

[THE13EARJEW]

@Vccine The Nazis carried Mausers in World War II as well. I just got a little confused. But my point was they were used to kill Americans. I didn't make myself that clear. I apologize.

[Vccine]

@THE13EARJEW Dude I got your point. What I was saying was that guns are merely tools, they did not kill people. People killed other people with them, Im sure you understand that.

[felishaMtaylor1992]

ok the k98 is shorter than the g98 because it is a carbine which the one shown is the k98

[Lipo4961]

I wanna buy it !!

i have one, my great grandfather used it in world war 2, one day my grandfather and his friend were talking and a sniper shot mygrandfathers friend, so my grandfather killed the sniper and sent the gun home, now its my deer rifle and its fun as hell to shoot

[GunsMoreGunsAndStuff]

mountain 'dew'... Germans favorite target ! MADE MY DAY !!!!!!!!!!

[longbeachdirtbag]

so which model is this one?

[eosphorus904]

i looooooooooooooove it

hickok45, can I come shoot in your backyard? That is a range to be envious of....

[JoeyInvisable]

Good Graphic

[residentevil4freek]

I wish you were my grandfather.

[tyiscool777]

nice rifle. Just put one on hold at a local gun shop cant wait to shoot it it is a sweet gun

[Naghelfar1]

The Mg42 used steel cased ammunition. The reason for this was that standard brass ammo would crack and jam the mechanism

[DEMOLITIONMAN109]

could you do a video on the 1903 springfield rifle?

[SpadaccinoLuciano]

I've never seen a straight bolt on a Mauser, only on Mosin-Nagants...it was probably used on the Eastern Front, I guess.

[bluemountaindrivepae]

I could have bought one in El Paso back in the 90s for $98 after tax.. Decided not to as I would have had to UPS it home. Guess I will be going to some gun shows. 8mm is a powerfull long range round.

[virginiatechfanx]

Nice knife

[RuHartnett]

It's bolt seems very smooth..

[umulius71]

Love old guns..Getting on Mauser 1939 soon..

[Molson700]

im getting one tomorrow!

[mayohater2]

@MsChevChelios, the czechoslovakian Vz. 24 was used by a whole german regiment in ww2. germany occupied czechoslovakia and had them manufacture this rifle for their military. this model of mauser was never used in ww1.

[AKWARRIOR1]

what do i need to clean crossive ammo

It was used in and after WW1.

@Jeep546

kidding me?

[Jeep546]

@MsChevChelios no

[MsChevChelios]

@Jeep546

what do you mean

[Jeep546]

@MsChevChelios Yugo's started making "replicas" after WW2

[MsChevChelios]

@Jeep546

you got it. i dont know anything^^

[thevansmack]

@MsChevChelios wrong....get a clue

[himmler251]

@MsChevChelios actually its a czech ZV24, the Germans used them alot, mainly late in the war and for rear line troops

[MsChevChelios]

@himmler251

from germany?

[Eagle421000]

@MsChevChelios Kar98k was made in 1935

[MsChevChelios]

@Eagle421000

wrong

[Eagle421000]

@MsChevChelios What are you talking about? The Kar98k serviced during World War 2 was made 1935-1945.

[HauptmannRob]

@Eagle421000

He says THIS ONE. Not the weapon system entirely!! Its a Mauser G98 with a straight bolt. G98s ended in German service in 1935 i think, this is NOT a K98k. Although it could have been used, he said 'dragged around who knows where' so its possible.

[Twbwyattear]

@MsChevChelios actually it prolly was it is a czech model so it has a straight bolt unlke the german model

[Shadowoftheday09]

@MsChevChelios Vz. 24's were used in WW2...I own one that was captured by the Russians, from the Germans on the Eastern Front.

[148scalemodeling]

@Shadowoftheday09 I dont understand why he though it was ww1. Mine is a russian capture from the romanians on the eastern front

[caseyreavis]

@MsChevChelios the vz 24 was a copy of the german K98k, which wasn't around until 1935, well after wwI and just in time for WWII...

[PyroHerz23]

@MsChevChelios it was used in ww2, my grandpa used one

[TorThAmaN]

omg! this person must be FPSRussia's father !! ;]

[therealjarett]

@TorThAmaN No, this guy can't be FPSFAkeRussia's father, cause he is actually shooting at targets and using a gun that he actually owns. Also note the glasses and hearing safety. FPSRussia was born in Georgia, USA and speaks not a single word of Russian.

[aabceacba]

@therealjarett Lol, I always wondered how FPSRussia got his hands on any gun period. LOL

This guy and fpsrussia can thogeter start a war kkkkkk sooo many weapons

I have one and i try it first time today!

@chainchain8 What did you think? :)

[MACEX1000]

if you dont mind me asking can you make a video of you shooting a krag jorgenson i really like that rifle

[MACEX1000]

has one hell of a kick but if u snug it tightly the force just flows through you and you dont even feel it

[edwardwills]

Anyone have any stories of a Mauser 1916 in .308?

[canbe2shy]

@edwardwills I saw the 1916 date, not sure if they made the .308 then but i own my Grandfather's 1918 in 8mm and use it with open sights deer hunting every year. only problems I have ever had is the remington ammo. The gun is made for pointed ammo not the rounded nose cor-lock rounds so i have been buying hand load ammo, love balistic tips.

[Vlaxerman343]

I have a turkish Mauser kind of like it but the part for the strap is on the bottom of the rifle instead of to the side
