Try to learn shooting fast, I mean the bolt seems to me like it can be really quickly worked without breaking aim. I mean I fired a Einfield SMLE and Kar 98 and both of their bolts are conveniently positioned just above the trigger, and I was able to get a shot off almost every second without breaking aim.
Why would stripper clips not work? K98's were designed to load off of stripper clips. Unless you changed the reciever in any way there's no reason why it wouldn't load from stripper clips...
A lot of people have had the &.92 rechambered to .308 as the .308 ammo is more readily available and less expensive than the 7.92 Mauser ammo. I have a VZ24 7.92 with Nazi markings that I love dearly and am looking for a K98 but would NEVER rechamber or modify either of them as it ruins the historic and cash value of the rifle. I can understand rechambering a rifle but not one of such historic value.
Don't ever get rid of that thing, you may need it someday. If marshal law is declared that would be a useful rifle because it uses the same ammo that the M24/M40A1 sniper, M14 rifle, M60 and M240 machine guns use.
Not necessarily, like I said before that rifle (NOW) uses the same ammunition as a lot of current military weapons in use around the world. In the case of martial law and or UN occupation just pick up ammo from vanquished foes.
Weapons like the M14/M1A, FN FAL, HK G-3/CETME, M24/M40 sniper rifles, M60 machine gun, M240 machine gun, just to name a few. If you know how to shoot a bolt-gun correctly in the modern age, will be a great weapon.
You weren't paying attention were you? This particular K98 is chambered in 7.62x51 NATO (.308 WIN). It was one of many re chambered by the Israelis from it's original 7.92 Mauser caliber. All the weapons I listed are all 7.62x51 NATO (.308 Winchester) not 7.62x39 which is a Russian caliber.
This is a Israeli rebarreled k98k. The Israelis got large shipments of these rifles which they rebarreled to 7.62 NATO for fighting their independence wars.
@aryan8715 the germans changed some of their rifle to 30-06 in ww2 so if and when in battle you run out you pick up more ammo from a dead usa soldier or the dead usa soldiers gun and dont say im lieing cause im not my pappy in ww2 carried a 8mm mauser and a 30-06 mauser
@himmler251 Lolno. The israelis bought the rifles from a few countrys and I don't think they bought any from the British. The Israelis converted from 7.92x57 to 7.62x51NATO in the mid 1950s and into the 1960s since they had recently been granted the use of the 7.62x51 NATO round. If they bought any Mauser's from the British or other commonwealth countrys we'd be seeing some British proof marked stocks and rifles. My Israeli K98k was rebarreled in 1957.
@richardrichard07 You can buy them cheap at Mitchell's Mausers. They are real german war surplus Mausers I guess. Never bought from them so I really dont know how legit it is
@4thReichProductions No, Mitchell's Mausers pieces together guns and stamps them to make them match. Sketchy business practices, quality's not there, they are overpriced (they have to be, they try to pass off refinished guns as original!)
what kind of ammo were you using?I have been told not to fire factory .308 in mine and to shoot only 7.62 nato because the headspace is not the same on the rounds.
wow u dont know a whole lot about mausers do u what he has is an Israli 98k given to Israil after ww2 they rechambered them in the 50's to take 7.62x51 theres alot of mauser chambered in calibers other than 7.92x57 some are 7x57 some are 6.5x55 some are 7.65x53
Now.. Ive always wondered. I see alot of these surplus guns aruond at gun shows.. that are built in WW2 and stuff. I really want one of these, but theyre so old i wonder are they fireable? Im really into guns, but i dont really know anything about how to properly treat an older one. ive always wanted an M1 carbine and a 8mm mauser like this one.
Most of them are fine. If they arent bent, or if you look down the barrel and the rifling is still ok, and its not loose and sloppy it should be fine. The age of something doesnt matter, the present condition is what matters. This Mauser was built in 1945 and not taken very good care of, and its still fine. My mosin was built in 43 I believe, as was my Enfield, and those are still great guns.
I have a Czech made VZ74 circa 1950's. Bought it 13 years ago for 100 bucks. You can still find them in most gun shops, depending on make and mods depends on the price. I seen French and Italian Mausers for 80 bucks (those two countries make the shortest overall gun length, prob because their men are short).A German K98 w/o a scope can run close to 200$. Second most reliable firearm next to an AK47, nothing sounds as sweet as the crack of a Mauser.
no, sam98k, that IS a German Kar 98k rifle. The Israelis restocked them or cut those groves into the fore end of the rifle. I suspect that it's still possible if bigguy6100 looks really carefully, he can still make out some of the original German markings. But these are, without a doubt, former Kar 98ks.

But as you can see, it's a nice shooter.... Nothing wrong with a .308.
