Side by side, a WWII Mauser K98 made in 1943 and a Springfield Arms M1 Garand. These two elegant rifles came face to face when the U.S. invaded Europe in 1944.

  • OK, SERIUSLY!!! STOP calling the Mauser 98 a nazi gun! IT IS NOT A NAZI GUN!!! The Mauser 98 family of rifles came into use LONG before the nazi party came to power in Germany! In 1898! Germany was an empire then, ruled by kaiser Wilhelm II. The nazis came to power in january 1934 after winning the election in 33. So please dont soil the reputation of one of the greatest bolt action rifles of ALL TIMES by calling it a nazi gun!

  • @Verdunveteran Alright let's address this once and for all. First, anything with the term "Nazi" in the title gets 10x more attention, which is why I originally included it. With that said, the k98 was a reworked variation of the Gew 98 specifically for use during the Nazi period (1933-1945). It's not a knock to the k98 or soiling the reputation, it's just what it is. This stigma/infamy is a huge part of the guns popularity. Lastly, well, it has Swastikas on it?!

  • how much did you buy that gorgeous garand for?

    

  • @josieonetoothh It's a CMP Service Grade - $595 

  • @pcarfan944 pretty good for service grade. what did you have done to it? both rifles look great!

  • @xxuncexx Thank you! The only thing I did was smooth out the new production CMP wood with some 0000 steel wool and finish it with Howards wood preserver. This K98 is a Russian Capture with a rare semi-kriegsmodell stock. I stripped the shellac using Acetone, gently cleaned the wood with hot water, and gave it the same treatment with Howards. I also removed the Russian bluing from the buttplate and rear sight, as they all came in the white from the factory. Thanks for watching.
