i had a mauser 88. it was one hell of a sturdy rifle.

I didn't even think it was possible to reenact WWI, after all, no farmer wants to have his land dredged up to make trenches for a reenactment that only lasts 3 days at most.

@jasser222 If it's the one at 1:23 it's not a Mauser. I have one and it looks nothing like that.

@bf1918 Actually, I think that was either the Steyr Mannlicher K85 rifle or carbine.

World War II made more victims than the first wold war, but the first world war was a way more terrible than the second .Have you ever heard of Toxic Gases, or amputations ?
These guns are in beautiful condition. I wonder where they get them?

When I talked to the german soldier he said that he bought the rifle for 120 dollars on the internet

$120 for the Gewehr 88? That's a nice deal.

It's not a Gewehr 88 It's a german ww1 rifle I think it's a Mauser

Yes it is a German WWI rifle and it's called the Gewehr 88. It was also made by the German Arms Commission and not by Mauser despite incoporating the Mauser bolt design. Type in Gewehr 88 in Google Images and take a look for yourself.
