Hey Hickok! I really enjoy watching your numerous vids you've posted over the years. I was just wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing the Colt New Agent. I have one and would be interested in what you think
Thanks! I got so pissed at Facebook's nit-picking I closed my account. I am using MeWe now. By placing your videos on Full30 you allow me to continue to see them but I wish Facebook would just go away! Thanks to you and John!
hey hickock please do a video of a glock 25, here in brazil have a caliber restriction and 380 is a best legal caliber here
thanks !
Its history, man....get over it.
MeWe? Facebook? Same jews, different names...
When I was stationed in Germany as the CO of a unit in Bavaria, I met some German officers and they invited me and 3 of my Sailors to a shooting match.
Simple contest: one shot from a Gewehr 98. Closest to the bull wins. I have to say I was VERY impressed with the recoil of the rifle. Quite a good kick.
The winner of the contest? An elderly gentleman who had carried a Mauser in the WW2 Wehrmacht. He nailed that bull right down the middle.
It was great fun!
Thanks for your service...
we gonna ignore him being an SS soldier or ???
edgar allan woah he was not the German SS... the elderly man was in the Wehrmacht the *Non-N@zi* part of the military which was the German army.
@@municipalorrery The Werchmant isn't the SS they weren't exactly clean either but there was a difference
Small thing for everyone here, not all Germans in WW2 were nazis. Some were normal people who didn’t want to be involved with the events at that time but were put into the army anyway
In 1959 I bought a Swedish Mauser for $20 - it was great. Unfortunately I sold it when I had to go on active duty with the USAF.
I still miss it and wish I still had it. Great shooting rifle.
Definitely one of the best looking rifles of WWI.
And ww2! They were still used as the standard rifle for snipers actually!
THANK YOU hickok45, you are living proof that a completely normal, safe, levelheaded guy with a healthy interest in firearms actually exists, and is not causing anyone any harm just enjoying his right to bear arms and having an awesome time doing it. The sane outnumber the psychos, this insane gun restriction has to stop. Please never stop what you're doing, and I hope your son carries on your legacy!
Yep makes a lot of sense that just about any psycho who can scrape up $600 can buy a useful gun like an AR15
German rifles are my favourite
Deutsche Wertarbeit 😉(german high quality)
This model of Mauser rifles were made with varieties of ammunitions, depending on customers specifications. for example. Brazillians get 7mm or something. Siamese specifications were to use the existing 8mm Mannlicher rounds!. etc.
Japanese rifles are my favourites. German rifles are favourite too!
@@BotchPL which Japanese rifle? Mine's the Arisaka.
Ja man beste waffe:)
It is more like a piece of art than a rifle lol
I agree.
+hickok45 sir , can u review nerf guns? :)
no it is a rifle it was used by millions in a world war, not by artists but by standard human cattle that was sacrificed for the power of a national banking cartel
@@KingScorpio84

They died for globalist scum.
Now you sound like me...
I'm a proud owner of a Gewehr 98 rifle myself
I would love to be. How much do they usually run for?
I'm curious as well
Troy Hamilton I picked mine up for 450.00
I own a sporterized GEW 98. They make a great "backup" deer rifle
I saw a Gewehr 98 rifle that was supposedly manufactured in 1942 and was actually at the battle of Stalingrad (according to the seller). I have no idea if it was true, and it looked in really good condition for being so old and in war. I saw it at an Gun Show in San Antonio (2004) for $800. I wish I had the money then, I would have bought it.
What a great, old battle rifle...love seeing these type gun/ history vids.Soo many people dont know what a fine cartridge the 8mm is.
You're a really loveable guy, hickock45. In my country I don't get to even think of owning or shooting a weapon, but these videos never fail to make me smile. How genuine you are and how interesting is the history and engineering behind those weapons - I rarely ever feel like I understand what people mean as much as I do when watching you. I hope the USA never takes this right away from you.
Hickok45 vs. Stripper Clips.
The trial of humanity.
yes
Hickok45 vs Srippers would be more interesting...
Wonder what it was like for the German soldiers in WWII. This is something the US army didn't have to worry about.....unless they were armed with the M1903
The military doctrine was different, the germans kinda stuck to WW1 tactics and tought the heart of the squad was a rapid fire machine gun that can suppress an entire open field with riflemen to support it.
When they finally came to their sense, they invented the motherfucking assault rifle.
+Gianni Carrea They did use the LMG support tactic, but I think they actually invented the fast movement and named it 'Blitzkrieg'. One British soldier that served in WW2 said that in the beginning they still dug trenches but that didn't work due to the German's new tactics, and over they came...
They made 102 million of these. This means its the secound most produced gun in the world(after the ak) and the most produced bolt action rifle in the world
It's actually true. I always thought the 2nd place would go to the Mosin-Nagant. However I wonder where Germany distributed all of the Mausers, since it were more than enough rifles for their army (and their allies).
I bought myself a Gew.98 just this past week (1914 Mauser Werke). Great video; these WW1-vintage service rifles don't get enough attention. Thank you very much.
Just by imagining the Germans shooting this perfectly made and beautiful piece with their gloves 100 years ago, gives me goosebumps. I love their style of doing things, and I will always admire it so much. Always doing the things the way they should be made, and no one is close to achieve it like they did and currently do.
Yeah they like to do things properly lets say. But they get a little bit crazy sometimes and some of them have some perfectionism - mania
@@bambomango9427 thats just how we germans are haha
Amen. fimmt684 obviously doesn't have a BMW. Great to drive but overcomplicated@@bambomango9427
I don't know how you come up with these gems. Every Gewehr 98 I've seen looks like it was dragged behind a pickup truck down a gravel road.
The clocking sounds as well as the actual shot sound this kind of rifle makes is satisfying.
I like how the ground on your range is absolutely littered with spent shells and casings
I was shooting my K98, M1 Garand, and Mosin Nagant the other day and was thinking to myself how crazy it was that people were shot with these weapons. You can feel a big difference in the old war rounds common modern battlefield round like an AR or 308.
Hickok45 is the only person who could look at a 4' long gun and go "that needs to be longer. Let's throw a pad on it, stretch out that length of pull."
I love how he always says "let's smoke a little pot." Cracks me up every time.
If you smoke crack, it pots you up. I hear.. ;-)
I will be shooting my first ever rifle this weekend (a Mosin Nagant) I can't wait!
Hold the rifle good, it's going to kick hard
Hope you're ready for the mule kick
Enjoy!
I don't know what you all mean by the kick, I honestly don't feel it. It was also my first rifle but it doesn't kick hard, it's very heavy and handles the recoil well.
Listen to your instructor and keep that buttstock tight to your shoulder. It will kick, but as long as you don´t leave it any slack to build up momentum you should be fine.
Please come back and tell us how it went. :)
Anybody else ever realized that Hickok's table, given his exceptional height, has to REALLY high?
After being subscribed for YEARS only now do I realize this...
How tall is he?
He is 6'-8", as he again says in this video.
His son John (the cameraman) is 6'-10".
I have a pic of me standing in between them. At 6'-0, I look like a damn midget in comparison. :-)
It's not a table it is his carport!
@@moparedtn wtf thats crazy
Been using this one in battlefield 1 for a long long time, so many service stars, i memorized bullet velocity and distance range shooting, which made me really good with this gun
What im trying to say is that, one day i will buy it for real and have it in my house as iconic gun along with kar98
The great thing about the Mauser is the bolt, the design of the bolt is still used today. The Enfield bolt was a great design too, but the mauser is the stronger and smoother one.
"it just makes you want to smoke a little pot ... lets smoke a little pot" BANG - hickock45
Great video, it's like you are coming back to work. Showing a great gun and you teaching us the fine points of it, plus your shooting. It is great to have you back with these longer videos. Keep it up, as I need all the help you can give me on these guns and the new ones. Thanks
I had one that was made in 1916 and had been sent to Turkey during WWI. What a wonderful shooting rifle.
The hole in the trigger guard is for the winter trigger that gets attach to the tiny hole so you will shoot with an exposed lever and will not freeze your fingers.
That's the beautiful sound of German engineering.
I love the 98, man. Nothing like 8mm punching holes in pretty much anything. I'd love to own one.
I'm absolutely in love with the old Imperial Gewehr 98's. It's the ultimate bolt action system and truth be told, the action is way smoother than the K98k's
At least for these two, the G98 bolt is smoother than the K98K.
i think a straight bolt handle helps the bolt pull straight back as opposed to a bent handle where you might be levering on the sides of the reciever.
I have to disagree, as the 98k and the M48 I own have much smoother actions than my Gewehr 98s. I've polished the Gewehrs to clean up the action a bit, but that straight bolt is clunky in operation. When production cost is critical (as it was during the Karabiner production) it is revealing when a more expensive option is utilized over an existing style. In other words, they wouldn't have opted for a more time consuming to produce curved bolt if the straight bolt wasn't problematic in comparison.
The bend handle shouldn't have any effect to that, it was just build in for easier and faster reload, so if it would be worse, in that regard the wouldn't have put it in to beginn with.
I think Marvin is right, that the time when the rifles are produced are relevant. Because the quality during wartime is going down of course. I heard that the best quality (for the K 98k) is in the late 30s where there were still enough material, but also the production methods where more advanced then in earlier years of production.
This is one of my most favourite rifle. I always love bolt-action rifles specially, kar98 and gewehr.
Oh man that weapon is going to be on battlefield 1.
Trying to play, but the servers down...
Justin Miller yea the beta is out today playing right now while watching this video lol
Not big surprise... I mean, i'ts BF1
+97 SVT yeah some kind of hack happened
+Husein Al-bader what?
Gun nuts are going to hate me for this, but I love this gun in bf1 haha.
why would anyone hate that this gun is legendary
The tacticool crowd would. You know, the guys that call themselves "operators" and only shoot Glocks and ARs.
Battlefield is a great game. it's the call of duty wankers who think they're gun experts because they play COD
+Dorelaxen i think nobody should be able to call himself an operator without going through the hell courses and classes
+Dorelaxen tacticool XD
Hickok takes me back to my grandparents, in the country, shooting guns. It's amazing.
Dear Hickok45,
I just joined the NRA for 5 years thanks to you and the excellent content you upload to your channel.
THANK YOU and your son for all your hard work !
Life is good :)
Thanks for joining the NRA.
Love the videos on the old historical guns. Nice to learn some history on the classics!
Another great video, informative, and highly entertaining. Thanks Hickok and John.
This might just be my favourite bolt-action. The cycling sound is euphoric.
So cool it reaks history. Not only inspired our '03, the 8mm case is the parent of our beloved 30-06. Claw extractor, etc etc. Rock solid action for many a custom rifles. A winner, all around.
Beautiful old piece. The Turkish K. Kale Mausers very closely resemble the G98, although it has a more traditional rear sight. I do think the Turkish Mausers tend to have much more beautiful wood, though.
The Springfield 1903 might have been derived from the Mauser, but it's definitely a much smoother gun. It's much easier to open the action and there's less play when operating the bolt.
16:58 JUST MAKES YOU WANT TO SMOKE A LITTLE POT.😆😆😆
Nothing beats the old craftmanship. You can hear on the sound alone what a difference in quality it is between old and new.
I own a Husqvarna M96 "long rifle" and it is the same model as the German model 1898, accurate and just unbeatable really.
I can listen to this man talking about the history of guns all day.
Refurbished or not, that is one beautiful rifle. I put Mausers right up there with AKs, 1911s, and single-action revolvers as my favorite guns to shoot. An original Gew 98 (with roller-coaster sights) is at the top of my want list.
Damn what a beautiful weapon. I was interested in WW1 a few years ago, and that's what took me to all these cool channels.....
Thank you for posting this video, this apparently was my great-grandfather's specialty gun, so it's really important to me to be able to see it in action!!
A very fine video of a great rifle.
But, in all those mentioned, one slipped by my all numbers matching 1891 Argentine Mauser, 7,65x 53 I picked it up in a pawn shop , sling and all, except the matching cleaning rod.
I had fired it , and fell in love with it , and am planning to collect more models of the Mauser, especially the 98.
Thanks, God Bless.
Amazing piece of history, thank you for sharing it with us!
@ 6:55
Boise Gun Co. In Boise Idaho is where I got my 1917 Lithgow Lee Enfield and my 1941 K98. Both beautiful rifles. I got a Mosin from a pawn shop for 100$ back in 2012. Now they're much harder to find.
You live in Idaho?
@@AlexKS1992
Yes. Boise.
@@frauleinhohenzollern I live in Shelley which is a 10 mile drive from Idaho Falls.
@@AlexKS1992
How is the cost of living there? Boise is getting hard... You can throw a dart at a map of Boise and land on a job, but it only pays 10-13 an hour while cost of housing is sky rocketing year after year. It's insane. And Boise is becoming liberal, which I can't stomach.
@@AlexKS1992
I'm wanting to find somewhere I can hopefully start a family... But I'm old fashioned. And my traditional views of family don't go well with today's economy 😢
I just purchased my first gun today and I’m proud to say it was a 1943 Turkish g98 and I’m so stoked to shoot it.
In 2021.. this is still an awsome video. Salut Paul von Mauser.. and Hickok to make me understand how impressive the mauser bolt is.
You have to admit, all bf1 stuff aside. The m98 was a great weapon for its time.
I agree. It's still a great rifle.
How much would a all matching serial number G98 cost? Know anyone selling?
RLTW Toastay A WWII all matching K98k will run you from $1500-$3000 depending on what one is willing to pay. Hard to imagine an all matching WWI all matching G 98 would be cheaper.
@@blazinpuffs well the G98 was used by many nations in the world
Rollercoaster sight translates as "Kurvenvisier" in German, for the record. Greetings from Italy!
I actually had a very similar story, I recently picked up a Gew98 myself, me and my friend were going gun store to gun store as he was looking for an MPX, after 4 stores with nothing really interesting, we went to this one really disorganized gun store that was way out of the way to get to, but they just so happened to have the MPX my friend was looking for, while he was checking out I was just browsing around and found it just way in the corner surrounded by other old Winchesters and Remingtons, it was in great condition, had matching serial numbers on everything with the exception it was missing its rear iron sight, picked it up for like a nickle and got a replacement sight.
+hickok45 I've watched a lot of you vids but this one.. It's the most heartful and loving, I can feel your appreciation of the gun itself and people (well, person actually) who designed it, through the screen. Thank you for what you're doing.
Hey Hickok :D
The german word for the Rearsight is: "Lange-Visier"... the simplest translation into English would be "Long - Sight"
Easily the best bolt action rifle of it's age. Maybe even the best ever. Some will say the Lee Enfield is superior but they are dead wrong. The only advantage the Enfield has over the Mauser is a high rate of fire. Literally every other aspect is straight up inferior. More prone to jams, shorter effective range, lower accuracy; the list can go on. Nah, give me a Mauser any day of the week.
The Lee Enfield is great, but once you empty the magazine, you still have to load five again TWICE in order to get the 10-round capacity. Generally, it's not going to actually allow twice as many rounds to be fired during the same time period, except maybe on the first magazine. Plus, that funky Lee Enfield clip is not as smooth to operate as the Mauser clips are.
The Lee Enfield chargers work just fine :) just need to get the older ones.
Enfields won't jam if you know how to use your rifle.
And lower accuracy? Please. Your human error will come into play long before the rifle's errors will.
03 Springfield is better than both of them
+Adam Hauskins Are you trying to start WW3, cuz that's how you start WW3
My grandfather brought home the KAR 98k from WW2. I have yet to have it gone through and refurbished and brought back into shooting condition, but I have long wanted to have it done. Such a beautiful firearm.
Don't fix it. It likely works just fine as-is and you will significantly decrease the value doing something as simple as refinishing the stock in the slightest.
Take it to a competent gunsmith to have it checked to see if it's capable of being fired as is, you really don't want to change anything from it's original/ brought back condition. Even something as simple as refinishing the stock could really lower it's value. Also see if you can find the "bring back" papers he would have been issued (unless he snuck it back home), those papers can be very valuable and possibly double the value of the gun.
Don't do it. Shoot it if you can. If you refurbish it, we will all hate you, forever.
don't hate me, I haven't really thought that hard about it. But thank you for bringing that into perspective. I believe my aunt has the bring home papers as well.
+jamesio20 So it's probably worth a lot! The way it IS!
Hi, Hickok45! I love your channel. This video gave me a flashback to about 30 years ago when I bought some old rifles at a garage sale. One was a Mauser 98, but when I got it home and had a chance to examine it in detail, I discovered that it had a rotary magazine. After a lot of research, which was not easy in those pre-Internet days, I discovered that it was manufactured with that design change for Greece.
13,000 views in 3 hours, even my liberal friends know who hickok45 is.
luckily you dont have to be in the political right wing to love history and the sport of shooting
+Stan Hilt No, but you do if you want to keep your gun rights. Hillary and the rest of the left would love to abolish the 2nd ammendment.
Just a dutch guy here, biggest i get to shoot without jumping trough 20 hoops is a .22 caliber airgun. Still loving the sport!
small question as i dont know how the political system in the US works, but is it that easy to get rid of an amendment in your constitution?
+Stan Hilt It is hard to do it without the Supreme Court. If Hillary wins our election, she can flip our court to a very liberal anti gun court. That could ruin our court. But someone has to get a case to the Supreme Court to do anything. They can't make a decision randomly, they need a case on it.
okay so the supreme court can amend the constitution without intervention of either the president or congress as long as they have a case to base their decision on? Seems to me like a strange mixing of powers?
fun times
That butt pad/stock extender is legendary. It been on more guns and been through more round and in more videos than hickock himself
I recall, as a young pup, you could walk into a Kmart around 1965-68 and in the Sporting Goods section, they had barrels of these very rifles for sale for like $12.95. They were military surplus and were in rough shape. My best friends' Father bought a 7mm and a 8 mm and refinished them. When he was finished, they were absolutely BEAUTIFUL. But imagine that - buying these beauties at a K Mart back in the day.
Great video once again, but I hadn't expected anything else :)
Could you make a video about the HK G36 and/or HK G3?
Finally. Really great video mr kok
The cycling of the bolt on this thing gives me chills.
My Opi, a German WWII vet, was a huge collector of antique firearms and I wound up inheriting this very firearm. Even after all these years the action is extraordinarily smooth. I have yet to shoot it but I reckon it'd shoot beautifully after a good cleaning. Great video (as are all your videos). Thanks Hickok45.
Could you do a video on the carcano or the 1886 lebel?
I'd like to to do the Carcano, especially.
+hickok45 What kind of ammo does the Carano use
+- Tezzah 6.5x52 Carcano or 7.35 Carcano, depending on the rifle. I also suggested the 1886 Lebel because of its place in history.
- Tezzah
There are also 8mm mauser carcanos,but they are quite rare. If there are no markings that read 7.35 or 7.92, the rifle will be a 6.5
+TreeWizard648 Thank U so much appreciate it
didnt they shorten the barrel because after ww1 they were limited as to the number of "rifles" they chould produce due to the treaty of versailles so they shortened the barrel and reclassified the rifle as a Carbine there for not making them subject to the number that chould be produced
I believe that was one of the ways they got around it.
Mauser also repeated a lot of their serial numbers to hide how many rifles they were producing.
I believe the term "Karabiner" refers to the whether or not the rifle has a through hole in the stock for a sling, not because it has been shortened down.
Germany had a surplus of Gew.98's following the first world war and because the Versailles treaty prohibited them from having over a certain number of long rifles they simply turned down their bolt handles, removed the rear "Lange Visier" type sights with a conventional tangent leaf sight and they cut a a hole in the stock for a side sling, making it an "Karabiner 98B". Also do note that karabiner can also refer to a spring loaded hook that mountaineers and such use.
+Uriel Ventris
That is correct, carbine in german refers to the sling arrangement, not the length of the gun.
Early-wW1 issue Gew 98s were actually issued with dust covers with nearly ALL of them being discarded by the soldiers. Rarely you'll encounter one that still has the dust cover attachment.
Mister Hickok 45, I am big fan of Hickok 45 & Sun and I've seen just about all of your exellent videos at your shooting range. it's awesome and I learned many things I didn't know before about fire arms safety , weapons categories, Your videos made me get better knoledge and understanding. I am exited. Please, keep on doing this great videos ..Regards to you and your sun from way down under Australia. Mich......
I used the brazilian variant "M968" one on my military drill
this is a question I will never here " yes " to. has anyone seen him miss? 😂😂😂 this guy can pick up a gun and hit anything 😂😂
The only time he missed more than twice was with the cz75 pistol but then again he said that the trigger was so smooth and light he couldn't help but keep pulling the trigger.
Rajbir Dhadda ikik he's ovibously gonna miss a few times but I mean come on, this guy is like a legend.
+Alec Thayer he's definitely better than all us.
He misses so that we can believe that he is normal... hahaha
The start of the video he misses a couple times.
I absolutely love the look of the G98. especially the partial handguard and straight bolt handle. I still regret not picking up the Turkish G98 clone.
I own a Gewehr 98 100th Anniversary model. Very neat rifle.
Ist amazing i was in Germany last week and they hardly have any Mausers around you must dig around. Whish i was American or Cannadian you guys know how to Keep guns alive :)
Alex Sp As an American, we have them but gosh are they expensive lol.
I just bought one for $200, they're not really expensive until you start getting into collector grades.
Alex Sp: Wrong country. We have tons of them in Norway. Just about every gun owner have at least one. Back in the late 90s, about 40.000 were sold from the military, so I got a very nice one from 1941 for something like 120 USD. I also have a 1908 Brazil Mauser from DWM.
Good timing.
Every now and then I come back to this video and get my Mauser fix.
always come back to this one. My favorite of all your videos
I just bought a 1947 Spanish 8mm Mauser made in La Corunna. Any differences in function or disassembly I should know about? I haven’t shot it yet.
I have your rifles big brother. Info is scarce on both of them bro. Be mindful of the bore. It seems ammo used in its day was corrosively primed. Im currently looking for a barrel.
Uhhh, Spandau... Lindybeige might confuse this with an MG-42.
The quality of this thing is superior. I got one in my hands lately and man..it feels incredible. It was being produced 100 years ago and no manufactuer untill now could copy so great feel to their rifles in comparison to germans invention back in 1898.
It was Paul Mausers Magnum Opus. I think he knew he created something special and it would outlive him. It is what all other actions want to be.
Unfortunately, I am German and may not know what that is! Because Hitler´s third empire is not dissolved here!
Already get 2 years in jail for only one 22 catridge! Poor Germany!

Anyone else been playing the Battlefield 1 beta? I was using this gun in game and then he made a video on it!
Stfu
Hey, be nice. A lot of people discover the lifestyle through video games these days.
I'm pretty sure there's no 98 in the Beta, only a 95.
+dup the 98 is in the beta you just have to unlock it
+Don Calo Chyeah... with that attitude...
The reason why they shortened the Kar 98 is because after WWI The Treaty of Versailles said they couldn't have very many rifles. So they Took the Gewehr 98 cut about a foot off the Barrel and it became a Carbine and that means it wasn't covered by the treaty of Versailles so that's why they made so many.
that it fires & looks to be in good working order is testament
If had to choose between this and a Mosin-Nagant 1891, what kind of the 98 would you rather have?
I own 5 mosins and a K98k. The Mauser is far superior in almost every feature except bang for buck.
Hughes Enterprises this was supposed to be a joke but my lack og English skills kind killed it... :P
Hughes Enterprises Lots of people says the same, that the Mauser 98 is the best bolt action rifle ever made. And I agree with them
i choos the k98 over evry rifle its is a bjutie
The best bolt action rifle made is the Lee Enfield No.4. The System98 (i.e. G98, K98a, K98k) is close second, but the action of the LeeEnfield has a slightly smoother action and a 10 round magazine, compared to the 5 round G98
You should do a yugo m24/47 rifle video I own a few and their isn't alot of info/videos on them
you can tell this guy loves his old bolt actions. awesome vids
Iv'e been obsessed with this rifle ever since i read All Quiet On The Western Front when i was in school.
Federal have 8mm Mauser Ammo? Nice, do they Export to Europe? xD Maybe they are (export Costs included) cheaper then the very few Vendor's in Europe =) Cause this Ammo is one of the most expensive of all, cause only few still produce it, but Millions of the 98 Guns are still in use. Best Hunting Rifle at all, and just lovely. I just love my 98k! Take down a 200kg wild male Boar with 1 Shot at 200 Meters without Scope without any Trouble or Agony for the Wild.
Federal's 8mm is pretty weak. The only full-power commercial 8mm ammo that I'm aware of is Sellier & Belliot (which may be easier to source in Europe than in the US); otherwise cheap Eastern Europe bulk military surplus ammo is going to outperform Federal, Remington or Winchester 8mm.
U.S. 8mm rounds are usually soft points for hunting or cheap target practice.
I still find good military surplus spam cans of 440rds fmj ball online tho.
German engineering is always the best!
I always kind of feel relieved when you miss. It's like...hey, he misses too! It isn't just me!
I have a K-98 S/42 Oberndorf made in 1937 ! Awesome rifle !
Also have some surplus 8mm Mauser ammo !
