LMAO $1200 FOR A REFURBISHED!?!?! Yea no thanks.
Meh, Mitchell's go for more than that, but they're really nice refurbs. In video, I'm seeing stock fitment issues and serious pitting under the new bluing.... they were in rough shape.
People in YT comments rarely put their money where their mouth is anyway though. 'I'd buy if you made this!' -Doesn't buy it when they do. YT people are cheapo trolls.
I don’t understand the attraction to such rifles. People will believe anything the internet tells them nowadays. Mitchell’s Mausers are refurbished and humped up fake garbage just like these. No collector value or original rifle left. “ACT FAST” “ALL MATCHING” “ORIGINAL”, yeah eff off internet. I’d rather spend 3k plus (yes I have) on a completely legit matching example. I understand that not everyone can do that, I really get it, but it’s something to aim for instead of collecting garbage. You might as well collect cigarette butts at that point.
@@deadeyeddanny A Mitchell's? Not for $1600+. Did recently get a Yugo captured (and refurbed) Sauer CE43 K98K. Still has the dirty birds! More enjoyable to shoot than Bloke on the Range led me to believe...
@Isaac Woolley They're not 'destroying' the 'originality' any more than most collectors do. The guns become neglected by the collectors, begin to rust, and then all the rust and finish with it gets removed with some kroil and fine steel wool. Or worse.
You can tell from the pitting scars under the new bluing that these guns were very rough. They came out of AFRICA, which should be a great indicator of their true condition. No one collects K98K's to get AFRICAN 'originality,' they get them for WW2 'originality.' Well that was lost in sheds in Ethiopia. No one wants essence of Africa in their German dirty bird guns...
You can buy an unmessed with factory original bolt only mismatch for this price.... people just don't have the paitience to look for one. There are very specific values on K98 varieties and these complete mismatch refurbs fall into the Russian capture territory, $600-$700...
Damn, Y'all must be smoking some good stuff for wanting 1200 for a refurb
Guarantee they still sell out though
@@fishes249 I wouldn't doubt it, younger people wanting these because of games and would idiotically pay these Gun Broker prices
More suckers seem to be being born at an exponential rate these last few years.
@@fishes249 LOL! It looks like they have already sold most of their stock. A sucker is born every day.
There are plenty of idiots that will buy these
A Russian capture refinished still has history, albeit postwar.
But a JRA refinished? Between the lack of authenticity and the reviews on the rifles they refurbished out of Ethiopia, these might be worth even less than a Russian capture on the open market.
Less than Yugo capture I'd think. My Yugo capture is great. The guns in video, honestly, they've had MAJOR rust events that took their original finish and left serious pitting....
You guys are out of your damn mind if you think I’m going to spend 1300+ for a refurbished K98
Where are yall getting your crack?
1200, that would be a great big 👎 ⛔ 👎 NO.
I will give you $200 for a JRA scrubbed K98. No more, no less.
Lol
Original, no refurb guns are worth $1200. These are not worth that price a all. If you were foolish enough to but one of these, you just screwed yourself out of hundreds of dollars that holds only name in collectors value.
I've always wanted a German K98 but I never imagined them being worth $1200. Guess I'll have to pass up this opportunity.
You can get them cheaper. There out there. Just gotta look
Believe it or not that's what they go for
@@wolfsden3812 No for a untouched one maybe but they can for cheaper to "believe it or not"
For the budget minded collector, there are other options: Russian captures, Yugo captures that still maintain the German markings, or what I did - Buy a cheap K98k sporter and install it on a surplus Yugo capture K98k wood stock. I now have a more "authentic" K98k for $600.
How do these rifles have any collectible value if they are completely refinished? Collectors look for original finish and patina.
OOOOF! These look like they were very pitted before rebluing. Based on the metal condition and the painted on rack numbers, I am guessing these came from Ethiopia. No mention of bore condition either. Looks like Mitchell's is starting to get competition.
The refurbishment is a bit of a turnoff to me. Unless they were completely in the white, I think it would’ve been better to leave them.
Look at the pitting. They were extremely rusty, to the point no one would want them except to refurb.
Is there an option for the highly rust pitted versions?
Love how you work the bolt but don't know enough to hold the trigger and the close the bolt and decocking the rifle.
I had a K98, but honestly the Yugo M48 is better and costs way less. It doesn't have the history but if you want a great shooting Mauser go M48
If you do want the history of an actual 98k, the Russian capture ones can found for well under the 1200 that these guys are asking.... Maybe even as cheap as $600. Both guns are gonna imports so that one might have a capture mark or a peened marking doesn’t really equate to a $600 difference. Neither allows anyone to maintain the illusion that someone’s grandpa brought it home from Normandy or something.
You can lie to yourself, but don't lie to us. You bought the Yugo because it was cheap. Don't church it up. The reason these old milsurps are worth why they are, the history they represent, and supply vs demand.
A Savage Axis or Ruger American is 'better' and cheaper than a Yugo Mauser, and yet you bought the Yugo...
Comrade Josip Broz approves this comment.
I have a Yugo K98. I win.
@@tedhodge4830 only if it’s not from Classic. Have one too, kinda awful.
The thick butt plate and sight hood came after 1940, and the solid style front barrel clamp is late war production. It looked like all the pre 1941 rifles had later hardware on them.
Why is this not a surprise. A refinished gun being sold for way more than its worth at Classic. This is some Mitchel's Mauser level heresy
Geez, for that much I might as well go get a Bring Back or non RC 98k Mauser. Just last week, there was a RC in VG+ in my local gun classifieds for $500.
Wow refurbs go for 1200? Im sure they shoot great but damn.
There’s a strong chance they don’t shoot great... these are obviously from the Ethiopian stockpile, many of which have sewer pipe bores. So unless they also rebarreled them too, it’s a gamble.
hobofactory I didnt realize they’re ethiopian. 1200 is insane in that case and from what i have heard you are correct about the barrels. Well might make an expensive wall hanger lol.
Refurbished from classic firearms means these rifles were in such terrible shape we sent them off to be “refurbished“ so we could sell them at an inflated price. The sewer pipe bore is still intact.
I have an Israeli 98K in 7.62 nato
Still has eagles in wood and metal
Barrel is brand new , my receiver marked
BYF. 1944
We’ve got to stop allowing companies like this sell semi legit firearms at VERY inflated prices that destroy surplus market.
I just purchased a bnz 45 single bolt rune that some idiot reblued. I was going to restore it but the 1945 stocks are a little pricey for a restoration on a reblued gun.
Are these rifles matching numbers?
This is my wet dream right here hehe i wish I could open a box full of k98kar
Does it take Glock mags?
For that price tag it better
I bought an all matching, non refurbished vet bring back DOU 44 with original sling for 1200 shipped.
$1200 😔🙃
How many friends can you refer on the giveaway? Been trying to figure this out on the last few giveaways. If you do not lock down how many are allowed, people will use fake accounts to skyrocket the entries making the average person very unlikely to win.
Please tell me theyre not in .308 or 30-06
$1200 for refurb? No no no
I bought a Rc K98 for about 550 for 1200 you can buy a all matching non referb.
You can get an original one for $1200... Different codes/years will bring more $ then others
I really love to get some more rifle but ammunition are hard to get these days
Just bought a wonderful, Russian capture refurb for $500 perfect for re-enacting and shooting which is exactly why I got it. If I had $1200 to spend on a K98 , I’d seek out a good condition, mostly matching “ vet bring back “ K98 in unmolested configuration.
@Isaac Woolley .....then YOU got a deeeeeel !
$400 at most
Aren't all originals going for less than $1,000? I've seen some lots at auctions with multiple rifles from around WWII going for 2,000 and the lots had 3-4 rifles.
Just depends, but short answer is no. All original and matching in high condition is more like $2k these days. But these prices are pretty damn high for what they are. The “not safe the shoot” full kreigsmodell with late sight was probably the most valuable gun in the lot imo.
Checked the website just now, and out of the dozens of K98’s that were in those boxes, you’re all sold out. Help?
That Russian shellac work and wear screams “no more than $500”, maybe $800 for an absolutely perfect looking rifle with a superb bore and bolt
the standard model was made in 1933
So they couldn't sell the fair/poor condition african ones that they gouged us on and decided to refinish them to sell for all original good condition price?
The price is a bit high i laid 150 for mine a few years ago
Anyone else thinking that for rifles like this we should just be able to get them from the primary source? As opposed to a third party like classic.
Why so expensive!!!
Wouldn’t be surprised if they sold out completely k98s are too popular.
The k98 was made for a 196 grain bullet.
So what’s the hint for Wednesday’s gun?
So, does refurb milsurp mean charge a lot of money these days?
haha i bought my russian capture for 290 dollars about eight years ago and its a tack driver
556k subs, fitting 😀
Classic Firearms have no shame lol i would be embarrassed to ask for does outrageous prices lol
Oh, I miss the 175 - 250 Russian captures. I need 34, 36, and 45 date to complete my set.....don't think I'll ever complete it.....I don't care for a "new" looking surplus weapon. I need a 45 SWP. Sounds like we need Interordnance to import some 8mm Garands.
I need a 40,43,and a 45 to complete my group. Mine are all vet bring backs. 3 are all matching the rest are mismatched. Didn’t spend anything near this for any of them lol
Collectors will never buy a refurbished k98 for 1200 lmao get out of here. I’d pay less than Russian capture.
Nice video guys if it has the codes S/42G S42 Byf it's a Mauser Oberndorf manufacture
Ce is Jp sauer sohn manufacture
Dot dou swp45 is Brno in czech
If they have an x marked they are Russian captured also with electric pen
Late wars are perfectly safe to fire why give their soldiers a bomb in 1945?
Standard modells are 1934/5 made before it was adopted
$1200 damn, would love to add one to my wwii collection but i think id rather have one with some wear and tear on it for display.
I’ll give you $100 for the best example of an S/147/G you have in this “lot”. Your asking prices for such things reflect heavy drug usage on your part. I guess it’s because ThEy’rE OnE Of tHem NatZi GUnS!
I just picked up a super nice RC S/147/G with a decent ammo lot for $900. Classic is a joke
Price is ridiculous for a refinished Mauser. Plus get someone who knows what they’re talking about when it comes to these rifles. You’re doing a disservice otherwise.
Beautiful Rifles
Thanks Guys for showing.
👍🤝😎
Those look beautiful! How much??
Like everything they sell...Way over priced.
WAY WAY WAY OVER PRICED...😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
They probably picked these up along with the M1 carbines for less than 200.00 a copy...
They didn’t last long! I need one!
Wow. Always wished to own one.
The price is fucking ridiculous especially for refinishes. Classic back at it again single-handedly raping the milsurp market
Amazing.. by the time you send out texts, 3 hours after video, your sold out. (NRA Surplus Good - Turn In Condition)
They are setting up an IRL PUBG match.
Those look terrible for refurbished. $150 max for me.
There prices are so ridiculous. Who is paying this amount, people who aint got nothing else to do with there money 🤦🏽
ALL SOLD
Has anyone actually bought these and can tell me what they think of it?
Wayyyy too much sorry guys 👎
god damn 1200 buxs..... shit
#NFASUCKS
Need. Need. Need. Desire
They look awesome!
They’re not. They’re shot out, dressed up pieces of shit. Ask me how I know. Fuck these thieves.
Nice!
Ship my muthafukin rifle !!! Why yall making videos ? I see two ppl not packaging orders ! Yall need help ? Cause man this shit is slow..
Just playing yall
They're worth it because of the original markings still being intact. If I had the cash, but to me it's more a collectible. Awesome piece of history
You can get an RC with original markings for under $700
If they were all matching vet bring backs they’d be worth it.
The prices seem a little high, but 5 years from now, you won't be able to touch them for this price. For everybody saying you can buy an all matching BYF for $700, I haven't seen that price for several years, now they are $1k and up
@@j.cremer9547
Link please?
@Isaac Woolley How’s the bore look on it?
Classic is garbage. Disrespectful to the collector world
Nice!
