    Was my dad's rifle, then passed down to me. Got my first deer with it at age 17 in a heavy snow with those open sights. A true 98 and a great shooter; accurate and all parts matched serial number wise. But I moved a lot out of state in my 20s and early 30s due to school, jobs, marriage, etc. So I stored it at my parents. Little did I know he sold it years later and it was exactly like the one shown here. I love my dad. He did so much for me but I wish he had never sold it. I really miss that rifle.

    My Great Grandfather was in the 21st Schutzstaffel (SS) Panzer Division during WWII and he fought the Russians on the Eastern Front during the war. He brought the three rifles he had used during the war, the K98K, Gewehr 43 and the Stermgewehr 44. They are all such beautiful rifles the K98K was the first rifle I was taught how to shoot when I was 5. My Great Grandfather taught me every part of the rifle, how to clean the rifle and eventually how to shoot the rifle.

    Hickok I'm a big fan and have been for a long time. About a year ago I adjured a K98 from a dealer in Maryland. He had it listed on Gunbroker with lots of pictures and a very extensive commentary about this gun. It's a bwf 44 with all matching numbers in excellent condition.
    The only problem was that it had a "Duffle Cut" on the stock just below the dissasembly device. This dealer was also a master wood worker and took a stock from another 98 reject and matched it perfectly with the cut on the original rifle. I know it diminishes the value but with it's other attributes I couldn't turn it down. I have it hanging in my bedroom and I give it a pat every night when I go to bed. Beautiful weapon!

    That is such a beautiful gun. If I ever got a Mauser K98, I'd want one with the hooded front sight post like that one. Definitely made somewhere between 1942-1944. As long as it was clean, accurate with a good bore, I would look past non-matching serials. I can just never seem to come across one in my neck of the woods. I'm not a mauser aficionado so I'm a little nervous about what to look for.

      I know that one MP40 with matching numbers got sold at an auction in america for $15.000, here in europe there mostly sold for around €3.000. An original STG 44 can easily cost over €6.000 and a Kar98 K +/- €900 (I own one myself) so it's definitely worth considering a weapon license.

It fires flawlessly and kicks like a mule, as of yesterday. There's something very impressive about a gun that old doing what it's supposed to do.

  • @joshuahedrick
    @joshuahedrick 3 года назад +1

    When I was 18 years old I bought a Yugo M48 Mauser from Mitchell's. I recall I paid about $249 and it was matching serial numbers but of course it was not German and not WWII vintage but for what I paid for it, was a steal. Always shot 198 grain Sellier & Bellot ammo in it, which is much hotter then the Federal ammo Hickock45 is using in this video. Most 8x57 ammo made by American companies is a 170 grain bullet at 2,400 fps. This is done to make the pressures safe in case some one loads this into an old .318 bore Mauser. The rifle featured in this video is what is called 8x57JS, it's .323 bore and is capable of propelling a 198 grain bullet at 2,650 fps, approximating the .35 Whelen in performance.
