If you have never been hearted, then you have never commented. Ha! I do my best to reply to every single comment. Appreciate you watching!
WHO_TEE_WHO lol I rarely comment. I just love watching your videos I don't think much to comment 😆
@@silethmorrow6275 Merry Christmas. Looks like you got hearted twice by W.T.W. I'll throw a few your way as well.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love the 8mm .
I like 8mm
That's M48 in 7.92mm, I was shooting that rifle when I was serving in the Yugoslavian Army in 1986. Hard hitting rifle, a lot of power. WTW, if you send me a picture of that foreign text on the receiver maybe I can translate it for you!
You were using a bolt action in 1986? That's behind the times in modern military rifles.
Awesome! That would be cool! I used to drive a Yugo! I could park that car anywhere in college! 👍👍
@@markmcintosh7095 I had that rifle during my basic training. After that I had the Yugoslavian version of the SKS, we used to call it PAP. That stands for PoluAutomarska Puska.
@@ljupcotaskovski6568 Were you still there for the civil war in the 1990s? I always love a war story, but I feel for those who went through it for real.
@@nedrain9044 i was a radio mechanic during my time in the army, my specialty was communications equipment in the tanks, between the crew themselves and with other tanks. After I served 1 year, wich was the mandatory time, I was discharged and assigned to the reserve MP battalion in the city where I was living. When the first uprising in Kosovo started in 1989, my battalion was activated and deployed to the capital city of Kosovo, Pristina. We stayed there for 2 months. I didn't see any action, I was stationed with the other mechanics, but you could hear everything that was happening outside the walls, shooting, explosions... A lot of my friends got shot at by the separatist and they fired back, some of them were wounded, but we didn't have any casualties.
Mausers are the standard that all other bolt actions are measured. Congrats. You chose wisely.
Mauser>commiemosin
@@rickterrance4981 Kinda... that was true of the K98, German Mauser. Our 1903 Springfield was patterned from it, but everyone made a Mauser, Turks, Sweden, Spanish and the Yugos, so yes, but to be specific, The K98 was the standard in Mausers.
Not quite but close my Enfield SMLE is its own standard
I Love The Mauser! They don't kick bad at all. I have a German issue Mauser from world war 2. My grandpa brought it back from the war. It's absolutely beautiful, he restored it.
I have a 1915 M-98 8mm Mauser, made in Danzig. It was imported and sporterized by Interarms in the 70's with a Monte Carlo style stock, lowered safety, bent and spooned bolt handle. I bought it in 1980, and was going to mount a scope, but it was so accurate and handy with iron sights that I wasn't going to "fix" what wasn't broken. I use it for White Tail, and hunt mainly in the woods, so the original sites are well suited to the task.
Mine kicks hard
I had a k98, biggest regret, even more then getting married, was selling my k98
That's how I felt after my 1st marriage, I found a cherry red SG Gibson in a 2nd hand shop, put some strings on it and it sounded great, I didn't know squat about Gibsons so after the divorce, I was short of cash and sold it. Found out later what it was worth, and I was more disappointed at losing that than the wife 🙄
They're still available. Get another! Mauser, not wife I mean.
Hahaha
I have 2 original all matching numbers with their Nazi logos fully functioning German k98k I inherited from my grandfather.
He was a Luftwaffe pilot and once the fuel ran out and the war was pretty much over, they took those weapons and went home.
You definitely married the wrong woman if you regret marriage
First hunting rifle I bought was a beautifully sporterized k98. Bubba did a fine job on this one. It's a shame someone sporterized a jp sauer and son k98 from 1941 but it's a great shooter. 8mm quickly became one of my favorite cartridges to hunt with. It's got some serious power to it.
So cool shooting my M48 thanks Randy
🙏🙏🙏
It's a really good example, thanks Randy!
Have to love yugo mausers. Can still get them about 500 in canada. A Russian capture 98 goes for at least 1200
Where’s the best place to buy 8mm Mauser ammo? I haven’t shot mine in a very long time
@@testofeagle right now just luck finding any. But keep looking. I've had this rifle since late 90's and always got abox every time I saw found it. You can try online but prices are just wrong. Randy
Nice rifle! I actually have one from 1939. Still shoots well and is fun. I agree, the recoil is very reasonable.
same! got it from grandpa does yours have the yellowish stock?
they are rarest! glad to find someone else with one
They nearly always shoot good, even if you had rust in the bore they shoot well. As long as your bore has still rifling in it and has no rust "holes" it shoots really good
Have to run that bolt like it owes you money. The yugos are a little shorter action than the k98 and a little rougher but sure are fantastic
8mm 06
I have a yugo. They are no joke. Yes they do rock your shoulder. They shoot super straight though
1903 turk is as well.
Had a nice 98K for awhile. Loved that thing. And the recoil isn't horrible. It'll thump you but it's not too bad. Nothing like shooting a piece of firearm history!
That looks like a Yugo M48 Mauser. I have several Mauser rifles. Recoil has never been an issue. Good shooting!
@chris mclaughlin I couldn't agree more. I have both calibers.
I love those old weapons of war, they make great starter rifles or iron sighted deer rifles, most of those WW2 rifles are plenty accurate at the ranges we have in Kentucky and Tennessee.
Weapons of way? They can be turned into great sporters, and are excellent material to learn gunsmithing on.
@@arrlmember I typed war not way, but yes I like the design of those old war rifles, as you said they make great sporting rifles, and they're good for gunsmithing lessons as some are in pretty rough shape when released from the armories, don't get me wrong I like the design of newer rifles too, anytime you have a rifle specifically designed and mass produced for use on the battlefield you can bet that it'll be a dependable rifle and will serve you well for many years to come, unless it's already worn out when you buy it or you're the type that heads to the range two or three times a month to fire off tens of thousands of rounds every year. The AR-15 and the AK-47 are excellent examples of modern battle rifles, one or the other and often both have been present on nearly every battlefield since WW2 ended, and their service longevity is well documented, many modern barrels will withstand upwards of 20 to 30,000 rounds before loosing to much accuracy to reliably use, both were designed shortly after WW2 ended replacing the older bolt and semiautomatic actions commonly found on the battlefields of WW1 and WW2 although by WW2 many armies were using semiautomatic rifles like the US M1 Garand or the Russian and Chinese SKS.
@@notchagrandpa8875 when I got my vz24 it was absolutely slathered in cosmaline, looked rough, but once I tore it apart and spent hours getting the cosmaline off of the entire gun it looked almost new. Cosmaline did a great job preserving rifles but my god does it suck cleaning it off especially when its hardened.
@@joelmorgan1871 Yeah cosmoline is always a fun chore, but it's a labor of love, I usually just soak the parts in mineral spirits, then rinse in boiling hot water to help soften any cosmoline that's caked on, then put everything back into the mineral spirits for a second time while I go boil more water, then the parts get put back into clean boiling hot water for the second and final rinse and usually by that point there's no cosmoline left on any metal parts so I use my air compressor to blow dry the parts as they come out of the water, the parts are hot and that also helps dry any water that's left behind but I never take that chance so I always soak everything in WD-40 or Water Displacement 40 which is what the WD stands for, after a few minutes I'll blow the parts off for a second time, then it's time to clean off the WD-40 and use a proper oil before starting on the wood furniture which is done using a heat gun and a couple of old rags before finally reassembling the weapon, I've heard of people using murphy's oil soap to wash the wood stock after using the heat gun just to get as much of the oil off as possible but I haven't personally tried that method so I can't say how well it works.
@@notchagrandpa8875 I used mineral spirits and boiling water as well but instead of wd 40 I used clp. My buddies in the marines swear by that stuff and the armed forces use it as well. In the end I was pretty impressed at how nice the rifle turned out
This makes me miss my break or 8mm german mauser that I had as a kid. I loved that rifle and was devastated when I came home from vacation when I was 18 to find that someone thought they needed all my stuff more than I did
My father had an Argentine Mauser in 8x57. He hunted with it for many years. They do pack a punch. I have a Spanish Mauser in 7x57.
I usually hunt deer with a 8mm Mauser, always does the job, great to see you finally shoot one . Great video !
Dang you beat me to it, i bought one march and still havent shot it now i need to for sure it would be nice to see the clay block test with it and maby milk jug.
I'd actually like to see a paper plate test 7mm vs 8mm mauser. I've seen various tests of 8mm vs everything else, I'd like to see how the 2 mauser rounds stack up against one another
That Mauser is a work of art !!
Those are beautiful rifles, my dads uncle brought one back from ww2, one of my favorites
I have three mausers all that I bought just because they were a great price. Once I started shooting them I realized why they have such a following. Great rifle and just feels so well in the hands. These old girls feel like you could throw them off a bridge and it wouldn’t hurt a thing. Definitely a rifle made for battle no doubt about it
That’s a real lovely K98 K you can tell because there’s no hood over the front sight. The Yugoslavian M48 has a hood over the front sight. The ammunition you used without seeing the box is hard to determine because a lot of countries used steel cases. The bullet weight could have been 154-155,187,196,198,200. The original name the Germans used for the heavy ball was 7,92, here in the states we call it 8MM Mauser, (SAAMI) lower pressure, over in Europe its called the 8x57JS and load to the original pressure (CIP)
My brother has a 8mm Mauser with an eagle on if from back in the day. Set up with a scope. He uses it for deer hunting still to this day. Awesome gun and great video!
Nice one, WHO_TEE_WHO! I love me some 8mm Mauser. Got one back in the early 2000's before the prices started to climb.
Our family has one from our grandfather, made in Danzig, GER, 1917. Sweet shooter. Love 8mm mauser.
Mauser one of the best actions ever made. Great video👍
That Mauser action has been around for a long time now best action on the market. Built to last now see y’all soon brother GOD BLESS y’all Amen 🙏.
cool to try out the 8mm
@@WHOTEEWHO I got a vz24 czech mauser in 8mm absolutely love that rifle. Made in 1939 and shoots great
Very accurate rifles chambered in 8mm good to 800 yds with irons
Glad to see you shooting an 8mm Mauser, one of the best deer calibers around. You need to put 8mm bullets through paper plates, clay blocks and water jugs. Both FMJs and hunting bullets.
I can bring more ammunition, I've seen comments wanting more tests with range . I'm in let me know. Randy
Thank you Randy!
Thanks randy
Cool deal Randy.
Have some more info on the gun like age if it was war time and if it was German or some other country made it or got it from Germany
@@jimmieburleigh9549 Yogu M48 , no WW11 use . I understand that some M48,m48A and m48B rifles were used in the Yugoslavian Civil War of the 90's. But not this example
Sorry was built by the Yugoslavians
I have two of those WHO_TEE_WHO, a german and a Yugo. I love 8mm Mauser, it's big and powerful. That stuff will shoot through a telephone pole. That ammo is most likely steel core, that is why it sparks like the 380 round Romanian ammo cans. Those rifles are very well made and go for around $500-$650 normally totally worth it if you can get ammo. A solid choice and a must have for every collector. Ballisticly there are a little more ft pounds of energy that 30 06 if loaded with original 198 grain ammo. I would love to see 8mm vs 7.62x54R vs 30 06 and through in 270 win in a penetration test if you ever get time.
Who Tee Who, my son took his first deer with a 8mm mouser good round. When he was 16 years old.
💪 👍
It's in the same class as the 30/06 I make my brass for my 8mm from the 30/06 . 8mm is bigger than 7.62x54
The .30-06, the .308 and the 7.62x54R all use a .308" diameter projectile. The 8mm is .312". The rimless cases have a .473 case head, whereas the 7.62x54Rimmed has a .567" rim.
I have never tried necking up brass, but I do neck down '06 brass to 6.5x06 Ackley Improved which has about the same ballistics as the .264 Winchester Magnum but does not require the expensive belted cases.
@@arrlmember 7.62x54r is .310/.311. Not 308.
❤️❤️
@@arrlmember
And 8mm is bigger than .311
303 brit and 7.62x54r can share bullets for reloading.
@@arrlmember Thank you for reminding us of the 6.5mm-06 A-Square / Ackley Improved. Those were are are a decent cartridge. Either the Ackley or A-Square version 6.5mm-06 make most of the other 6.5mm rounds seem puny and anemic. Slight dimensional correction: 7,62X54r might actually be .308" , .310" or .311 bullets depending on which factory made them, when, and in what country. 7.92x57 J 'EARLY ROUND NOSE' were .318" bullets... 7.92x57 JS is .323" sharp pointed spitzer bullets. AMERICANS started calling the 7.92 mm to be "8 mm" . This was NOT the original name. WILDCAT NOTES: 30-06 brass PROPERLY annealed and "warmed up" for easier forming CAN become 6.5mm-06 or 8x57 brass. AS YOU KNOW : THIS SORT OF THING REQUIRES AN EXTREMELY STURDY PRESS, decent lube or sizing wax {a bit of heat to soften the neck and shoulder of brass}... and trimming to proper length.... .308 t0 .323 internal diameter necks... is NOT too much stretching. PUSHING THE SHOULDER BACK without crushing, folding, or wrinkling the brass is more of a concern. YES, I have done it. Just like with re-forming 30-06 to 6.5mm-06 ^^Plan to ruin some brass and have some form up neatly, to be useful^^. 8mm-06 RECHAMBER conversion...makes forming wildcat brass much easier...and, allows a slight powder capacity increase.. NO FACTORY MADE 8MM-06 ammo will probably ever exist. That is a ONE WAY conversion... Once a barrel is RE-chambered for 8mm-06 ... it might not be possible to reverse the process. M48 YUGO MAUSER action is SLIGHTLY SHORTER than most 98 Mauser and variants... M48 YUGO magazine box ^might be TOO SHORT for 8mm-06 or 30-06 FULL LENGTH CARTRIDGES. C.O.A.L of 3.240" vs 3.343" can make a slight difference. The 9.3x62mm will usually work on '98 and sometimes it is possible to ream out a neglected old 7.92x57 '8mm' barrel to accept the more powerful 9x57 , 9.3x57 , 9.3x62 or 35 Whelen. Nearly every decade brings more new choices. FOR LITTLE DEER... nearly any centerfire will work... FOR BIGGER ANIMALS... bigger bullets ^might^ be a better choice.*
I shot a Mosin for my bachelor party and that sucker kicked HARD! It felt like my shoulder was blown out and it certainly was very sore the next day as I faced my bride on the stage. I think I'll learn from my experience and watching you do all the shooting with the 8mm. Merry Christmas, Who_Tee_Who!
I miss my 8mm. Mine was from 1943. There should be a stamp on it saying the year and who made it.
Great hunting weapon!
Fun cartridge. I "grew up" shooting 8mm Mauser and 7.62x54R back when a bandoleer of 8mm Mauser ammo was $9.99
Hey Whotee the 8mm is sweet that one has been upgraded from original the cartridge is 7.92×57 very close to a mosin and 30.06 they will shoot pretty flat and fast, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
I have an old Mauser from about 1918, sweet shooter and hard hitting
My dad bought one of these rifles to make a deer rifle for my son . It had already been started down the road to sporterization and had a perfect bore. The man he hired to finish it did an exceptional job and brought the rifle now sporting high end Montecarlo wood and Buckhorn sights to us with bad news. He said the accuracy was Medicore but within deer hunting standards but the thing kicked horribly. The heads pacing was off and he said this was one of three he had seen with headspacing issues. By taking weight off the rifle the recoil multiplied. My dad, a man who's go to rifle was a custom Remington mountain rifle in .300 win mag ran about 10 rounds through it and put it on the sales floor as he said no member of my family will own that kicking piece of garbage lol. Amazingly it sold fast and the buyer was completely filled in on the issues but loved the gun even though it rattled his teeth every time he pulled the trigger.. The only sporterized military rifle my dad would deal with after that was the British. 303 and he loved those things.
How you doing, having a cold one.
Great round to reload for. Hits hard for sure.
Most rounds are great when they are reloaded. Not so much with factory ammo.
I bought 2 of those guns waaaay back. $75 a piece, with bayonets, still factory wrapped. Best I can remember about 13lbs.heavyass guns but man they were accurate
I have one and a mosin. Never shot the mauser yet, going to soon
I have a m48 yugo Mauser and I absolutely love it.
A 48 Yugo is the same length as a 24/47 Yugo, which is a little shorter than a full length M98. Aftermarket stocks that will fit both the 48 and the 24/47 are a little short for the 98. If you are going to rebarrel it, the .308 is a great choice. If you want it in .30-06, then you need to get a full length 98.
Thanks Hootie and Paul for taking me to the range got a 💡 moment (danger! ). What about a video on the different grains bullets of the same caliber on some clay or wood or water jugs if you haven’t already thanks again , hope your phone or whatever don’t ding and wake you at130 in the morning
I had a 1938 Turk Mauser for years and I sold it to a friend of mine 8 years ago and wished I hadn't.
ive got two turk mausers. the 1903 teardrop bolt, and the m38 round bolt. they are basically g98s.
@@frigglebiscuit7484 my understanding is that my old Mauser was used by the Germans in the WWII
Hope to see more of this rifle and round on your channel. I've always wanted one of those might have to pick one up now that this video has perked my interest again.
thanks for watching David
Great shooting WTW! Not a bad looking weapon there. Thanks for sharing! 🤘🏽🍻
thanks for watching Michael!
Nice to see you shooting another classic steel and wood rifle
thanks for watching Bee Cee
I have a 8mm Turkish and the thing is definitely a hoot to shoot, surprisingly accurate.
I got a k98 for $50 back in the year of 2000 it was like new but you know how it goes, had to sporterized it put a new custom-made mannlicher stock on it . I kept the steps in the barrel.& the stock was shaped to the barrel. took the sights off welded the holes shut, new leupold mounts & rings, leupold 100th anniversary scope.everything was stripped & reblued, jeweled the bolt, timney trigger & safety, shoot 200 grain nosler accubond , 3/4" groups.
I have a 1939 8mm German Mauser, it's an awesome gun. Taken down many deer with it
another person with a 1939 hell ya! same here
My 8mm Mauser was made in 1899, and it looks like it was made last week, and it’s original. It was given as a gift to a former US Ambassador to Germany, who in turn, gave it to me. He also gave me a matching 7mm Mauser he had received upon leaving Germany.
Most 8mm ammo is loaded to low pressure levels in deference to old J bore rifles. It can be souped up quite a bit with careful hand loading, making it equivalent to the 30-06. You can also buy European 8mm ammo which is loaded to modern standards, but it's gonna be expensive.
Are they always in lower pressure in the US? Because in Germany the factory loads are always equivalent to 30-06. And do you know why they are weaker in the US?
@@kuessebrama Yes, always lower pressure in the US. The reason is twofold...the legal profession and economic. If you sell a high-pressure 8x57 round in the US, some idiot is bound to stick it in an old J-bore rifle and blow it up, then immediately hire a lawyer, and lawsuits get expensive after a while, even if you win. Secondly, there is no real demand for high-pressure 8x57 ammo here. It's just not in common enough usage to justify the expense of tooling up for a production run. The folks that want high-pressure 8x57 hunting ammo load it themselves.
I've had the honor of owning my 1917DANZIG MAUSER GEW in 8mm for over 45 yrs. It has never ever failed me in any situation!! Original stock and 98 % original blueing. It is very accurate I WILL NEVER SELL IT... EVER!!
Frank the tank YES!!! finally 8mm, yes Bobby this is better than propane, if theres such a thing...., whoteewho is on point this month!!!
I borrowed one of those to dear hunt about 30 years ago. I just remember how heavy it was.
You don't know what you have there, but that weapon and caliber are Iconic. Ruger uses the same action. Proven over time.
I recently got a sporterized mauser, I think it just a reproduction made in the 50s but it's still pretty cool imo
Great machine .pretty cool
Its in great shape for 70 plus years old !!!
Great Military Rifle. Many sporter rifles use that action, some people swear by controlled feed. In my humble opinion from Canada, it’s a great rifle among other greats
I've got my dad's ol' k98. In 1992 our house was broken into and our guns stolen. Dad found the k98 cheap and bought it so he would have something to deer hunt with. I remember him hunting with it for about 2yrs there and taking a couple deer. I was probably 12 or 13 and he and i was hunting a farm in Wilson county TN one morning when he shot at a nice 8 pointer with it. The deer turned and ran and he got off a 2nd shot and the deer went end over end. Us and a friend field dressed the deer and never did find where he hit it. We checked it in at a little store where a couple game wardens was set up where they got the weight and tried to age the deer by it's teeth. Those guys didn't find where it was hit either. To this day it puzzles me because i know the 8mm usually knocks a good hole with soft points like that. On the 2nd shot the deer was running strait away but the way dad was he'd shoot at one end same as the other. lol Some say he hit the deer strait up the ol' bum bum hole but even at that there should be some internal damage. I guess the world may never know but anyhow that's my story.
Love the old wood guns
Always wanted an original k98 8mm! One to add to the list I reken. Good vid as always mate!
You loading rounds in that nice ass rifle was relaxing. Love the sound of bullets clanking together. 👍 again.
Thanks for watching Aaron
The surplus ammo is not easily reloaded without special tools (euro primers two flash holes and some of it is steel core copper jackets for armor. The case american cases can be used to make 30-06 rounds necked, trimmed, formed etc. Good stuff. They are usually loaded from 5 round stripper clips. Mine is one of the Yugo mausers. Matching numbers on everything. Proofed at the factory, shipped, and came to me still packed in the cosmoline where ithad been storedin an armory, never issued, the stock was still white, no staining from body oils from handling. good stuff.
That is one sweet rifle. I should have picked one up back in the day when Big 5 had them.
I love my 8mm mauser. Great looking rifle
Sweet, my dad had one but was lost in the 2011 tornado that took it and my dad and mom, along with other family and friends. We use to shoot it a lot. Dad got it when he was 12 back in the early sixties. He even had the 22 barrel that went in it for training.
Awesome!! Love the old guns!
Love seeing the old guns! The Mauser is the OG bolt action.
I love em all! thanks for watching John
The God Father of all bolt action rifles! Good job WTW!
That’s a M48 Yugoslavian Mauser. That’s a great rifle and the 8mm is a great round. With a ballistic tipped bullet the 8mm is great for deer. Got to love those bolt action rifles: Mausers, Enfields, Mosin Nagants, 1903 Springfield
hey Terry! I love em all!
I had a k98 8mm mauser & I loved it. I also had 1 in 7mm. 2 of the best guns I ever owned. I now own a F B RADOM VIS Mod 35P
That is similar to my German 8mm Mauser that my Dad brought back from WW2. Laminated wood stock, covered in swastikas. Shoots great and does kick.
I had one similar covered in swastikas from 1939 if I remember. I was bought as a hunting rifle by my German great uncle when he was a boy. They were sold in the United States before the boycott. It remained his deer rifle, passing to his son, then to my father, then to me.
Unlike the fence the timber stock on that Mauser is beautiful
This guy is hilarious! I always enjoy his videos.
My dad has an 8mm mouser. It's a smooth shooting gun and very accurate
Next time you're shooting gel blocks it would be interesting to see what it does. Thanks great channel.
I bought a case of Turk 8mm back in 1995 , when it was dirt cheap , its on 5 round stripper clips , but I later found out it was machine gun ammo and the primers were to hard for a normal k98 firing pin spring , I got a heavier spring from brownells , It's hot ammo but reasonably accurate,.
Been on the hunt for one of these that’s ones in great shape.
Kiloton tactical has a beautiful one. I wish I could get it. 🙁

@@thebitefight2601 I'm with you, Merry Christmas. Hey Sudan got 700 million though . WTF
Looks like a Yugo 48. Nice one. I got a Turk 38 and a German K98k . Full powered ammo can be a kicker.
Love mausers. I have an 1891 Argentine in 7,65x53
8mm is kind of like a slower heavier 30-06, it is especially good for bear in my opinion, I love my M24/47 and happy to see you have access to an M48 for testing out that cartridge. Those Yugo guns run nicely if you maintain them well.
*Actually, The Spitzer version of the 7.92x57 originated about 1898 and the widely adopted version of 30-06 came about 1906... So, historically the 8mm or 7.92 came first.... Hence, "The 30-06 is usually a faster and lighter bullet version of the 8mm or 7.92x57 JS. Side Note: The NOT WIDELY ADOPTED 30-03 from 1903 used a 220 grain round nose bullet at 2200 to 2300 f.p.s. ...VERY SIMILAR TO THE 'early round nose version' of the 7.92x57 J. The 1888 Commission rifle was okay... and WHEN the Germans decided to go with spitzer bullets in the 1898 version rifle... they also used 'same bore size' AND CUT THE RIFLING GROOVES DEEPER in the JS version... They also cut the chamber and leade for sharp pointy spitzer bullets... with a belief that the deeper grooves version of rifling would enhance accuracy and extend accurate barrel life... IT WORKED. 1989 production rifles are still in use, today.*
They have the best bolt action in the world.
The M98 was such an engineering masterpiece that the U.S.had to pay royalties after they used the 98 as the basis for the '03 Springfield.
I have a 1942 turkish mauser. Love the gun. Fun to shoot and accurate.
8mm mauser was my first rifle and still my favorite.
I bought one in the late 90's from big 5. It was $80. Stamped Turkish army 1932. Fired flawlessly
WHOTEEWHOOOOO
Thanks brother! Enjoyed the Video! Nick in Seattle 8.10.2022
I had one of those, ammo is hard to find where I'm at. Mine still had the cleaning kit under the steel butt plate.
Before the ammo scare, I started buying it.. now I have 500 rounds.. they come in box of 20 rds..
I have plenty for all the ones I currently have. However, that 7.96 mm ammo has always been hard to find here, I had to special order all of it but 2, 10 round boxes, found at the local indoor range.
I know that the German army , from documentary books I kind of like to read, they had 7.63 mm and 8 mm cartridges, that’s how they start the war, right now I have 30-06 , it’s similar to that 8mm mouser that you’re talking about, thank you.
They also have a 9mm cartridge pistol during the war.
Unfortunately hitter become psychopath, and everything else is available for everyone else to read and communicate.
Mosin and 8mm through the crony. Thanks WTW!!
Good idea
That could be a BRNO-Persian Mauser (the Czech maker moved tooling to Iran during WWII). If that's the case, the script on the receiver is in Farsi (Persian). They were made in the 1940s and 50s.
Beautiful rifle they are awesome the original bolt action to all the others
Some of those old guns just shoot so good! Definitely like to see what it would do to some stuff
It's actually a 7.92x57mm chambering, commonly known as 8mm Mauser. Yours is a Yugoslavian M48, varying slightly from the German 98k in that it is an intermediate length action. That particular rifle, the M48, was the first in the line of Yugo manufactured M98 derivatives, subsequent models had less expensive stamped parts. You have a great all purpose rifle. Congrats
Yugo manufactured maausers before M48 and before ww2 start.That is M24 rifle.Almost similar like this M48 with small deferences.
Got one...... German, numbers matching from 1942..... smooth as silk
That's a yugo m-48. You don't have one from 1942.
In 2004 I was fortunate enough to acquire a Mitchell ‘s Mauser M 48 in collector grade supposedly manufactured in 1943 after the allied liberation of Yugoslavia . Mitchell ‘ s claimed that they were mod 98 while force manufactured during nazi occupation but after liberation they changed it to m 48 .No doubt that they were precision made because they were then making them to shoot at the Germans if they returned . It is almost creepy to hold a brand new rifle with bayonet, leather gear and such and be so old , the action is as smooth as greased bearings and accurate as well. BTW my father always believed that he was wounded by a Mauser in Fraulatern Germany dec 9 1944 . Thanks for sharing that great rifle
Get the mosin, the enfield, the mauser, and any other milsurps you got and do some sude by side testing
Memories...awesome.
