    • @gonavy97
      @gonavy97 8 лет назад +18

      PVEntertainment part of that reason was a huge number of them were captured, and a good amount of the captured rifles were either destroyed or refurbished (the Nation of Yugoslavia sanded off the original markings like the receiver codes, any symbols like the Weimar coat of arms (the eagle) and etched Yugoslavia's crest on it and named it Zastava M 98/48) which makes a pure (by pure I mean original) Karabiner 98K more rare, thus making it more expensive since there are fewer of them compared to the Mosin-Nagant.

      +blueKolibri Well, its like asking "how much does a Ford Mustang cost?". There are so many variables, some very small that can increase the value substantially. A rusted out beater 4 pot fox Mustang would be cheap, but a '69 Boss 429 wouldn't be. It is the same for old guns. It is very hard to provide pricing on these, which is why I usually do not. When I do, people complain that they can't find examples for the price that I quoted.

    • @Riceball01
      @Riceball01 8 лет назад +2

      The price depends on what you're looking for exactly, things like condition and whether or not all of the serial numbers on the various parts match affect the price greatly. A 98k with all matching serials, intact and clean waffenampts, early to mid-war production, and in pristine condition would cost you a pretty penny. On the other hand, a Yugo or Russian arsenal rebuild with no matching serials, missing parts like sight hood, sling, and/or cleaning rod, and in beat up condition can be gotten for relatively cheap. I got one just like that years ago and it only cost me ~$100 or so, it's not super pretty like Alex C's but it's a genuine 98k.

      @Ms.Fowlbwahhh 6 лет назад +14

      Callum Turner no one were gods. In fact technologically, the Germans and the states were pretty much neck and neck until the states hit a brick wall with money. The nazis could afford to keep spending all their money on war and science for war as the civilization they pretty much built from the ground up after ww1(with all that loan money from the states and other countries) didn’t cost them nearly as much to upkeep as the states. Even all the key nazi scientists who later worked for NASA have said many times they asked American scientists for help while working for the Nazi’s back before America entered the war and even sometimes after they entered. The most famous American scientist they sought help from was Robert H. Goddard for his work with rockets.

    For those who like stories, here is an interesting one on a batch of K98k's post WW2, and more specifically, one owned by an uncle of mine. I live in South Africa, and this particular rifle had a fascinating journey. Produced in 1939 and issued to the Wermacht, this rifle survived the war and knocked about a bit for 2 years or so before being part of a batch that was sent to the then fledgling state of Israel to help arm her soldiers (Ironic that such an iconic Nazi weapon went on to help Jewish people fight for their nation). During this period the Wermacht markings were burnt out (Although the German eagle is still slightly visible) and it was re-chambered to fire a 7.62 round. After ending its 2nd service life and then some, this rifle then joined a batch that were sold abroad in the 70's, some of which found their way to South Africa (The weapons embargo on Apartheid South Africa only became mandatory in 1977). Although not as fresh looking as the example in this video (77 years of almost continuous use tends to leave a mark), the one my uncle got is still as accurate and robust as it ever was. A testament to the quality of the weapon.

      Genuine German military issue 98ks are pricey, however, you can buy Yugo or Russian arsenal guns, basically 98ks rebuilt from parts of other 98ks (no matching serials, few if any wffenampts), for a couple hundred or so, I think. You can also buy Yugo copies of the 98k for a reasonable price as well.

    I literally just dug one of these bad boys out from a batch of rifles I inherited from my grandad. It's a 1940 build with factory code 243 (Borsigwalde). Unfortunately it's had the Werhmacht markings removed and the stock has been modified for hunting. And then there's the pitted barrel... :'( Ah well I bet there's a helluva story behind it!

    • @blazinpuffs
