Yesss thats true 😭

Hurt to watch

After he brought it back to life. His right to assassinate it again. 😄 Plenty of stock ones rotting away out there because people are too afraid to touch them. Might as well have fun with it.

😂 I love it.

In italy they are pretty cheap

Well, it is not even a K98.

Thank you bro ❣️

It is really cool seeing guns get fixed up. Even if the thread is usually jank.

Sei troppo gentile ti ringrazio per il tuo commento

Something is only worth the amount of value someone places on it. It’s his rifle. Maybe he likes it better this way. He made it like he wanted it to be. At least it’s being used. Before it was just sitting somewhere, gradually turning to a pile of rust. The rifle has an excellent bore and needs to be shot. Which do you prefer? Sporterized but being used or rusting away somewhere? We’d all prefer it to be restored to military condition but that wasn’t happening, was it?

He didn’t restore it he butchered it and turned a piece of history into just another rifle

American rifleman can list the price as whatever they want (they often lowball). Reality is a Kar98, especially if it’s wartime production, normally runs 2000 dollars. There’s also the other fact that you’re missing here: sporterized rifles are always bastardizations.

That's not seen nowadays... My dad taught me shooting

it was originally a much older Gewher 98, which was a ww1 era rifle and had a straigh bolt handle. instead of just restoring it, he butchered it

@@justink-kh3ps It's not a Gewher 98 either or k98, it's a Mauser Standardmodell ('Mauser Model 1924'). But yeah it got bubba'd.

😀

Looks the same to me, same bolt that he cut and dropped and same cutout for it.

how and where did you get the number 60 million?

No class......

@thinredline2795 wdym? It has surface rust and pitting the way I bought it. If it continues will ruin the firearm

Gun go bang now

pure recklessness

Scammer alert

Don't listen to him. It's not.

The restoration is BUT NOT THE MODDING

You call that a restoration? Well I call it butchering a beautiful Maude k98 k and turning it into a just another hunting rifle

That’s what I said to myself

This gun was extremely rotten. It could never be restored in a collection-worthy way. Also, this one was not a WW2 rifle, but the common civil version. There was no historical value destroyed. Instead, he gave a trashed gun a new life as a somewhat accurate sporting rifle!

Pochissime...

@@restaurato6629 si ma fra perche l hai modernizzato

@@martinadini4142 semplice, volevo un mauser per andare a caccia. E l'ho fatto.

"military caliber" doesen't mean "a caliber used by whatever military at whatever point in time" but "caliber currently used by the Italian armed forces". In reality the rule, in the last decades, applied only to 9mm parabellum, and it had recently been discarded for that too.

@@neutronalchemist3241 I see, thanks so much bro, u just let me see a knowledge I was wondering for a long time :-)

Horrid restoration

@@sssmoon1 you do realize that the Soviet union was allied with the Nazis for a little bit

I know right, he destroyed this rifle.

You realize he fixed it and gave it back purpose, if you saw the restoration video the original qualities showed that it was ruined before he restored it

@@Gamefunni only if it’s done right if he kept it looking like a Kar98k he could have gotten a real or even made a stock yeah it’s working again but it’s still ruined

It's his gun bozo

@@AyumiTheBadass you don't say?

This isn’t, or shall I say wasn’t, a gewehr 98 either, I think it’s a czech mauser

@@stuka_bly4t102 it would have a different stock if it was a checoslovak gun, it defenetly used to be a German rifle before, checoslovak guns have stocks going behind iron sights while German guns don't have it just like his doesn't

@@stralegaming2597 well. I’m not sure about it being Czechoslovakian, but it for sure isn’t a gewehr 98, maybe a standardmodell?

@@stuka_bly4t102 Not Czech has Mauser banner over chamber, first video.

@@mannywilliams6409 yea I think I was wrong first this is probably a German standardmodell

probably has a purpose just like everything in life

Double set triggers allow you to carry a rifle with a vary light trigger pull in the field safely. A light trigger pull is good for accuracy, but it can be unsafe to carry a rifle with a light trigger pull loaded because if you drop the rifle or bump the rifle, it could go off. With double triggers, you can carry your rifle loaded, and then when you're ready to shoot, pull the first trigger whitch is usualy heavy to pull , which sets the fiering triger (the second trigger) to be supper light. Or you can simply pull the fiering triger and have a normal heavy trigger pull. Its all about accuracy improvement

He's italian, he could just buy an original stock and nobody would say anything on that. But he just ruined it

Its literally a piece of history. This guy said, "Oh shoot, a k98 I found in the forest! Time to modernize it!" What he did was take a historic piece of weaponry and modernize it. He could've atleast sold it, then get alot of money to build a rifle instead of ruining one.

He could have just bought a hunting rifle? Do you think that this was the only gun he could have possibly gotten his hands on?

@@dusty_bones8977 It's his rifle. Let him do as he pleases. There are plenty of mausers out there.

XD

he is good for an amateur, dont play with guns if you dont know what you´r doing and even less with spanish gun laws

Guess where the developers captured the sound from

@@Phed98 Nice info

One is the Standard and One for Pre-Trigger that the Main Trigger comes easier... in german its called "Stecher".

@@Beda1984 would be interesting to know the distance he shoot.

@@obxarms7685 🤣🔝

@@obxarms7685 he ruined an antique bruh

@@edwardkarpik8350 He took a rusted abandoned gun and cleaned it up to his standards and made it shoot well again. That "antique" is now usable again, those guns are still found in great quantity and some preserved in much better condition than this one. Don't hate just because it isn't your style, the gun looks good.

@@kernal9093 it’s better if it looks the the old version bruh it can still shoot when it looks like the old self

It's an old K98. Millions were made, and thousands are still in use throughout the world. This is not a rare rifle and there are lots and lots that are still box stock and available for purchase at any number of prices. This guy took a battered example and made it into a very nice hunting rifle with a double-set trigger to boot. I would guess that these rifles will still be reasonably available for purchase even one-hundred years from now.

Do not let him near any valuable historic weapons again he will make a pice of shit from it

@@mauritsroelse8196 piece*

Not passing judgment, just answering your question -- it was a war relic in original military spec that was permanently modified. To military collectors, it's sacrilege to make any permanent modification like that - it's a piece of history and they're not making any more of them. Some would go so far as to say aggressively sanding and rebluing it is wrong. If you want a modern bolt action rifle, there are plenty you can buy that will perform better out of the box and you didn't destroy a piece of history. Think of it kind of like car restoration guys that would turn their noses up at anything other than NOS/OEM parts. I think restomods are cool for cars but my stomach does turn a little when I see it done with firearms.

@@couchtomato1946 I see. Catch-22 Thank you for the info. 😎👍

Is called stecher. If you pull the second trigger before the first is more soft to pull.

Sometimes altso known as a hair trigger. The best ones out there are so sensitive that the slightest pressure is enough to release the firing pin. For top accuracy, you want minimal interference at any point in the firing process.

@@Whoriar thanks 🙏 for info ℹ️

@@restaurato6629 thanks 🙏 for explication

😂 at least now it’s useful instead of a paper weight.

@@dutch9357 Lol I think I'd rather have the paperweight. It didn't look like a polished hipster turd ball then.

What do you care, they made millions of those rifles and this ONE's not yours.

why didnt you buy it? how many million were made?

@@davidlabossiere1905 Only Adolf know it ! 😂

The original stock he had it on was a pile of shit anyway

no

dude he made a whole new gun that thing was incredibly rare

u obvs dont understand anything about how age and scarcity make things valuable and how he made a gun that any gun owner would be lucky to have its like taking a ceramic lets say there was about a 1000 made and then just re painting and glazing it look at me haha ranting on yt

@@FUSION15 I do understand how age and scarcity make things valuable, I'm interested in cars so lets take an Audi S1 quattro 1985. thing was a beast and today incredibly rare, it would be a shame if someone took a perfectly fine Audi quattro and do alot of mods to it. but if the car is in an undrivable condition and rust everywhere i would have no problem with someone giving it a new life with a different engine or something like that. I think that applies to this to, gun was in terrible condition and he gave it a new life.

It's not a bloody "restoration" if he ruined 90% of the gun. K98K's are rare to come by. Shouldve restored it, sold it to a collector and bought an actual rifle whose purpose was for hunting.
