Now that is a restoration, no aftermarket stuff, no sporterizing. Just restoring a beauty to her former glory, the perfect redemption for sporterizing the previous one.

I finished this video with a smile on my face.

Outstanding work! One small detail overlocked... buttplates were not blued

*_This was excellent. You really went all out. Love the result._*

I admire your patience and hard work. Great Job!!

Nice work man!!!

I was very happy to see proper hollow ground screwdrivers used throughout the build. It may seem small to others, but to me that is an essential bit that "gunsmiths" get but most "restorers" do not. I was happy to see you had the right tools for the right job. (& yes you did a better job on this than I ever could have) #Cheers

Loved that original stock better than sporting stock

Great job ! I am glad you kept the original type finish.

Really enjoyed the video. I could very much relate to it. About 10 years ago, I picked up a pretty ugly Mauser K98k made in Brno, Czechoslovakia for $200. I am a Slovak American, so I was excited to find a K98k made in my family's country of origin even if the gun wasn't the best looking. The price was certainly decent. Also, Brno Mausers are reputed to be excellent. However, I quickly discovered that the stock had been covered in thick, uneven polyurethane. Not only that, but all the metal parts had been painted black and the paint was starting to chip off. What the heck, I decided to strip everything with a strong paint stripper. It turns out that the ugly polyurethane and icky black paint had actually protected the firearm. The bluing was at least 70-80% intact and the stock was in pretty decent condition too. I used cold bluing like in the video to bring the metal parts back to about 95%. As far as the stock, I used boiled linseed oil. I applied the oil by rubbing it in with 400 grit sandpaper. The 400-grit sandpaper doesn't really hurt the finish, however, the little bit of very fine grit that comes off the stock helps to fill in slight imperfections in the stock as the linseed oil dries. The stock is laminated, so the grit helped fill in the fine cracks between the various layers of lamination. I do have to say though that I went overboard on the number of linseed oil coats. Yes, I did nine (I have never been accused of moderation). So, finishing the stock took a while because you have to wait a few days between coats. But it does have a very nice smooth finish, even if a bit unmilitary. In the end I am very proud of quite a nice-looking firearm. It also has a great bore and is very accurate. I just wanted to end by talking a little bit about the gun itself. Clearly, the receiver and barrel were used in the war. Under the barrel there is a German army stamp. The stock also has a German army marking. However, the top of the receiver has been scrubbed and has the Czechoslovak rampant lion stamps on them, as does the barrel. No doubt this was done post war. The trigger guard and magazine base plate are all stamped metal and have the very large "winter" trigger guard. After the war, the Brno factory had lots of parts and access to war time Mausers, so they mixed and matched to reassemble firearms for export to get some cash flowing into the economy. Because of this none of my serial numbers match. When the factory ran out of wartime parts, they made their own, like the stamped oversized winter trigger guard. Again, thanks much for the video. Got me to remember the fun I had restoring mine.

Sollte nights restaurieren!! Ganz gut erhalte schon das Mauser k98 geweher.

Дали новую жизнь винтовочке, спасибо за приятное видео!

Wow So AWESOME 😎 watching from Philippines

Классная работа🤘

Nice work. Laminated stocks are difficult to correct if there's damage - you did it well, and the metalwork was a good as anyone else could restore given its condition. Good to see you use the takedown disc on the stock for it's original purpose. I don't think you needed to use the WD40 and tweezers though, but it makes for a more entertaining vid!

I am speechless..a beautiful job.

When steaming out deep dents I've scored the dent with a new single edged razor blade (with the grain). The steam goes into the score marks (about 1/16" apart) and does a great job of raising it out.

Absolutely A1 job well done, what the customer wanted - the customer definitely got!

Από Ελλάδα χαιρετισμούς ! . Αγαπητέ φίλε , η τέχνη , η αξία και η αγάπη του οπλουργού για την κατασκευή , επισκευή και ανακατασκευή όπλων φάνηκε στο πρόσωπό σου ! ! ! . Τα όπλα είναι συνυφασμένα με την ξύλινη ' υποστήριξή τους ' , κάτι που σήμερα ελέω ' οικολογίας , ' οικονομίας ' και ' βάρους ' το ξύλο αντικαταστάθηκε από το πλαστικό . Με συγκίνησε η όλη διαδικασία της αναπαλαώσης του ξύλινου μέρους του όπλου και ' BRAVO ' σου ! . Η εργασία σου σε σύγκριση με κάποιους άλλους οπλουργούς ήταν απλή , κατανοητή κάτι που ίσως βοηθήσει πολλούς κατόχους και συλλέκτες παλαιών όπλων . Πάντα έλεγα ότι οι Ιταλοί ήταν μπροστά στην κατασκευή κυνηγετικών και στρατιωτικών όπλων ( π.χ. η BERETTA την δεκαετία 1990 οι Αμερικανοί αστυνομικοί εξοπλίστηκαν με τα πιστόλια της που θεωρήθηκαν αξιόπιστα περνώντας με επιτυχία όλες τις δοκιμασίες , BENELLI κ.λ.π. ) και συντήρηση όπλων και αυτό σε τιμά ! ! ! . Πολλοί φίλοι μου από τοπικό σκοπευτικό σύλλογο αγοράζουν τυφέκια εποχής 18ου αιώνα πραγματικά λειτουργικά αντίγραφα από την Ιταλία , όσο για την συλλογή , τόσο και γιά την ' ηδονή ' της προετοιμασίας γιά την σκοποβολή , με αποτελέσματα πράγματι εξωπραγματικά . Υπάρχουν ακόμα εταιρείες στην Ιταλία που κάνουν αναπαραγωγή όπλων εποχής ' κρατώντας ' τα δεδομένα της τότε εποχής ' standards ' , την εμφάνιση - ' finetsa ' , το ίδιο βάρος και την λειτουργικότητά τους ! . Ένας Αμερικανός στρατηγός την εποχή του 1980 , όταν τον ρώτησαν δημοσιογράφοι από κάποιο Ελληνικό περιοδικό στρατιωτικού ενδιαφέροντος πότε ένα όπλο είναι παλαιό ( ενοώντας παλαιό για την εποχή μας ) τους απάντησε οτι ένα όπλο είναι παλαιό από την ώρα που δεν είναι λειτουργικό ! ! ! . Να είσαι πάντα καλά και να μας καταπλήκτεις με νέα σου video ! .

Ficou muito bom!

I took real pleasure to watch this restau. One of the best I never saw before ! Exceptional job, congratulations and thank you !

Красота,вот это качество продукции, даже через столько лет.

ماشاءالله ابداع يا صديقي

Good work, the way I would want it!!

BEAUTIFUL job! Thanks for this video, and thanks for preserving history.

Tengo un M98 y me quedé maravillado con tu excelente trabajo. Mi like.

PERFECT!

Now that's a K98! Finally! It has the post sight ring, makes me smile.

Looked better the way it was. A little WD and 0000 steel wool, clean the wood and bore.....value preserved.

Tengo el mod. 1907 fabricado para mi país... idénticos en muchos aspectos... Pensar que ambos y docenas de modelos de la misma base salieron de la misma waffen fabrik... Es tan grato ver que una de estas maravillas tan nobles vuelve a la Vida ... Millón de gracias, de todo corazón. Un saludo emocionado desde🇦🇷

Gracias por compartir el proceso de restauración y dejarlo original. Saludos cordiales desde BsAs Argentina 🇦🇷

Impressive restoration, well done! 😉👍

Well done. You are a master! I have a 1939 that lucky doesn't need restoration

The best restoration job ever!

My day becomes perfect because of this satisfying video. Nice work dude!!!

Muy buena restauración ! A algunos nos gustaría tener un k98

Kudos! Great job! You're an artist!

Davvero complimenti, sei un mago del restauro! 💪🏼

Идеально. Поздравляю вас с приобритением уникальной винтовки!

Loved the sympathetic restoration of the stock. Good as new.

Seus vídeos são muito satisfatório. Obrigado

Beautiful restoration! As far as those idiots who whine about the "history and patina" its called maintaining and preserving the rifle. This rifle got this bad because no one maintained it. You are doing the work that the previous owners did not do and that the current owner wants done.

Aaah, un rifle maravilloso!

Nice👍👍👍

*The K98 is one of the best and most reliable among carbines. You did a brilliant job once again, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I look forward to your next video as the best blockbuster and want to watch it again and again.*

Mauser 98k is the best carbine of that time, it definitely needs to be restored. 👍

Great restoration ..... ❤ Unbelievable !!!!

Very well done! I was pleased to see some of the same techniques used by my idol, Mark Novak.

WOW! That rifle looked good originally but now it's simply beautiful; what a GREAT restoration. Well done Brother, well done.

That is a fantastic piece of work, mid war k98 returned to service expertly, very well done 👍

Przepiękna jest ta zrobiona robota pozdrawiam serdecznie 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
