1945 Czech Model 98 Mauser Rifle Unboxing 

I stopped watching when i checked the price 699.99 i am out.

$699.00 Ya'll too proud of em. Love to have one but cant pay that. Heck, I bought an AK for 700 two weeks ago. Century Import this?

Great gun for about $89 dollars.......

I see you read my comment on the vz-52 video about the cracked stock so you decided to mention they may have cracked stocks. For 700 bucks I would expect a gun I buy to have furniture that is not cracked. Even a surplus one.

I like the video. I like the rifle. But not the price. Sorry, way too much .

Nobody by them for this price, please.

I saw a damn near mint one two months ago in Fredericksburg TX and it was less than these- too bad I didn’t have the cash on me, dude wouldn’t take a card. I think the price is borderline suck~

I'm not a historian or expert, so I could possibly be wrong on some things, but I've had one of these Czech guns for 10 years and here's what info I've gathered looking around the internet (but again I must stress it may be wrong, since info is pretty hard to find on these. that makes the gun interesting to me): The "winter" trigger guard is strictly postwar. These are Czech postwar export guns assembled from a mix of wartime and postwar parts. They have simplifications like no hole drilled in the wood for a cleaning rod, the bolt doesn't have a ridge on it, and the stamped mag floorplate/triggerguard assembly. Some of these went to Israel. Being postwar that's why you see Czech lion stamps, except for wartime parts which will sometimes have Waffenamts. I have one where the only wartime part is the barrel, which has a dot44 marking and a Waffenamt. These are probably very early ones, where they had a bunch of leftover wartime receivers in the factory.

These are post War 98k Mausers. Not Authentic 98k Mausers under German Occupation. Those are lions crests not Waffen AMts. Also, these looks like the batch from Samco back in the day. They sold for $300....

Bore may be pristine or sewer pipe with no guarantee of condition (it says on the website)...if I pay for hand select and already paying 700 bucks I dam well want to know the bore condition 1st and fore most...not interested in a nail biting gamble until USPS delivers it.

$699! Doesn't anyone else see the writing on the wall? All it takes is one or two guys with more money than brains to over pay for a rifle, word spreads, then the rest of us struggle to buy, in this case, second grade firearms.

I actually own a rather unique Czech Mauser, that was modified to use a 25 round MG13 magazine in place of the standard five round magazine. It looks like someone at some point chopped the standard trigger guard and floor plate off, and welded the magazine in place of the regular floor plate. Still feeds and shoots like a dream, but looks VERY unique

Historical data is important but they are not with 699.

How do people even buy these, it always seems they are out if stock immediately when the videos are posted.

7:59. Struggleing to open action lol

Am I first? Wish I could get one.

I remember buying mine in the early 2010s for like.. 350ish dollars. But mine isnt an Ethiopian.

700 dollars? You guys are nutz. Good luck.

I know I'm a day late and a dollar short but why would anyone buy from you when royal tiger offers the exact same product but cheaper

Let’s see wire wheeled with Ethiopian Coin wonder where they came from???

Lol I just bought mine for $500 today 😂 not $700

How much?

80+year old rifle goes for $700....

I drool in want of a good, but cheap Mauser!😍

The best not German mauser what i ever seen that is the Yugo preduzece 44 kar98k, but with the German handguard.

I have an SWP45 K98 bought many years ago before anyone even knew about these rifles or popularity. Paid $179 for it. But mine is way different than those you show. Mine was late war manufactured and has all the nazi proof eagles stamped on the barrel / receiver, etc. It also has the normal trigger guard, not the winter type. I even have an authentic WWII K98 sling on it. My stock also has the normal bolt disassembly disc and not a "medallion" on the rear of the stock. It even has that German purple tinted extractor. The stock is laminated with red glue stripes showing. The nazi eagles on the rear stock were ground off by a Russian arsenal. So I don't know what you have for sale, but mine is definitely manufactured during the war and not post war.

My favorite rifle

I would love one to go with my m48

Clint, that feedback, or squalling, is still on the video intro. Have you checked to see if any squirrels are drinking moonshine in your attic? Because they make some pretty bizarre noises, and that might be what your mike is picking up.

My Czech is in great shape, but the barrel ring has been wiped of the crest and other identifiers. Some of the parts have the Waffennamp stamp.

They're expensive because they have the "Winter Trigger Guard". A regular Czech Mod 98 Mauser will be cheaper.

To all that are concerned, at 7:41 if you pause the video in HD, you can see the bolt matches the receiver (all four digits). This isn’t to say that all are matching, but that they appear to.

Would you guys send out any gun you grab? Or check the best you can send out for the customer?

Very well dear

Mine it's the same rifle but the date is 1940

I've got a few 8mm Mauser rifles. My M-47 is a very interesting rifle. However the 1895 DWM 7MM is my favorite. My K-98 was converted to 30-06 & made into a sport rifle. The nice thing about the 8mm it can easily be converted to 35 Whelen caliber. Very versatile.

Of course I currently don’t have the money for one. Been looking for one of these for a while.

Never paid the price they want for the checz

Function and history really like these, great video

Thank you. You sediled a debate.

WOW!!! $700 for a K98 and with cracked stock!!!!!! Not in this life time, brother!

Today is the 9th and they aren't on your website....seems like that's a recurring situation

LOL Camping in a war game. Its a game and everyone plays their way. I guess I am one of the players you are talking about. But my KDR I bet is a lot better than yours.

bottom of the barrel tier

I found a brand new Mauser m98 for $609 dollars today, chambered in .243 and 30/06 online.

Pretty cool.

Bubba Glock!

will hand select have front sight hood?

I want one

wow I’m first wtf

It was roumerd that the ceczh workers put the barrel sight post at a canter to screw up the sighting on many rifles ? Has anyone else heard that ?

Intro music, please make it stop

Are they matching? Where were they imported from? Who used them post war?

They would be VZ 24 than?

$699.99

Beautiful rifle.

Damnit! My number one milsurp on my want list is a k98. Im gonna be broke this month though. Next month would be awesome and I could afford it then. Hopefully yall will get another shipment sometime this year.
