8 Mauser Rifle Tips and Tricks 

The ejected rounds landed on the metal table that the camera tripod was on.

lol that sounded like a 22 firing. if the rifle actually fired would have sounded like a canon.

Comm Hetman I only fire with ear protection on so it still would have sounded about the same

Ah, when i first fired my mauser i didnt wear protection...

He is just slam firing them nonchalantly

Yeah, I didn't mention that in the video because not all Mauser have those.

Not all Mausers are cock on open.

@@abraham8310 german mausers do so whatever

probs the only tip specific to the mauser in the entire video

@@Kriegmann45 I'm pretty sure it's a prime on open

They are out there for the taking. Set your mind to it and it will happen.

Heheh maybe in the US, a heaven for those who enjoy firearms, like us Here in Brazil it's close to impossible. Not exactly because of the rarity of KAR 98s, but due to the insane firearms restrictions. Handguns here go for 3-4x times the price paid in the US, and it takes a hell lot of patience to go through the paperwork. That's for home defense only, to attend a range and competitions (be in the shooting sport) it's added patience / paperwork. Plus insanely high ammo price, lowest possible for a .380 trainer round (ONE lead round) is 0,70 dollar, for example... I can't imagine the price for a .308 (thinking that someday I could get those israeli-converted K98s) Someday I'm gonna endure the out-of-this-world challenge of IMPORTING firearms (since here you can find only some handguns and 1 - 3 carbine models). Costs start at 2000 dollars (taxes and handling, only allowed for companies and not physical persons); so it's better to save up import 3 - 4 firearms at the same time, to "spread" the costs. A K98 will definately be on the list! Anyway, sry for all the crying, lol, congrats on your videos! Really Awesome!

I just made a video about an Israeli K98k you might like. Sorry it's so rough there. Maybe one day you might want to move to the US and you will love the gun laws here.

PedroLoyola 98 variants can be 200-500 USD so you have no excuse.

heheh 500 USD is what a cheap, low-quality, generic .22LR riflecosts here in Brasil ( CBC 8022 model). The thing is that for me to import that 500 USD KAR98, I'd have to shell out additional 1500 - 2000 USD. Customs agents charge those 1500 - 2000 USD per import; you can bring up to 4 firearms per process. It's worth it, if you save the money... at least given our circumstances

Only Thought Out Bolt Action Ever.

I still prefer the Enfield as a battle rifle. Double the ammo capacity and much quicker to fire

@@SuperMehow1 yes but longer reload time. Unless we are talking magazines.

@@Mr_Fancypants Technically a magazine for a rifle can be longer. You have to waste extra time putting the empty magazine back into the pouch, which is usually harder than taking one out.

Hermann Fegelein Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! No seriously magazines in times like these were expensive, weighed to much, and had taken up more room than stripper clips, en blocks etc so that’s why they used clips not mags.

Gene Garren yes very true. I have a very tight magazine spring and it’s tough to put 5 there let alone 6.

Never had a problem I had 6 mausers

If you're shooting $20 or $50 or $100 worth of ammo at the range what's another $2?

Its more of a combat tip! If your in the range just load it by hand. 5 bullets aint much labor

For some reason my yugo m48 wont do that i actually bent the crap out of one trying to get it to pop out idk if they just weren't designed to to that

Well, I've only recently tried the 3rd one. I'll have to take your word on the other two, but I *would* like to find another Mauser...

And one more thing....AK.47 Soviet model

Same

Pretty sure it was at one point in time in Germany.

Pretty stiff spring to pull back with a spent case! Be careful!

@@jeffnelson1672 Try it, you'll be surprised. Once you get the angle right, its not as hard as you think, the case will hold. Just make sure your hands and case are dry and clean of oil.

I was like that too but know that's all I shoot bolt action and pump

Right! Like the sounds it makes are so amazing!

It's that mesmerizing sound of smoothness that's hipnotic. A masterpiece of engineering greatness with tolerances so right that it creates good vibes literally. I think the Beach Boys wrote a song about it.

The Mauser bolt-action is "the" classic bolt-action rifle design of the last 130-years. No one has managed to improve upon it which is why virtually every maker of bolt-action rifles today, whether for hunting, recreational or tactical use, uses their tried-and-true design. It simply works....

A good authentic Mauser has the smoothest bolt action, the only other that compares is the bolt action on the Krag Jorgensen rifle.

+728Joe Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.

What about catching it with gloves?

Lol.

Nope, try again.

I'm glad I read your comment. my ass probably would have burned myself

Anybody that soft worrying about burns will have died of shock from the recoil of the first round

Just can't tell you how much I enjoy this video just wish I could have fulfilled my re enacting dream just didn't happen du to covid

@ Back4Fungame: It is well-balanced and well-thought-out, which is why so many modern manufacturers of bolt-action rifles refer back to this timeless design - Remington, Winchester, Savage, Sako/Tikka, and Ruger, to name a few.... the Mauser was so good, that the U.S. copied the design - albeit with some mods and improvements - in the Springfield M1903.

You're welcome!

Thanks!

This happened to me for real with a 7.62mm Bren gun conversion during a Territorial Army (now Army Reserve) exercise in the 1980s - luckily I only had blanks. The safety was very weak and a misplaced bush managed to both knock off the safety and pull the trigger! Luckily the only thing hurt was my pride, not any members of my section.
