Even after more than 100 years this rifle is still working like it came out fresh out of the factory 10 minutes ago.. Im proud of our german quality :)
Beautiful weapon. I especially like the shell ejection mechanism and how sharp and clean it is. They just pop right out of there. Like I pointed out in the Lebel video's comments, that gun's spent shells don't really get out very easily (I saw at least one get stuck in the breach), but you can all see that that's no problem here.
Very nice gun there! I may be biased as I have one myself! I wanted to ask you where you get ammo for it or of youve rechambered for modern rounds. I want to shoot mine so badly. Thanks for a great vid of shooting this beautiful rifle btw
Thank you sir I appreciate it. I get my ammo from my local gun store, Its decently priced there. Mine is still chambered in the original 8mm Mauser caliber.
+rusty nuts The Mauser has a stronger and safer action with three locking lugs in the front. It has a three position safety and very good accuracy. The Lee Enfield has the locking lugs in the rear, making the action weaker and the rifle slightly less accurate. The Mauser action has been copied so much because it is a superior design.
I was curious how you go about shooting this under 400 yards with the rear sight set at a minimum of 400? Some people have modified the front sight because of this and other say there is a technique to aiming that makes it easier. A response would be greatly appreciated! 😁
Mostly length/weight differences. The action, fire control group, and basic styling remains the same. The bolt handle on the K98 was turned down, as opposed to the straight handle on the Gewehr 98. In addition, the K98 never had the massive "Lange-Vizier" roller-coaster sights.
