RIP to that beautiful Mauser Karabiner 98 Kurz, Now it's just another rifle
Hello, it's not a Karabiner 98 Kurz, but a Gewehr 98, i agree to the rest of your comment.
@@d3rnoobspi3ss21 it's not a Gewehr 98 either, it's a 1924 Mauser "Standardmodell". @ 4:04
Now I know I'll never see a "sporterizing" video of an old, rare and historic weapon again.
First half of the video: ok cool he is restoring the glorious 98k😃👍🏻
Second half: NOOOO, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, YOU MONSTER 😭😭
Not even the first half more like the first fifth
Its not a kar98, It was a GEWHER 98

You destroyed a piece of history, it was worth more as a relic.
40+ years ago I bought a Mauser for the princely sum of $75 with the idea of "sporterizing" it. It was a genuine DWM marked, "Berlin 1916" with matching numbers. It had been crudely sporterized at some point in its past, which consisted of having the stock forward of the first barrel band chopped off. My plan was to polish the receiver to a near-perfect finish, re-barrel it, fit a curved bolt handle, new safety, and fit it into a nice walnut stock. Other things (e.g. marriage) got in the way, however, and I never got around even to starting the project, which is a good thing.
Today, I still have the rifle as I bought it. The metal is fine with appropriate and honest wear, the markings and proof stamps are crisp, and I still get a kick out of that, "Berlin 1916." At that time the war was far from over, and it is quite likely some young man once depended on it to protect his life. I am so glad I never got around to my project, and the rifle, which will someday belong to one of my sons, has an honored place in our collection. Sometimes you are better off just leaving things alone.
I will never forgive the greatest generation for bringing these back from the war and sporterizing them
RIP to a rarer Banner model Mauser that could’ve still been worth a decent bit even as a stock mismatch. Thankfully we have another hunting rifle in the world now…
I thought it was a Banner Mauser also.
But I thought they only did commercials but that has a thumb cut out..
It's vz24
@@NotEnrali_XD what makes you think that?
@@tonyjones4861 straight bolt, H band up front, and butt plate not cupped.
@@therthondaniel372 did you not see the logo on the front bridge?
My heart ached seeing him throw away the original stock. I would've liked to seen him get or make a synthetic stock of the exact same shape as the original. At least then a piece of history would have a new lease on life.
Destroyer of history
literally dude
Why not make it useful again, and use it for 100 more years?
Quite the opposite my friend
It pains my heart to see such a beautiful piece of history get turned into this rest in peace k98k
Great Job for the lost of a piece of history. Now, it's look like a hunter rifle......... What a shame.
Thank you for showing the world what not to do.
Fr😢
Facts 😂🤦♂️
That's what I thought...
it saddens me to see history get destroyed, either destroy it or make it like the way it was back in its day.
Dude, you completely desecrated a piece of history. This "restoration" is the gun equivalent of the ecce mono painting.
What an actual masacre to a beautiful weapon.
I normally love your videos, but it’s a damn shame to ruin a K98
Rest in Peace to that beautiful piece of history. If you want a hunting rifle, go buy one
Don’t whine about it, I wasn’t your rifle it’s his and he can do everything he wants with it! It’s also not a “piece of history” they made 60-100 million of these and this rifle was not special in any way! I would have agreed with you is it was the rifle that shot the first round at the start of ww1 but it isn’t!
Only 14.5 million were made between 1935 to 1945 but if want to include the gewerh 98 which was produced from 1898 to 1935 (9 million units) the total combined would only be little over 23.5 million rifles just saying
Nah, instead of spending $1000 on a rifle. I'm gonna use this perfectly good one that didn't cost me a dime😂😂😂😂
Do you understand the concept of restoration videos, or do you think he said," I need a rifle,a KAR98 to be exact, my neighbor found one in his basement,bet ya he'll sell it cheap and then I can go buy everything I need to restore it,record the process,edit it and post it on youtube." ?
I have a 1937 k98k and I’m leaving it alone.
My lord, i was expecting a restoration, not destroying history. I know its your property and you can do whatever you want to it but...... come on, it hasn't lasted 100 years just to get cut up and ruined :/
Yeah no
I really liked the volcanic welding and big shitty voids in the bolt handle work you did. Frickin' awesome work, Bubba.
Sporterizing it was kinda a crime tbh, but at least he didn't shorten it.
I mean he didn't take a nice one and do it. Anything he did to this one was saving it from The Rust.....
It was a piece of junk before, now it's a working weapon
The rifle is too badly damaged due to rust, has no historical or collectible value. Why not give a new life to it?
Butchery
Original or death.
Nice job. You destroyed a good k98 rifle... Wtf is that bolt? And that stock?
It was even rarer ,mauser 98b
There is a special place in hell for people who sporterize perfectly good rifles that just need a little love to bring them back to their former glory
I bought one sporterized but it’s not what you think. Everything is original except it doesn’t have a cleaning rod/bayonet mount. Maybe I’m wrong, but it def doesn’t have a cleaning rod, it’s filled in with wood instead
Never get an old military rifle ever again
STOP SPORTERISATION OF THESE PRICELESS RELICS! They aren’t as common. Do us all a favour. Take your money and reverse your crime. Vintage warfare has said this and loads of gun tubers have too! Do not sporterise vintage rifles! For heavens sake and in the name of all the gods that may smite you. Just STOP. You want to a hunting rifle or a sporting rifle? BUY ONE! They are cheaper than ruining a piece of history. I swear I’m going to have a stroke.
it's his money and his kar he can do what he want with it
i take back what i said after seeing him put that's stock next to the trash can i'm pissed now
@@project_baby__1720 I absolutely understand that it is his gun but it’s a priceless relic of history now! If you want a sporting rifle buy one rather than massacring history. I’m British and currently trying to join a rifle association in order to get a license to own beautiful historical pieces as such. Seeing this heresy makes me cry.
Do what I want
@holden cross, check 3:32, the place where the model and place of production should be. It say STANDARD MODELL.
no priceless relic actually states that. This is an american/english made or sportive made mauser. If it said "standaard modelle or model" it would had have been an german made ine
This poor K98. Someone needs to stop this dude before he finds another - seriously.
You can say what you say but this is destroying history, you can also say "there are millions of those made, it doesnt serve a purpose and it doesn't matter if one gets destroyed" but all of those are very very valuable and none of them are not meant to be destroyed. My respect to every even little part of history and every soldier who fought for their peoples freedom ( even germans )
sad
@@rickreeve1246 Yes it is... some people dont understand how important it is to not destroy history.
Exactly even if you made the other changes but gave the stock away and didn’t throw it out it would be 100s of times better than just throwing it out
@@CrazyKnight-tc8hbest thing to do is not to sporteraze it, just leave them alone but when he put that stock in the trascan... it really hurt my history loving brains.
Well what do you want him to do? Just leave that gun be and let it damaged even further, or restore the gun and and preserve the history?
Several years ago when my grandfather passed away, he passed onto me a German 8 mm Mauser that he brought back with him from the war along with original ammunition from 1941. It makes me sad to see this gun change from its original state to a double trigger. I still value my grandfather’s rifle and keep it in working condition. I’ve shot it bunches of times . It’s a strong rifle and even if you ran out of bullets the weapon it’s self was build so solid you can use it as a club and do major damage . You need to either talk when your point at things so we know what your thinking or put sub titles . There are lots of people that have no clue when your just pointing or tapping on something .
Yay, another destroyed Mauser...
you broke my heart and got me teared up when you took a hacksaw to that bolt …and you threw the original stock away…8/10th’s of it’s life story gone right there…how could you
ever heard of "opinions"?
@@pallas-and-her-pals yeah, the option to go and buy a cheap savage bolt action rifle for around 300, instead of trying to keep intact what was a piece of history from a different era?? Yeah, I know those option and from the time and materials spent on making this different, I would have just gotten a 300 bolt action rifle 🤷♂️
Ok, I've read the comments and watched the video all the way through, and I'm gonna throw my opinion out there.
The old stock definitely needed replacement, the wood was cracking in multiple places. I wouldn't have thrown it away myself, but whatever.
The new stock seemed a little out of theme, mainly due to the etching on it.
The choice to bend the bolt makes complete sense due to wanting to mount modern scopes on it.
My personal choice would have been to keep it as an infantry rifle, but that's not my call.
As for the restoration of the rifle internals, he did a great job! They look brand fucking new!
So while I don't agree with every choice made, at the end of the day, it's not my rifle, the man can do whatever the fuck he wants to do with it.
L'ancienne crosse était tout à fait réparable j'ai restauré des crosse en bien plus mauvais état
This is just utter destruction… this is so upsetting and just made me cry it went from a museum worthy piece to a piece of crap you would find at a gun buy back
IT'S JUST HORRIBLE !!! YOU JUST DESTROY A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF HISTORY !!!
personally I saw this title and thought "huh K98 Restoration, sounds cool". After clicking on the video and seeing it says sporterize, I lost my shit... That gun is a priceless piece of history, and I know people that would **Crucify** you for doing this to a K98. I suggest you watch your back for those people. All the reenactors will agree with me as well, especially because of the rise in price for these pieces of history. So to end my little rant, Screw you.
You're definitely overreaching, and being incredibly rude while you are at it. If you didn't like it, just move on. "Screw you", are you a child? He found it, he can do with it as he pleases
Overreacting *
"Priceless" 🤣
Such a shame; it’s a Mauser “Standard Modell”, likely made for export. They’re fairly rare, and are historically interesting for the role they played in Germany’s post T of V rearmament. It’s a shame that this knucklehead butchered one right here in front of us; here in the U.S., we refer to such “craftsmen” as “Bubbas”.
As an alternative, he could have repaired the stock, boiled, carded, and lubricated the metal (without additional bluing solution), and preserved it’s historic value. It would’ve functioned just as well as the monstrosity he just cobbled together, and it would be worth $400 - $500, rather than $200 as a “sporterized” example.
You did a good thing by fixing up the barrel action but then you turned around did a complete 180 and destroyed it by sporterizing the stock
"How to turn a $1,000 rusted rifle to a $300 hunting rifle!"
He absolutely butchered it from start to finish .. an absolute disgrace to call this a "restoration"
As a French polisher and resurfacing technician .. when he trow that wood, it made me mad that you could restor perfectly and keep this authentic. This is like u asking me to remake your antique desk, and I put a top from IKEA.
i agree with you. The wood wasnt so bad after all
Broke my heart to see even this K 98 mauser cut and drilled. It's real value is its history and authenticity as a service rifle, not as a sporter. There are a lot better sporting rifles available that don't have collector's value. Alas....
Today I will tell you a story, how I've turned an authentic german rifle into a lame custom.
Who quit watching when he through the perfect wood furniture in the trash, he is wrong for that.
I throw up when he cut and bent the bolt handle I can't watch anymore 😪
A historic military rifle turned into some fudd's deer rifle. Such a waste.
exactly ruined the rifle entirely.
weapon like this should be in a museum... not sporterized
theres a billion of them who cares.
@@CamAteUrKFC nope therea not millions of vz24's in museum, vz24 is a rare gun
@@NotEnrali_XD Even worse, it's a standardmodell
I mean there’s quite a bit of them, several millions were made.
The pinnacle of creativity. It is not the painters and sculptors who are called artists. Rather, what you are doing in terms of restoration is also art. Greetings to you, your brother Muhammad from southern Iraq.
Great job now it looks like every other sniper on the market
this is what we call a "bubba" conversion. sporterizing a historical rifle, what a waste. that bolt handle looks so atrocious.
Yes that is a shame. It now looks like a ordenery standard soul less hunting rifle i don't get why people are doing this...
You completly destroyed it
Its sad to see a piece of history turn into that because before it was a piece of crap it was a rare early k98 probably one of the first ones
It’s not my place to be mad but the wood held so much history why did you just throw it away like that?
Пока смотрю это видео уже дошел до шестой минуты и столько вопросов возникло. Например мне стало очень интересно, когда вы сделали отверстия для кронштейна оптического прицела. Неужели у вас есть оригинал или копия оптического шестикратного немецекого прицела ZF? В любом случае я заинтригован, продолжаю смотреть дальше. Ну и очень хотелось бы чтобы вы заменили деревяную ложе на стандартный классический вариант.
Как закончу смотреть дополню комментарий.
Upd: Я полностью посмотрел это видео и финал меня очень расстроил. Зачем надо было портить оригинальный немецкий маузера переделав из него охотничью винтовку? Ладно, с оптическим прицелом все понятно, достать оригинал в наше время почти что не выполнимая задача. Но деревянное ложе (приклад и цевьё) винтовки можно было бы подобрать, да и спусковой механизм оставить каким он был изначально. Ну что больше всего меня расстроило, так это то, что вы решили погнуть стебель затвора, понимаю прямой не очень устраивает, раз уж решили его гнуть, то зачем надо было его гнуть именно таким образом? Можно было бы добиться более правильного угла наклона как у оригинала, добиваясь сходства.
В общем от оригинальной винтовки мало что осталось, но реставрация определенно хороша. За старания лайк. Но то что вы убили коллекционный предмет, этого я не могу понять.
Он захотел - он сделал. Хочешь посмотреть маузера - иди в музей. Я не понимаю комментаторов, чел проделал отличную работу, сделав удобную и практичную винтовку, не говорю, что старый маузер непрактичный, однако, он решил иначе.
What the hell did you do to such a perfect rifle
It was an absolute crime that you restored this piece of history It was more valuable the way it sat than it did when you cleaned it up You killed the value of the weapon
I personally don’t think it is an original kar98k, but rather a cheaper remake, that rifle probably had no value before hand at all, and neither any afterward
I love how you're mad about the restoration, meanwhile I'm mad about the sporterization.
@@MegaMonkeyAids that was not a kar98, It was a GEWHER 98, even more ancient than a kar98, so, the sin is even worst
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!
If you had left the rifle as it was after restoting it, it'd be worth more than any crappy sport rifle you'd ever find. Why would you also destroy historical items?
This.
Why would you do that....
A crime committed right before your eyes.
Pitted Standard Modell, a lot went to china, but I too would have been delighted to see a 1:1 restoration :)
Well that gun just got ruined 😢
Im with u guys
Is he talking about the guns state or the restoration
There was a big difference between Nazi, German and Wehrmacht soldier
Someone send this to Johnathan Ferguson and Ian from forgotten weapons and watch them have an aneurysm 😬
I skipped right to the end, I am in fucking awe. WHY DESTROY THIS and make it look horrid 🥲 I hate it
All that time and craftsmanship and you stick weld the bolt handle?
Wie kannst du so ein Gew98 nur verhunzen😢
6:40 nononononono oh god nononononoooo
Sporterization is a crime and it shouldn't be committed. Ruining perfectly good pieces, my heart cries.
It hurts to see a piece of history get mutilated like that
Bubba would be proud haha
my german hearth is dead seeing this horror
I understand the compassion some have for old rifles but you got to admit the man has talent, I have always admired someone that has the patient and knowledge to do something like this .
bubbas got talent
I think this was a waste of whatever this is and you should have preserved this gun for its natural beauty just saying why even do that to that gun there's brand new guns that one that was an original thing what a waste it's not it's not even that gun anymore it's something else it really was a priceless piece of art
I didn't read the sporterize part of the title. I was thinking why did they throw away the stock? thinking maybe they would have a new like for like replacement.
Instead you basically made a piece of history into the same many 1-300 dollar sporterized WW2 rifles that already exist.
Title should be: K98 restoration and then destruction. Im gonna restore this K98 then ruin it
Not even a K98, it's a standardmodell
What!?! No way have you thrown that stock away! I really hope you’ve kept it and it was for the video!
Hurts to watch..
Great video but sporterizing just hurt my soul.
If you need a riffle - buy it. Do not destroy ancient guns!
i know
totally ruined
I was saddened by the finished product, but I can't deny the quality of the work put into it.
This is a great example of what NOT to do with guns, the audacity
also bro this mf owns the gun not you
@@pallas-and-her-pals Tell that to the rest of the comment section, I'm free to comment what I want.
Who would’ve thought I’d see a video of someone being a Bubba and sporterizing a rather rare Standard Modell commercial export K98k lol 😂
How coupd you even do this to an OG gewehr-98, thats not even K98k respect the histo man!.
Because it's not a Gewehr 98. It's a Banner Mauser. Commercial gun made for export.
A shame what u did with the woodwork… its history man.
But… great craftsmanship..
I was like this is cool, and then I saw a drill bit plow through the receiver 😳
You destroyed one of the best bolt action rifles ever made...
It wa wa beutiful karabiner 98k and u wreck it
Completly destroyed a classic rifle :\
What the hell are you doing?
Был прекраснейший Маузер нуждающейся только в чистке, а теперь его превратили в кал.
Печально...
You destroyed it bro...
And he will do it again because all of you commenting this just drives video engagement and brings more views.
Good job you restored it and then ruined it. Turned a $2000 rifle into $300
Not wrong there
The 98k is my all time favorite rifle. It is still fairly popular in the sport shooting world AS IT IS. modernising it just ruins the feel...and its value. I hate to see it looking so generic.
🤣
That hurt to watch all the wood to waste no love
It wasn't even worth $2000
Ich konnte einfach nicht aufhören hinzuschauen.
Sind Sie von Beruf Büchsenmacher ?
Falls nicht, höchsten Respekt für dies Arbeit !
No wonder you can’t find these priceless relics anywhere, cause idiots like these take them and destroy them for a few clicks and views on TH-cam…I hate this…
Do us all a favor and put the original stock back on
Iì
Good.
IT WAS GREAT GUN. WAS.
Honestly when you brought the saw out and destroyed that bolt I was disgusted. F
That was an amazing job perfectly functional it’s not a hanging wall riffle no more
Das ist keine Restaurierung.
Bei einer Restaurierung wird alles im Originalen zustand belassen, dass hier ist ein Umbau.
Cant belive you destroy it..
that must be the most polite and ordered rust in the history of rusting, attacking every single atom of the build equally, and without clustering.
such an even, clean, coat of rust,... that even the insides of the firing mechanism are rusted, with the wooden frame not even scratched.
Restoration 101: How not to restore a Kar98 like a hipster D-bag. Up next, we'll be scraping off that original wood material finish on a 150 year old desk with some spray paint can white we picked up from Walmart!
Das ist keine Restaurierung sondern die Zerstörung einer historischen Waffe.
stimme zu
Ja, sie ist
Well now it's ruined
At fist I thought you were restoring it and keeping the history alive. But no, you instead butchered it and turned it into every average hunting rifle ever. What the fuck bro?
Piece of history bro
And you will be too one day but in this case there will be no hope of restoring you.
