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?
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
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." ?
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.
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 :/
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…
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.
@philmann3476 The stock being cut just forward of the first barrel band. Is usually called a duffel cut. When GI's brought guns back they would stuff them in their duffel bags. They would take the action out of the stock, but the stick was still too long and so it'd be cut so it could fit in their duffel bags.
I get that you’re just repeating what everyone else on the internet says… but that rifle had no collector value. It was destroyed had zero finish all the wood was damaged and it was pitted like crazy. He salvaged what was useable and made a hunting rifle out of it. It will now be used and enjoyed. And he did a good job of sporterizing too. It’s not a hack job.
There are a lot of sporterization fans trying to justify this in the comments. Views on the destruction of this rifle aside, that is some good craftsmanship.
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
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.

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.

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
@@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 🤷♂️
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 .
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.
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 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
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 REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IS ALL THE HATE HIS MONEY, HIS VISION, HIS CHOICE AND HE DID A SPLENDID JOB RESTORING IT BTW. IT'S EVERY MAN'S FATE, THAT HATERS GONNA HATE😂😂
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
I have an original K98, all parts matching with all the Nazi markings and proof markings. It was rusted up pretty good, and the wooden stock soiled. No pitting, though. I've been working on it here and there to restore it. 1938. I did a bunch of work over the years for free for a neighbor, who fell off his roof putting up Christmas lights and became a paraplegic in a wheelchair. Before he moved away, he gifted me with this rifle. He said that his grandfather had taken it off a Nazi soldier who he killed during WWII. What a gift!
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 )
@@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.
Haha you managed to piss off the Mauser world. My favorite rifle is a Swedish M38 is a Fajen Schnabel stock with Marble's sights that was built in the 60s. Not good for larping as a WWII soldier but great woods rifle. Nice work.
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?
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.
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.
Excellent, great job! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! Sporterization according to the wishes of the customer, regardless of what some comment here!
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.
You sir, have committed a sin. If you want a hunting rifle, buy one. Don't ruin a rare and magnificent piece of history just so you can shoot some deer with it. There is plenty of modern, better options designed for that.
This isn't a restoration its a Frankenstein like how dare you throw away the original wood and then have the gaul to change the bolt by putting it on an angle and adding a modern scope and getting rid of the original sights
…you realize that’s not likely a service seen K98 right? I sincerely doubt it has any historical significance whatsoever so it doesn’t matter if he sporterized it
To everyone complaining. While I would also prefer to see the rifle in original condition, this is not a Kar98K WW2 era military Mauser. The one he has was a commercial Mauser made for the civilian market for hunters and sportsmen. This was already a hunting rifle. I know this because the military version did not have the Mauser logo on top of the receiver and the military version had a single spring system for the front two barrel bands. If any Mauser was going to be sporterized, better this one than an actual military Mauser.
This is Kar98b/Gewehr 98 m Rifle Greet job you destory a really fuxking rare Rifle Kar98b is German Mauser rifle or Karabiner The Karabiner 98b was not technically another "carbine" variant, but rather was a rifle designated as a carbine to comply with the terms of the Treaty of Versailles which only allowed Germany to produce carbines. And this is a original model for Kar98k design in 1935 In service: 1923 - 1935 it's price: 920$ - 1200$
I don't care what anyone says, and neither should you. As a collector of 1900-1947 rifles and having to clean, polish, strip wood and every dirty time consuming job in between, I am amazed at your work.
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

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....
That was an amazing job perfectly functional it’s not a hanging wall riffle no more
Wow awesome you ruined a K98k
shut up
@@killerqueen9172 no fr he ruined it. this is a WW2 relic. some soldier died behind that gun.
@@Kroenen02 this is his gun let him do what he wants
@Killer Queen buy a modern gun, they are cheap, let the antiques go into the hands of people that will take care of them and not mutilate.
Completly destroyed a classic rifle :\
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
Piece of history bro
And you will be too one day but in this case there will be no hope of restoring you.
You destroyed one of the best bolt action rifles ever made...
A historic military rifle turned into some fudd's deer rifle. Such a waste.
exactly ruined the rifle entirely.
What!?! No way have you thrown that stock away! I really hope you’ve kept it and it was for the video!
IT WAS GREAT GUN. WAS.
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.
Excellent, great job! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! Sporterization according to the wishes of the customer, regardless of what some comment here!
Exactly! Many commenters wanting him to keep a stock that would have come apart on the first firing!
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
You destroyed it bro...
And he will do it again because all of you commenting this just drives video engagement and brings more views.
German Perfectionism..
Love that thing..
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.
You sir, have committed a sin. If you want a hunting rifle, buy one. Don't ruin a rare and magnificent piece of history just so you can shoot some deer with it. There is plenty of modern, better options designed for that.
It is sad how many historical rifles have holes drilled into them because someone’s grandpa wanted a sporting/hunting gun
The First professional job I've ever saw in TH-cam! Good job!
I love Kar98k’s and this really kills me on the inside.
This is why people have trust issues
This isn't a restoration its a Frankenstein like how dare you throw away the original wood and then have the gaul to change the bolt by putting it on an angle and adding a modern scope and getting rid of the original sights
…you realize that’s not likely a service seen K98 right? I sincerely doubt it has any historical significance whatsoever so it doesn’t matter if he sporterized it
i swear all these gun restos are just ok old guns that someone puts a light rusting soloution on to make them look ruined at the start
That's not restoration. That's stupid modification.
you just destroy a piece of history....
To everyone complaining. While I would also prefer to see the rifle in original condition, this is not a Kar98K WW2 era military Mauser. The one he has was a commercial Mauser made for the civilian market for hunters and sportsmen. This was already a hunting rifle. I know this because the military version did not have the Mauser logo on top of the receiver and the military version had a single spring system for the front two barrel bands.
If any Mauser was going to be sporterized, better this one than an actual military Mauser.
This is Kar98b/Gewehr 98 m Rifle
Greet job you destory a really fuxking rare Rifle
Kar98b is German Mauser rifle or Karabiner
The Karabiner 98b was not technically another "carbine" variant, but rather was a rifle designated as a carbine to comply with the terms of the Treaty of Versailles which only allowed Germany to produce carbines.
And this is a original model for Kar98k design in 1935
In service: 1923 - 1935
it's price: 920$ - 1200$
Now it goes bang that's pretty cool.
It Got a straigt handle , so it is a ww1 Gewher98 , not a kar98 😏

What the hell did you do to such a perfect rifle
I don't care what anyone says, and neither should you. As a collector of 1900-1947 rifles and having to clean, polish, strip wood and every dirty time consuming job in between, I am amazed at your work.
This is a sin. Go to church and ask for forgiveness after this. Why not just buy a modern bolt action riffle instead of destroying an antique.
Title should be: K98 restoration and then destruction. Im gonna restore this K98 then ruin it
Not even a K98, it's a standardmodell
So satisfying watching the video. The master at work
how to destroy a historic rifle in a video
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
beautiful weapon with charm and flaunted timeless precision and great power
Well done on destroying a piece of history and dropping it's value massively.
I throw up when he cut and bent the bolt handle I can't watch anymore 😪
Great GunSmith work 🤘
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!
How to destroy a historic rifle
Unfortunately lots of people do this with Kar98 and M48 (Yugoslav), so they legalize them for hunting
I am really impressed by the ways you create this video! It’s extremely exciting!
Turn a Gerwehr 98 into a Kar 98....
Thank you for destroying it piece of History
