Tell me about this gun (Nazi Mauser 98)

[GhettoFabulousCRX]

We had one just like that when I was a kid, don't do anything to it or try to clean the exterior in any way. I dunno if yours is the exact one we had but we sold it for a shit ton.

was it ever fired?.....Id keep it the way it is....worth much more later on.

Standard issue rifle at the time of WWII. More of a collectors item/museum piece for sure.

Good rifle though.

7.92 x 57, .323, or 8mm, whichever you'd prefer to call it

Yes it has been fired. Guns were made to be shot, cars were made to be driven...

Cool gun nice piece of history, where did your uncle get it?

[StangerBanger96]

It was his dad's...no clue where his dad got it nor if he was in the war but I'm assuming so

[SPANISH-RICE]

damn i think that is so cool , stuff with some deep history to it. and probly has a pretty crazy story to go with it as to how it got in your grandfathers possesion. o man i could about imagine what that gun has seen if it was actually used in the war

[StangerBanger96]

That really interested me too Brandon, although I'm thinking it probably didn't see MUCH war, if any, being as it was made in 44. Either way I find it interesting and cool to think that this gun was made by Nazi Germany in WW2.

[SPANISH-RICE]

Its just so weird to see things like that from so long ago. It was such a bad time , and seeing things like this just kinda reminds you that that stuff happened.

Reminds me of american beauty when that kid shows his girlfreind his dads dinner plate from ww2 with the swastika on the bottom. Idk i just think that stuff is interesting lol

[bubba]

I might know some ppl that could tell u a lot more about, I just dont remember where around here they are from... We have a few ppl that are very knowledgable about those kind of guns that set up at our shows...

Definately a collectors items with the Nazi stamps and stuff on them...

[SPANISH-RICE]

Ebay! Lol jk

my dad collected all sorts of nazi/ww2 memorabilia and weaponry before he died. I've got all his books and references somewhere at my parents' house. There's an off-chance I have something extremely helpful in there.. and I'm not sure how willing I am to start sorting through the boxes. because it sucks. so i'd do my research on the interwebz first. i know the mosin nagant fans have a really good site.. i'd figure the mauser stuff would be even more well-researched and documented.

One of the guys we were hunting with one year was hunting dear with a 9mm mauser with a big swastika engraved in the stock and a german eagle on the forearm. Peep sites.. sweet gun. And he was hunting deer with it lol

Another one of the guys we hunt with uses an 8mm mauser

[hotrod]

i got one of those the original if i were you id look for a original stock for the gun that one has been sporterizes if you can make it original its worth about 500 bucks in good shape
