This rifle is a Model 98/29 Persian Mauser, made in the 1930's by CZ, in Czecheslovokia. The giveaway is the Arabic numerals on the rear sight, & the design of the front sight protector. Superb quality rifles when made, very heavy service in the Middle East, & less than consistent maintenance, makes most examples in fairly rough condition when found today. This one was actually in pretty nice shape at the start, & while the refinishing actually lowered the rifle's collector value, it looks stunningly gorgeous on completion, & as long as the owner's happy with it, that's all that matters. Well done!
A number years ago there were several hundred unissued of these on the market here in the US, including original slings and bayonets. I know as I purchased two at the time. The ones I received were still in the factory packing grease! They were manufactured as part of a contract with CZ from the Shah of Iran, to be used by his honor guards but were still at the factory when he was deposed and fled the country. I keep on in the original condition (unfired) and take the other to the range from time to time. A great rifle but I'll still stick with my various Swedish Mausers as my favorites :)
Yeah it's sad that the history is now gone and I'll always give people a little bit of crap for doing this, however I'll always support their right to do whatever with their property be it a rifle of their land and what is on it.
No, BRNO in Czechoslovakia. You had the country right, CZ is in the same country. This BRNO is still making 98 Mauser rifles. They are under the Zastava manufacturers name. Type in Zastava and CZ in your google.
I have an unissued Persian 98/29 Mauser. It was shot three times at the factory at the target in 1931. I have the target. I cleaned the barrel when I bought it and pulled a couple pigtail drill filings out. I paid 700 for it from Samco in the 90s. I got an good condition shooter and a barreled action on the same order. Still have all of them. The Persian Mausers were excellent. I put them up with the 1909 Argentine as far as a military Mauser 98 action. Actually the old country is renamed the Czech Republic.
I am more of a purist , if that is the right word , my milsurp rifles , I will disassemble and clean throughly . A few I have stripped the stocks of old dirt / grime / varnish . I have steamed out small shallow dents , but never sanded , you take off to much wood and the sharp clean lines become softened / rounded. I use several coats of boiled linseed oil and only use steel wool & clean with a tack rag . Yet I understand each to their own and what they want the rifle to be . Overall if that was his vision , then he accomplished it
@@FormerMPSGT for the milsurp rifles I have , my understanding is they used linseed oil , then sometime in WWII they switched and started using tungoil , for the M1 Garand
I recently bought a 1943 dou kar98k which is in quite a good shape. But the stock is very oily, and quite sticky, do you know any methods maybe to give it a nice finish without attacking the stock to harshly?
@@FreakiMuffin sorry , I was out of town . I have used a concentrated degreaser / cleaner called Purple Power on a rifle , it is in a spray bottle . I scrubbed the stock throughly then rinsed throughly ( in a shower , sitting in a tub ) with hot water dried it with a towel and hung it up in my lower level of my house . I also use a spray called Oil Eater and have used Citrus Strip , a milder cleaner . Some have used Mineral Spirits with a rag to wipe off the grime and oil . If you use any steel wool the finer the better , make sure to clean the steel wool first before using , it has oil on it to help keep it from rusting . When finished I use several coats of Boiled Linseed Oil on the stock
I'd bet the telltale signs would be from the Arabic numberings on the rear sight and distinct front sight protective hood. I thought it was even an Ottoman Mauser, maybe the 1903 version. EDIT: yea it's Persian, the chamber crest matches lmao
This is a Persian Model 98/29 mauser. Not a K98 or “PUBG K98”, can’t stand that but whatever. Would’ve been better off just leaving it and using some boiled linseed oil on the stock and oiling the metal.
Also you went wayyyy too far on the stock. You can see the buttplate no longer fits exactly on the buttstock as the edges are protruding from the wood, so you definitely sanded way too much. The stock disc is also protruding. Please never work on another firearm again. If you want to see someone who actually knows what they’re doing work on something go watch Anvil Gunsmithing.
What did I just watch? Holy shit, this is a historical rifle lover's worst nightmare... - Razor blade finish removal - Whizzed rotary sanding of the stock - Tapered flathead screwdriver use - Hand sanded & filed bolt handle - Only cleaning the exterior of the bolt when it needed to be disassembled to be done properly - That mirror buttplate looks awful I don't wanna go on much further, but couldn't help notice that after all that abuse, the rear right disc looks to be at least 1/8" proud of the stock. The stock itself looks nice, but man this was a super ham handed approach that ruined the rifle.
What color stain did you use on the stock? came out great. Sad thing is the heave oil saturation at the back of the receiver. would take some acetone to remove. So the big question is: How does it shoot? is the bore good? is it accurate?
When someone restores an M1 Garand in this fashion: Great job on keeping history alive by restoring this beautiful old war horse! Here's my money! When someone restores a K98: Ewww! It's ruined! And i love how the owner of this channel likes almost all replies, yet never answers any of them 😅
Military rifles don’t have shiny pieces. Look how bad the buttplate fits the stock as way too much was sanded off. Why didn’t you take apart the bolt and clean it? This isn’t a restoration, it’s a personal “hotrod” personalization of a rifle. No longer any collector or historic value, now just a shiny gewgaw for the wall.
No, it's not "over restored", it's butchered. Look at the fit of the buttplate. Butcher boy removed an 1/8 inch (3mm) of wood. All collector value of that rifle was just destroyed.
He didn't do the greatest job but it doesn't matter there were millions of them made, as for PATINA that's a form of mental disease you don't want rust on anything, unless you want it to slowly dissappear/ rot to nothing in a few generations
you are incompetent, war rifles are not restored in this way, you have taken away its history, what the rifle has experienced in battle, you have ruined the rifle forever, now it has no more historical value.

Restoration in the slaughterhouse. This is a crime that you did with this poor rifle. All scratches, all dents tell their own history and they remove them. Would you also cut off the tongue of a veteran? By the way, you know why weapon metal parts are black when you leave the factory? Your high gloss polished parts look like garbage and show your position in the battlefield.
He definitely could have done a better job, however it's a veteran as you say and veterans wear civilian clothes after the war & try to put it behind them, that's why unless in pristine condition they should all wear civilian clothes/ sporterized
Nah its the Persian Mauser Model 98/29, same basic action but with shortened barrel and different sighting system (the Persians called it the 1309 model apparently, as that's the Islamic year of its adoption).
Before you next start destroying a historical gunstock, I recommend watching the video broadcaster "midayUSA" - "Repairing a Remington Model 11 Gunstock | Remington Model 11 Shotgun Project".
The rear tangent sight has Arabic numberings on them. It was definitely Mauser model, and its certainly was made for Arab country contract at some point. The marking on top of the chamber face I'm not too familiar though, gotta have to research more into it.
what a shame, another person pretending to restore a rifle. The stock of no Persian Mauser is so shiny, and on the other hand the defect on the edge has not been corrected. There is no such thing as a mirror polished butt cap, like many others parts. on the other hand, the shutter has not been touched, as well as the mechanics, half rusty. and let's leave aside the "restoration" of the shutter without even dismantling it. you have not restored anything, and where you touched you did badly. congratulations. ..
My mind was screaming " No!" when you started the orbital sander

please, don't ever touch a firearm again.... B.U.B.B.A
This is not kar 98 its czechoslovakian vz.24 rifle it was used in czechoslovak army before WW2
doesnt it have arabic numerals on the rear sight tho? prob ottoman or persian
That's not a KAR98 that's a VZ 24 built for the Persian military.
It's definitely a Persian 98/38 rifle in 8x 57 IS calibre!
yeah, S.N and model was punched in Farsi.
it didnt need to look new i think it used to be better and more worthy before

this is not a kaar98k but a mauser 98 the previus model of the mauser family widely used in ww1
its a persian mauser
05:32 wood work
Not a k98. K98k have no wood between the rear sight and the receiver just blank space. This is most likely a vz24 or an FN if some kind
Looks nice but now it's lost it's history and monetary value.

It seem like all gewehr 98 derived rifle is called "PUBG Kar98", there is even an SMLE No4. Mk.I called a k98, that sickens me somehow.
Just my personal opinion, but you just destroyed, what took history about 70 years to create, and you butchered that rifle! 😥
Never touch a firearm ever again
Triste is a spanish mauser made in la coruña
What did you reblue the parts with?
The wire wheel made me cringe
what was the liquid in 10 minute
Either bluing or rust-bluing solution would be my bet
Isn't this a G98? The Kar98 is actually a shorter variant of the G98.
It seems to be an persian mauser actually

Nope it's a Persian mauser...
