Reproduction Mauser k98k

[Mike Webb]

Well aware of production techniques used. I am retired from almost 40 years as a machinist. Just saying good help is hard to get these days. Just ask anyone running a business in heavy industry.

Wow! as someone looking into what actual Kar 98s go for (cries), a reproduction could be promising! will have to see what the price is though...

 

[Sharkman711]

A chance to get a Mauser that won't bankrupt me? How lucky!

 

[Great North Guns]

I doubt they can be made at a satisfactory quality level for significantly less than an entry level military gun.

 

[Great North Guns]

Regarding the repro being priced at what some feel is high. Looks to me to be considerably lower quality than ANY prewar German or Czech manufacture rifle. Read a writeup on pre war k98's some years back that stated if a rifle comparable to the original were built today sticker price would be at least $2000 a unit. I would be inclined to go along with that.

Add at least another grand, maybe two

Compare a real Mauser bolt to the bolts on a lot of guns today...

The Mauser bolt is a work of art.

Meanwhile, the bolt on my Mossberg MVP is just a bunch of fugly cast parts...

Anyone hear any further information on this, or a price point?

or any industry, for that matter

No news since they announced this...can't wait to try one out

 

[Sharkman711]

I emailed them and heard back that they were aiming for a mid-April release. If you email them, they'll put you on the mailing list

Has anybody come across any new updates regarding these rifles?

Didnt Zastava have these in their catalogue about 20 years ago?

I think it was less time than that. I think they still had them listed just over 10 yrs ago. I was disappointed no one in Canada seemed to be bringing them in at the time. I believe that Zastava was also the source of Mitchell’s Mauser’s.

I was looking forward to one or two of them

 

[hollowedpoint]

I need 2 of these! One in 8MM and 308

 

[Gundoggy]

[The.22guy]

Still no news on these it seems.

They're probably busy filling military orders.
