Video: 1933 Standard Model Mausers

Speaker 1:
Hey, everybody. Matt from Classic Firearms customer service and I've got a fantastic group of rifles to present to you today. Before we get into them, I do want to let you know there's still time to enter our Father's Day giveaway, so if you haven't entered yet or if you still need to do your daily entry for today, click on this box that should be up here, and that will take you to our site where you can enter to win that $1,000 gift card for one lucky dad. On to these rifles, and I do think this is a great group of rifles, a very special opportunity. So what we have for you today is 1933 Standard Model Mauser rifles. So, the Standard Model was produced before World War II. It's based on the Gewehr 98 Action, the 98 B and effectively it's a pre-World War II version of a K-98. The K-98 was kind of based on this because these were from 1933 and the K-98 started production in 1938. William's behind the camera. William, come on in. We're going to take a close look at these rifles. Another name for the Standard Model is the Banner Mauser. You can see this Mauser banner, because this is a commercial rifle. On the side here, you'll see a marking that says, "Mauser Werke Oberndorf," so these were made in the Oberndorf factory in Germany. Now, unlike the military rifles, these rifles are actually in 7 x 57 mm Mauser. Again, because they're commercial, they were available in multiple calibers, so all six of these rifles are in 7 x 57, and these six rifles are all we have. We're actually going to be selling them individually by their serial numbers. Why don't we go ahead and take a close look at the overall condition of this rifle, and that we can make sure that you know what you're going to buy, because you are going to be purchasing them individually by serial number. Some things to keep in mind here. You can see, on this rifle, there is no butt plate. There's obviously quite a bit of handling marks and things along the stock. This front swing swivel looks a little misshapen. This is B67877 and we have this for $399.99. Our next rifle here, let's go ahead and make sure we start in front. We're going to get a good look at the stampings here as we pass by the receiver. There's that crest again, banner. On this one, again, no butt plate. This one does have a fairly distinctive crack here in the upper hand guard. This rifle is B68433, again, $399.99 on this one. Now we're getting into rifles that are in a little bit better condition, so all of these are going to have butt plates. This rifle, B68552, we're going to have for $419.99. You see still a good bit of handling marks and age on there. This one does have the flat butt plate. It is missing the rear swing swivel, here. Other than that it looks like a pretty complete, good rifle. Let's go and work that action. Always smooth Mauser actions. You got to love them. Five round internal magazine. Just like K-98, same size, same weight, just a different caliber and made for the commercial market. This next rifle, here, we got. There's a little bit of corrosion, maybe, on the barrel that looks like very surface there, and so that should clean off nicely. Some of the stampings on this are a little bit more. That Mauser symbol there on the front. However, this rifle is also missing the rear sling swivel, here on this side, but this has the heavy-duty butt plate. Those are very popular, very heavy-duty door busters, right? We're offering this rifle, also, for $419.99 and this is going to be the B68455. One more rifle in this group before we move on. This one, I think the stock looks a little bit better on this one. It is missing that front swing swivel. It does have a little bit of damage here in the rear area. We have some markings here on the side of the rifle. We also have this one for the $419.99. This is B67678. Okay. Finally, this has got to be the premier out of the group we have. Again, only these six, so I think the stock looks in much better condition. Just outstandingly better condition. No corrosion that's visible on here. I think this is actually a really great example of these Standard Model Mausers. Once again, smooth actions. Mauser's are renown for. This is serial number B67015. We're actually going to have this one for $449.99. In addition to these six rifles, remember if you're going to pick up one of these or any other Mauser that you have in your collection and want to do a little bit of a refinish or refurbishment, we do also have Mauser stocks that's available. You can just hold this over these rifles and get an idea of how much better these rifles would look in one of these stock sets. Now, each stock set will come with all the metal furniture pieces and the upper-hand guard. You're going to have a complete stock that you can use to refurbish or renew a rifle. Everybody, I want to say, "You can go right up here to this box to buy any of these rifles." They're going to be sold by individual serial numbers, so make sure to record the information of which one you're looking for. As always, we appreciate you coming to ClassicFirearms.com.
