Someone give this man a medal

That is a great idea. I wish I would have thought of that. I used two pairs of needle nosed pliers and friggin he manned it on lol

Great idea! Simple, but worked like a charm on my M48 mauser. Thanks for posting this video.

Way go go! That's thinking outside the box! 👍

I got a old beat up and this video helped me to restoring it thank you !

Very nice! I’ve struggled so much with these things.

worked perfectly on my k98, thank you very much!

I used my vice to open it because I didn't have a ratcheting clamp worked great. Thanks for the brilliant idea!!!

damn dude, thanks! Didnt think of this. It worked like charm

I know this post is several years old, but Thanks!!!!

Worked like a hot damn! Thank you sir!

Thank You, It worked for me. I Used the spreader along with Sneaker Laces and it worked for me. Could Not have done it otherwise.

Great idea. I don't have a spreader but I will soon. Thanks!

Very good idea....thanks

very clever, thank you!

Thank you!

Just did it.. make sure to get a decent spreader got a dewalt rated at 300 pounds. and use the paracord...tried zip ties and they snapped

Brilliant!

INGENIOUS!

Thank you👏👏👏🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

So if I see correctly you reverse your spreader clamp to go the opposite way and it's strong enough to open the hood that's good to know because I try to open it with a cord by hand and let me tell you that little piece of steel do not bend at all LOL

Genius

Thanks

I just tried this method with my bar clamp/spreader and it's not strong enough. I tired to find the one you use but to no avail. Do you have a newer model suggestion (don't want to purchase another weak model).

Good trick. But go get you some snap ring pliers much easier.

Where did you get your sight hood? I just put my one on and it looks dumb because how big it is, it was my mistake for buying the cheapest one I could find, but I’d like to get a better one.

I bought it from gunbroker.com. I don't remember how much I paid for it.

Numrich has OEM Yugo ones for $13.50. Just got a couple and they're in pretty nice shape

I just use a snapring pliers works for me

Make sure the rifle is unloaded before pointing it at your head. Cheers

So my kar98 sight itself doesn't have the space anymore where the hood goed in. What can I do?

I think that the sight hood was not added until 1939. If your kar98 was made before that it would not have had the slots for the sight hood.

No original.
