The better part is its not even a k98.

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 :)

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.

You did a pretty good job of destroying the value of the rifle without even fixing any of the things actually wrong with it.

Can I double like? My god, the shine at the end 🎉

Excellent congratulations 👏👏👏😉🙏

Bro you ruined the poor thing :(

Looks good, might consider doing the barrel and receiver.

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.

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

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.

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.

Looks more like a Persian license build of the Gewehr98 (Prussian/German empire service rifle)

Just my personal opinion, but you just destroyed, what took history about 70 years to create, and you butchered that rifle! 😥

che cosa dovrei dire.... Simpaticoni toglietemi il collegamento

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.

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. ..
