Straight-pull Mauser 98

I love USOG's Youtube channel and have been a fan for a long time, but I've never seen a straight pull M98 before. Hopefully he will do an in-depth episode on this one.

Gotta be nerve wracking to pull the trigger on a M98 knowing you didn't pull the bolt down. Like to know what's holding it in battery.

Its 98 receiver but certainly not a 98 bolt.

Does it rotate and lock in.

Might as well just buy a Ross!

Would need detailed pictures to make any determination on how they are achieving lockup.

This guy should be an AH member. I mean he has the clothing and a Mauser 98!

LOL, I would love to discover someday that he is on AH! He is truly one of my favorite online personalities when it comes to firearms. We clearly have a shared interest in classic hunting rifles.

Interesting. I noticed that he jiggled with the bolt on final closing. Wonder what that is about. I would not care for carrying it with bolt sticking straight out like that. Pretty much impossible to change shoulders when slinging the rifle.

If my memory serves, this bolt was made by Sommer & Ockenfuss to convert classic bolt action Mauser 98 K into a Straight pull action. I think they also tried to make the same kind of bolt for the Remington 700 too. It was in the end of 90's and in the Kettner book.

Sure looks like a 95 Yugo featuring the Mannlicher bolt system. Old Ferninad was way ahead of his time with the design

Many were converted to 8x57 to be used as a rear area weapon in WW2

Wish Harald Wolf had made his Newton Leverbolt into more productions .

That was a straightpull that few could reckon with
