This video details the conservation-focused restoration of a severely flood-damaged Mauser K98. Mark Novak emphasizes preserving original finish over aggressive cleaning, using techniques like rust conversion boiling and careful scraping. Key steps include disassembling the rifle, treating rust with boiling and carding, steaming dents from the wood, and repairing the handguard with polyurethane glue.

This video is a trailer for a 2-Gun Action Challenge Match featuring two World War I rifles: the SMLE (Short Magazine Lee-Enfield) No. 1 Mk III* and the Kar 98AZ. The match is designed to highlight the SMLE's faster action and larger magazine capacity, especially in stages that allow for repeat fire, which was a limitation in a previous encounter. The event also serves as practice for a larger team match in September, where participants will use WWI gear. The description also references German Stormtroopers and suggests a book for further reading on the topic.
