Humpty dumpty sat on a crate of Mauser 98’s. Humpty Dumpty ripped off them all. All the buyers and the collects couldn’t get their money again.
On a serious note, I’d like to know where all these non-import marked rifles are coming from. Last time I checked it was a felony to remove and import mark.

If it's anything like the previous couple they're probably all sold already.
Am sure they have sold is right heavy mech. I especially liked the glazed doughnut look of the stocks. Think more need advice from K98k forum before shelling out $1600!
It's not. No one has ever been able to source anything that says otherwise. Removing a serial is bad, an import mark is just required at import, for importing. Once it's here...

Its all about making dat money! I'm betting those rifles were all gone in the first 20 minutes they were put out.

I could only make it through the first four rifles. Just that exposure alone permanently damaged my mind. I speak “Ben” so let me translate some of what you heard.
“I’m not seeing any import markings on any of these rifles” = I ground off all the import markings myself, so sure as f__k they’re gone.
“All of these rifles have all of their serial numbers matching” = I should know they all match, I did it myself. Take my word for it!
“I’m assuming these were all professionally restored” (This was in the first 30 seconds or so, you may have missed it!) = I worked these babies over hard, they’re humped as f__k, and since this IS my profession, it’s professional.
“These all have the cartouches in the stocks” = Check our the results from the new die set I got off EBay! Big eagles OH YEAH!
Where is he getting all these rifles? Easy. Maybe these are all re-humped Mitchell’s Mausers. What’s worse that a humped rifle? One that’s been double humped.
Let’s hope he made enough to buy some freaking nail clippers and an A/C unit for his hump factory.

They have the bayonets now available for those K98's! Totally covered in cosmoline...
I like how when you go to select what manufacturer you want, it says "Wartime Nazi 3 Letter Code". The word Nazi just had to go in there.

"collectors" have a view of value & what appeals..
non-collectors, have a diff view and the two views are not the same. Sadly, honest, matched, & worn can by trumped by shiney/pimpy to the non-collectors. Of course Ben's barking suggesting these are something they are not whips the non-collectors into a lather.

Seems to be the case. So many people in Facebook groups just can't seem to wrap their minds around the fact that originality is important. So many are willing to throw $1,000+ at a gun because it is refinished and Ben says it's OK.

Agreed, I still do feel a little bad for them, and they think they have a nice collectible original rifle, albeit “professionally restored” and don’t have any idea how bad they got screwed. And in a way, what Big Ben is pushing LOOKS more like a novice might expect a “minty” rifle to look, as opposed to what a closet fresh gun does.
Again, what mainly winds my spring is the ruining of perfectly good stuff. Stocks, major and minor parts, this guy ruins EVERYTHING. But like a good snake oil salesman he sounds convincing and generates good looking guns, and he’s making a bunch of money doing it too.
