But that&#8217;s how accuracy testing at the factory went. At least for the No.4; Mauser 98k&#8217;s actually got 2 attempts to pass (and the group shot in this video with an old rifle was almost good enough to have passed first time under worse conditions than the official test)&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>ALSO NOTE: this was filmed ages ago. I&#8217;ve now fixed the extractor, but the basic point still stands. There&#8217;s massive variation in extractors, some of which will always clip over a rim, some will if you push on the extractor spring, and some won&#8217;t at all. This was something the Yugoslavs fixed with the M48, to ensure they all would. Part of what I like to do with BotR is the process of learning about working with certain rifles.<\/p>\n<p>Patreon: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/BlokeOnTheRange\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/BlokeOnTheRange<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Blokeontherange\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Blokeontherange\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of an ongoing series comparing each aspect of the design and use of the last of the WW2 mainstream Lee-Enfield rifles (No. 4 Mk.1* in .303 British) and of the Mauser rifles (Kar98k in 7.92x57mm), here we take a look at basic accuracy off the bench, and make some comments on the sights.&hellip;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/surplused.com\/index.php\/2017\/07\/13\/mauser-kar98k-vs-lee-enfield-no-4-accuracy\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Read More &raquo;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Mauser Kar98k vs Lee-Enfield No.4: Accuracy<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":2175,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[89,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-content","category-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/surplused.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2174","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/surplused.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/surplused.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/surplused.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/surplused.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2174"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/surplused.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2174\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14793,"href":"https:\/\/surplused.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2174\/revisions\/14793"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/surplused.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/surplused.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/surplused.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2174"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/surplused.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
