| | Karabiner 98 - TFRWiki |
 | | While the Karabiner 98k is arguably the best-known of the Gewehr 98's carbine line (despite being a full-fledged service rifle), the Karabiner 98 line of rifles has its own interesting, albeit flawed, history. |
 | | The Mauser Karabiner 98 (or K98) originally started life in 1900 as the Imperial German Army requested that a carbine modification of the Gewehr 98 be produced for the Uhlan (Cavalry troops). |
 | | The Karabiner 98 differed from its bigger brother, the Gewehr 98, in several different areas: The Karabiner 98 had a new turned-down spatulate bolt handle, a smaller-scaled Lange-Vizier (Curved ladder sight), a new one-piece hand-guard that extended from the breech to the nose-cap, and butt-mounted side sling mount. |
