	The K98k
		The K98k rifle was the primary infantry weapon of German military forces throughout the Second World War.
		Rifles of very similar design to the K98k were already in production at the two major weapon production facilities, located in the cities of Brno, in Western Czechoslovakia, and Povazská Bystrica, in Northern Slovakia.
		Beginning in 1941, the various producers of weaponry and equipment being produced for the German military machine were assigned 3 letter codes to simplify reference to these manufacturers, and to obfuscate the source of weapons and equipment for military use.

		This Shooting Clinic is intended to aid shooters, K98k enthusiasts in particular, in their quest to become more knowledgeable of data pertaining to shooting matters.
		Loading: The K98k can be either loaded one round at a time into the magazine or charged five rounds at a time from a stripper clip.
		Fortunately, the action was not damaged. Both lugs had been lapped in for full contact, and headspace gaged OK. The full contact on the lugs may have prevented failure of the action. After some barrel re-work, the gun is shooting fine.

		The K98k could also fire both explosive and armor piercing grenades by the attachment of a shot cup to the end of the rifle.
		The K98k served the Wehrmacht well, and underwent several changes during the 10 year period that it was produced.

		During the interwar period this fine design was slightly altered to became the K98k - Karbiner Kurz, or short carbine - a somewhat shorter, lighter and handier version of the original one.
		On the K98k the bolt handle was bent down, which allowed for more comfortable carrying and bolt operations.
		Bolt has a gas vent holes that are designed to move the hot gases away from the shooters face and into the magazine opening in the case of the cartridge case or primer rupture.

		It has also been suggested that these rifles were due for Yugoslavian receiver stamps but due to the onset of the Siminov and Kalishnikov design battle rifles received only enough attention to assemble them and subsequent storage as reserve surplus.
		I was very pleased to find out shortly afterards that the Serbians and Bosnians alike also used the re-arsenalled German capture K98's and thus had kept the rifle as original as I possibly could while attaching a scope.
		If you have the oportunity to buy a K98k Mauser in similar condition (whether it be from Marstar or otherwise) and you have some money available in the realm of $300.00 Cdn then I recommend you give it a go and make the purchase.

	German Bolt Action Rifles
		The Karabiner 98 kurz or K98k was the main German battle rifle of WWII and saw service on all fronts.
		The K98k saw many design changes and production shortcuts implemented in its 10 years of production; mainly due to the pressures Germany faced as the favors of war slowly turned against them.
		The S/27 in my collection is a very early gun and exhibits all early features such as a hardwood stock, finely machined parts, and most parts being serialed and proofed.

	Firearm Review, January 2001
		The K98k was to become emblematic of all the German armed services, to include the Wehrmacht (army), the Luftwaffe (air force), the Kriegsmarine (navy), and the SS (armed internal security forces).
		It is of the cup buttplate style, and the cup buttplate is of the late type with the opposed bolt disassembly holes in the lower portion of the buttplate.
		The Israeli K98k is chambered for the 7.62mm NATO cartridge and not the.308 Winchester.

	Firearm Review, May 2000
		The Karabiner 98, kurz (Model 98, short carbine) or K98k, was officially adopted as the standard shoulder weapon of a newly rearmed Germany on June 14, 1935, The adoption was published in the June 21, 1935 issue of the Allgemeine Heeresmitteilungen, the official gazette of military announcements published by the German War Ministry.
		For another, since these rifles were not captured by the Red Army, they were not refinished, or subjected to the "mix and match" parts philosophy that the Soviet armorers seemed to favor when rebuilding captured rifles.
		From the markings on the receiver ring, (S/27 over 1938), we knew that this particular K98k was one of 168,339 produced in 1938 by the Erfurter Maschinenfabrik (ERMA).

		At over eight pounds it does feel a bit heavy halfway through the day if you are used to carrying a lighter weapon, or are not used to carrying a weapon at-the-ready all day.
		The cloth 70 round badoliers of ammo on the market at this time are a very comfortable way to carry ammo for the K98k, worn over the shoulder as they were designed for.
		The K98k length Swedish Mauser is the Model 38, and the longer version or full length rifle is the Model 96.

	G43 information and statistics
		At this time it was decided not to replace the K98K already in service, as the immense costs of retooling an entire industry was vastly outweighed by the growing urgency within the Third Reich to prepare for an inevitable war.
		German semi-automatic rifle designs were also surprisingly sub-par at the time, and those who had the final say thought that a repeating rifle would lead to waste of ammunition, and a drop in accuracy by the infantryman.
		The standard cleaning kit was the same as for the K98k, the R.G. the G/K43 also stored several components inside the trap door of the buttplate.

	Late War characteristics of the K98k (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		These changes were referred to as "Kriegsmodell", or "War Model" configurations of the K98k.
		It is important to note that these changes affected not the reliability, but the manufacturability of the k98k.
		Many persistent rumors and myths attribute reliability and safety issues to late war rifles produced by the Reich, the truth is the reliability standards never suffered.

	AA Auction 6960651 (Ended 09/23/2005, 14:26:06 PST) K98k
		This auction is for a really neat K98k "42"Code 1940 restored Russian Capture, which I believe was restored by the importer.
		The blue is 99% and the stock is beautiful, the bore is excellent which is rare for an early war rifle.
		So while this K98k is not for the serious collector it is never the less a nice restoration that would be perfect for reanacting or just as a shooter.

		The “Karabiner 98 kurz”, K98k, is considered the most famous infantry rifle in world history.
		Specifically, this is a genuine wartime-contract rifle, the transitional model which includes some features from both early-war and late-war models, with the cupped buttplate, drilled bolt-takedown hole, bayonet lug, cleaning rod and front barrel-band spring (the three latter features were eliminated in late 1944).

	Mauser Karabin 98 K slings
		The original sling for the K98k has become a much sought after item, and the not-so-original slings flourish today!
		The sling was adopted at the same time as the Karabin 98K, and consisted of the actual sling, with a sewn on buckle and three teardrop shaped holes at the end.
		The K98k sling was marked in different ways, depending on the manufacturer.

		One can never say never, and there is a possiblity of the existence of a pile of orginal, new webbing slings in a remote ware-house.
		I have been talking to a German who has a large collection and he says he has only seen a webbing sling on a VG and a MP44 so that confirms my opinion.
		They were intended for use at K98k, K43, Stg44, VG and VK, but there is no proof for an approval of the slings.

		It is identical with Nazi k98k, except for the markings and caliber.
		It was a logical step to continue production of K98k rifles to utilize these left over parts.
		The rifle had all Nazi markings nicely polished off from the receiver (some collectors believe that this may indicate that the rifle was issued Israeli forces).
