Karabiner 98k (1934-1945), K98k als Scharfschützenwaffe

Summary of the books “Karabiner 98k” and “Der K98 als Scharfützenwaffe”.

The Karabiner, officially called the “Mauser Model 98”, was probably the most important German repeating rifle, manufactured since 1898.

One of the best-known variants is the 98k with shortened barrel, which was the standard weapon of the German army for many years.

With its breech-loading system, the Mauser carbine was one of the most widely produced weapons in the world.

In this edition, the author describes the history of the musket and its best-known variant, the sniper rifle version, as well as other variants and their use both in Germany and in other parts of the world.
