Rifles Mauser K98, cal. 8 x 57

In June 1934, the German army adopted the Mauser 98 Karbiner as the standard rifle of the German army. It was used until the end of the war - in May 1945. For 11 years more than 14 million units were produced, and out of the 14 million units produced there are more than 100 combinations of made guns. This makes the Mauser K98 one of the best guns with a great collectors' value for gun collectors of WW2 and perhaps of all time.

Information about the manufacturers

In 1934 only two manufacturers were authorized to manufacture the K98. The factory for the Mauser Oberndorf and the company JP Sauer & Sohn in Suhl. After 1934 the Mauser company Oberndorf was the only one manufacturing K98 rifles. Each subsequent year, other manufacturers were joining in, while some stopped manufacturing the gun and began to deal with the production of other guns such as machine guns, automatic pistols and other handguns that were necessary. In 1943, there were already at least seven factories that were manufacturing this rifle. Each manufacturer had their own technology.
