Some countries even had left-over factories that made K98's keep building them. Because of the K98's great design, many poor countries that had been defeated by the German army took K98's from the defeated enemy and issued them to their own army.
#CZECHOSLOVAKIA MAUSER GEWEHR 98 CODE#
Sometime in late 1944 / early 1945 the Waffen Werke Brunn factory changed their production code on the K-98 rifles they were producing from Dot to SWP. These were only used for a few months as the last of the German army was defeated. Highly collectible Model 98 Mauser made at the Waffen Werke Brunn factory in Czechoslovakia in 1945 under Nazi oversight and occupation. Since there were no more guns to be issued, they started taking Gewehr 98's out of the reserves and re-issuing them. The Gewehr 98 (abbreviated G98, Gew 98, or M98) is a German bolt-action rifle made by Mauser firing cartridges from a 5-round internal clip-loaded magazine.It was the German service rifle from 1898 to 1935, when it was replaced by the Karabiner 98k, a shorter weapon using the same basic design. As the war came to a close, Hitler ordered all men from 16 to 60 to go into the army. Even with this, the K98 was produced until the end of the war in 1945. The K98 was the only rifle used by the German army from 1939 to 1943, until the Germans started issuing Gewehr 43 semi-automatic rifles. By time the war started in 1939, all German soldiers had the K98, with the exception of submachine guns machine guns. Although most Gewehr 98's were put into reserve in the next 2 years, the Gewehr 98 remained with police forces and reserve units until around 1938. In 1935, the K98 entered mass production and the Gewehr 98 production stopped. Like I said earlier, the K98 is really a shorter version of a Gewehr 98. Karabiner means "carbine" in German which is another word for a shorter gun. When the Nazis came to power, they wanted a new rifle to replace the long Gewehr 98's, so they started developing a shorter rifle. It was the standard-issue rifle in World War 1. The Gewehr 98 was used from 1899 to 1936 in the German army. I Just want to say a little bit of the history on both guns. The bolt on the Gewehr 98 was straight, while th bolt on the K98 was curved down.The Gewehr 98 was about 49.2 inches long, but the K98 was about 43 inches long.Differences: The Gewehr 98 weighd about 9 lbs, when the K98 weighed about 8 lbs.It has an internal magazine for five bullets, just like the Gewehr 98.It shoots the same bullet, which is 8mm Mauser.Similarities: The K98's design is basically an updated Gewehr 98.The Karabiner 98, or K98, was produced by Mauser company from 1935 to 1945. The Mauser 98, or Gewehr 98, was a rifle produced by Mauser gun company from 1898 to 1935. First of all, Mauser made both rifles.
