A nice example will be priced at around $350. The Russians loved to electropencil non-matching parts as if they were matched and would mark each capture with an “X” mark on the receiver. 8x57 jrs (8mm mauser) 98k german mauser k98 'military marked' bolt action sniper rifle 8mm 24 inch ' barrel mechanicsville, va 23116: used: : 1,300.00 : 8x57 jrs (8mm mauser) mitchell’s mauser k98k byf 1942 ww2 nazi 24 inch ' barrel evans, wv 25241: new old stock: : 1,200.00 : 8x57 jrs (8mm mauser) k98 mitchells mauser bcd. The Russians “refurbished” these captured rifles after the war re-bluing the metal and refinishing the wood with a kind of deeply stained shellac. A Russian capture is the most commonly commercially available K-98k in the United States. The example shown here is a Russian capture K-98k. After the war, these rifles ended up in the arsenals of many nations giving rise to many interesting varieties and variations which are too numerous for treatment here. This rifle became the main German battle rifle of World War II, and was exported by the Germans to several other countries. California sales are OK with proper dealer/state authorization (we are registered with the California DoJ). No sales outside of the United States or to Chicago, New York, or New Jersey-sorry. I just wish it was a little cheaper.The K-98k is a bolt action rifle that was built on the Model 98 system in the 8mm Mauser caliber. TERMS: All firearms are sold in compliance with all federal, state and local laws. Decided to keep this magazine though as it really does look good on my G98.

I called KS about this and they were great about updating the information for other customers and offered a full refund if I wanted one. Not sure if I would have bought this if I knew it only worked in the Gewehr 98. Since it feeds all 20 fine, I'm sure it will feed the last five too. I did not try 25 rounds because I had to make up the dummy rounds and didn't really see the point in doing 5 more. I was able to also load and cycle 20 rounds of dummy ammo without any problems. This magazine does snap into my Gewehr 98 marked receiver Russian Capture just fine.

I'm sure I could open up the magazine a bit, but I would expect feeding problems as this is not going to be held in the receiver correctly. German WWII Dismounted Leather 98/05 Bayonet Frog, Kriegsmarine Proofed. German WWII S84/98 Bayonet, 44 ffc, Matching, Very Clean. To get 98& of the experience of a a German Imperial Mauser, find a Peruvian model of 1909. German WWII S84/98 Bayonet & Scabbard, Matching 44 ffc, K98 Mauser Stocks & Accessories. Consider this: an Imperial 98 Mauser might cost you 3000+ for a decent example that frankly has thousands of rounds down the pipe but at least isnt rusted over or reworked 5 ways from Sunday. I have a few K98K's and this magazine does not lock into place on any of them, the pin that locks the magazine in place is off by a few fractions of an inch. They also cost a fraction of the price of a K98. Apparently there has never been a K98K specific trench magazine, only modified versions of this magazine to fit them to each individual K98K. Purchased this magazine thinking it would work on a K98K, but it is actually designed to work on a G98. Gives an interesting look to your Mauser that will sure get comments. Overall, a quality piece of equipment that is well worth the money (although being less expensive would only add to the desirability). The upper body of the magazine will almost definitely need to be modified to fit the rifle perfectly (especially if the wood of the stock is not level with the metal), but shouldn't be too massive a chore. Something else to note is that the magazine body is 1.05" (26.54mm) wide at the front, and 1.12" (28.34mm) at the rear (1.31"/33.25mm with the lug bracket wrapping around the back). It fits a VZ24 as-is, but cannot be modified to fit an M48 (I tried).

The dimension from the underside of the front lug to the back of the rear lug is 3.799" (96.26mm), a VZ24 has 3.787" (96.18mm), and an M48 has 3.670" (93.21mm) respectively. To note: this will fit in a Czech VZ24 but not a Yugo M48. This one was made the year Hitler came to power in Germany. This gun was ordered for and issued to the 'Deutches Reich Post' or German Postal Service during the Weimar period of German history. The follower spring is plenty long and strong for reliable feeding. 1/6/21 - This is an excellent example of a DRP-marked Mauser K98, manufactured in 1933.
