KAR98K Bolt action
KAR98K Bolt action
The Kar98k model impeccably replicates the Kar98K firearm. The Karabiner 98 kurz (German: "short carbine 98"), often abbreviated to Kar98k or K98k and sometimes erroneously referred to as the K98 (which was a Polish carbine), is a bolt-action rifle chambered for the 7.9257 mm Mauser cartridge. It was adopted on 21 June 1935 as the standard service rifle of the German Wehrmacht. It stands as one of the final iterations in a long lineage of Mauser military rifles. Despite being supplemented by semi-automatic and fully-automatic rifles during World War II, it remained the primary German service rifle until the war's conclusion in 1945. Many were confiscated by the Soviets towards the end of World War II and widely distributed as military aid. Consequently, the 98k carbine continues to appear in conflicts worldwide, being brought out of storage during combat situations.
