More then 14,000,000 rifles were to be produced between 19 by the nine factories and it was the most produced Mauser rifle since! A less drastic example of simplification was the kriegsmodell which merely removed or simplified features of the K98 such as removing the bayonet lug. This became the Volkssturmkarabiner 98 or VK-98. Later in the war, the Germans needed a weapon that could be produced more quickly for the Volkssturm. One exception is the Polish resistance which use the K98 and other captured weapons during the Warsaw Uprising. Ingame the weapon is used by German riflemen, engineers and tankhunters either equipped with a type of Panzerfaust, Molotov Cocktail or Geballte Ladung. Ingame the rifle has multiple accesories such as two scopes, a silencer, though the only instance with two at once is with an low-power optic and silencer. It was shorter, had a stepped barrel like the G98, a side postioned sling, a compact turned down bolt handle, a wide lower band and a tanged leaf rear sight. This weapon was the 3rd carbine version of the WW1 Mauser rifle, the Mauser Gewehr 98 or G98.
It was designated as a carbine (Karabiner) but it was in actuality a short rifle. The Mauser Karabiner 98 kurz (often abbreviated as Kar98k, K98, or K98k) was the German standard handweapon of the infantry. Comes with an original cleaning rod.Unknown High Power Scope type from Bf1942/FH (see pic) The rifling in the bore is nice with very minor pin-pricking in the grooves. The stock is in decent condition with noticeable dings, dents, and scratches throughout. One small spot of surface rust on the butt plate. There is spotty oxidation and discoloration on most of the metal parts - not so apparent on the receiver. There are areas of noticeable wear on the barrel bands, floor plate, and trigger guard. Overall, the gun is in very nice condition. These rifles were retired from military service and re-issued for use in training police forces, paramilitary groups, and their equivalent to high school ROTC organizations. All of these characteristics indicate this example is a "school gun". There are two circles defacing the mum, an added Japanese character between the mum and model designation, and two zeros "00" in front of the serial number. The gun is all matching (except for the firing pin, which is un-numbered) and has a mostly-intact mum stamp on the receiver. 1/19/22 - This is a very nice example of a Japanese Type 38 rifle.
