Description
Here is a look at a new variant of the Mauser rifle, the Karabiner 98a.
Cool
Well technically it should be designated simply as the Karabiner 98. The 98A designation wasn't actually given to them until the 20s.
This is what Wikipedia says,
"The Karabiner 98A, adopted in February 1902, had a considerably shorter barrel than the Gewehr 98..."
As far as i understand wikipedia the "karabiner 98A" was introduced in 1902 whereas the "karabiner 98a" is basically just the name for the k98az in the 20s.
There's an old German book about German small arms called the Deutsche Waffen Journal that discusses this. The rifle you made here is not the rifle from 1902. The design you made here is from 1908. During trials, it was designated as the Kar98AZ. When it was adopted in 1908 it was simply referred to as the Kar98. In the 20s when the Weimar Republic was designing a new carbine, they decided to designate the former Kar98 as the Kar98A.
what happened to the bolt handle in the second picture?
It's the other side of the rifle.
Aaaah alright, it threw me of because the bottom image is flipped, didn't realise.
It was easier than changing the lights around, I was hoping no one would notice lol
Amazing
Will this be used by Stormtroopers, Cavalry, etc. or in addition to the Gewehr with all German forces?
What kind of soldiers use this gun?
Engineers Cavalry Commando
