Even today, the Kar 98k can be found in the hands of insurgents, militia or second-line government troops, from Ukraine to Syria. It remains one of the most widely used infantry weapons since it became the standard service rifle of the Wehrmacht in June of 1935.
Many consider it to be the finest bolt-action rifle ever built. The Mauser Kar 98k is one of the most recognizable battle rifles of all time. The German Gewehr 98k infantry rifle was a capable and refined military bolt-action rifle design. During World War II, on the battlefields of Western Europe, Italy and North Africa, the American M1 Garand rifle faced off against the German Mauser “Karabiner 98 kurz” (Kar 98k) in a bloody fight to the finish between two worthy opponents. The infantry battles of the 20 th century pitted many classic firearms against each other.
