Mauser Kar98k

The Mauser Kar98k, short for Karabiner 98 kurz is a battle rifle produced by Germany around the World War II era. It was noted for its strong, reliable bolt action and its accuracy.

It evolved from the longer Kar98 which had origins before the first World War. It had a shortened barrel and simplified sights making it more suitable for modern battle.
