exacly its mentioned its mauser rifle or mauser hunting rifle or lightweight rifle, but does not say what model

I remember at least one book mentioning a K98.

As for the German military at the time, the standard was by and large the Mauser K98 (K for Karbiner). I think that's what they mean when they say Mauser.

You can find a nice shooter grade Mauser 98 type at Century Arms or at J.G. Sales. Have your local dealer order you one.

"Bf109 in Action Part 1" says "... provision being made for emergency desert survival equipment including a carbine." -- it doesn't say mauser, it says carbine.

But the real proof is in "Aero Detail: Messerschmitt Bf109E" where it spells it out as a Mauser Kar98k, and even shows where it's stored.

ty
i have that one
problem is its says K98 but on drawings its not look like k98

To be fair, they were concerned more with the aircraft drawings -- they might not have had a reference for the K98 so they just drew a generic outline.

I'd take the description over a vague outline, personally

98K in the manual.

The K98 is great, but as far as pure shooting is concerned, and mobility is no issue, the Mauser Gewehr 98 is the better gun. It's the full-stock version of the K98.
