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 (http://www.centuryarms.com) or at J.G. Sales (http://www.jgsales.com/product_info.php/p/yugoslavian-24-47-mauser-rifle%2C-8mm-/products_id/1334). Have your local dealer order you one.

My regards,

"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.

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 :aok

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.
