World War II THIRD REICH German STEYR “bnz./41” Code K98 MILITARY Rifle C&R
GERMAN OCCUPATION 1941 Third Reich MAUSER Rifle
Here we present a C&R Third Reich German Waffenfabrik Steyr “bnz./41” Code K98 Mauser Rifle manufactured in 1941 in Steyr, Austria. The forced Union between Austria and Germany in 1938 provided Hitler's Third Reich with the huge small arms and vehicle plants at Steyr and the heavy weapons factories at Skoda. These two industrial complexes nearly doubled Germany’s available weapons production facilities. Steyr produced nearly 1,000,000 K98k rifles between 1938 and May of 1945 as well as hundreds of thousands of Radom pistols, MP-40's, MG-42's, tank chassis, trucks, and tiger tank turrets. During the war Steyr only used two manufacturing codes, which were “660” and “bnz”. Waffenamt “623” was used for parts made at Steyr and Waffenamt “77” was used for parts made at Radom under Steyr supervision. Steyr was one of only two manufacturers of K98k rifles who put a period after their code on the receivers they made (“bnz.”). This was discontinued mid-1944. While Steyr made K98k's for all three branches of the German military, they were also the sole K98k contractor for the SS.
In 1898 the German Army purchased a Mauser design, the Model 98, which incorporated improvements introduced in earlier models. The weapon was originally chambered for the Patrone 88 and officially entered German service as the Gew. 98 on April 5, 1898. This remains by far the most successful of the Mauser designs, helped by the onset of two world wars that demanded vast numbers of rifles.
The overall condition is good. The stock shows expected wear and remains solid. Mostly bright bore with good rifling. Robust action. Gray patina throughout the metal components. Serial numbers on the receiver and barrel are obfuscated while other markings remain legible. Collectors’ markings on the triggerguard.
