Description:
We are pleased to bring to your attention this beautiful C&R approved Mauser 8mm GEW 98 Imperial Rifle steeped in WWI military history. Made circa 1916 in Oberndorf, Germany. The Gewehr 98 was introduced in 1898 and was the standard German military rifle from 1898 to 1935. The Gewehr 98 replaced the earlier Gewehr 1888 as the main German service rifle. The 98 featured a bolt action receiver and internal 5-round magazine fed by stripper clips. The 29” rifled barrel is chambered for the 8mm Mauser cartridge (7.92 x 57mm) using a spitzer bullet, which was a modification from the M/88 cartridge with a slightly smaller round nose bullet. The chambering was non-interchangeable, so rifles made for the new round were stamped with an “S” on the barrel behind the rear sight. The Gewher 98 originally had a walnut full stock, but walnut shortages in 1917 necessitated the use of beech wood. This example is clearly stamped WAFFENFABRIK/MAUSER A-G/OBERNDORF A/N/1917 on the top of the receiver and features the beech wood stock. Retains the cleaning rod running into the stock under the barrel. Reciever, barrel and bolt are matching with a few of the small parts not matching but period correct original replacement parts. The rifle has a very nice well above average bore. This is a Vet bring-back from the trenches of WW1 With NO IMPORT MARKINGS. The photos say it far better than I can describe. Check it out and give me a call if you have any questions 931-303-6739
