Mauser Rifles, Vol. 2: 1918-1945: G.98, K.98b, "Standard-Modell," K.98k, Sniper, Markings, Ammunition, Accessories

This book delves into the design, manufacturing, development, and combat use of various Mauser rifle models from 1918 through World War II. Following World War I, manufacturers shaped the future German standard-issue rifle by refining the WWI-era Gewehr 98. With the Nazi rise to power, the improved version of the Gewehr 98 was officially adopted in 1934 as the "K98k."

The book explores the evolution of this iconic rifle, detailing the modifications made during World War II to meet the demands of mass production and combat. Key features include:

• Close-up views of markings
• Comprehensive serial number lists
• Detailed visual breakdowns of the rifles
• Accessories such as ammunition, pouches, bayonets, magazines, scopes, and cleaning kits
• Rarely seen combat-related uniforms and equipment

This fully illustrated, full-color volume is the second in a series on Mauser rifles. Written by Luc Guillou, an expert in historical and modern weaponry and editor for REGI ARM publishing in Paris, it provides an authoritative look at one of the most famous firearms in history.
