==Mauser 98 ==
The Mauser 98 action incorporates two large locking lugs at the front of its one-piece bolt and a safety lug at the rear. It cocks its one-piece firing pin on opening and provides plenty of camming action to remove recalcitrant cases. The full length extractor takes a very large bite on the case rim and provided controlled feeding, and a fixed ejector kicks out the fired case when the bolt is fully withdrawn. There is a bolt guide to control bolt wobble as the action is operated. Two large gas relief ports on the underside of the bolt vent escaping gas into the magazine box, and a large flange at the back of the bolt deflects escaping gas away from the shooter's face in the event of a blown primer or burst case. The trigger guard, bottom iron, and magazine box are machined from one piece of steel. The Mauser 98 has an inherently fast lock time.

No more reliable bolt action rifle has ever been invented. Almost all modern bolt action rifles are based on Mauser 98 principles, and subsequent "improvements" to the Model 98 action seem to invariably be in the area of cutting production costs, not making a superior action.

The vaunted M1903 A3 Springfield rifle used by U.S. troops in WW I and to an extent in WW II, was one of the better "improved" Mausers, and yet was inferior to the original in several ways. For instance, the Springfield is not as strong as the Mauser 98, does not handle escaping gas as well, has a slower lock time, and uses a weaker two-piece firing pin. The Mauser 98 is the King of bolt action rifles; long live the King!

The M48 Mauser is a post World War II Yugoslavian version of the German Mauser K98k. Although similar in general appearance to that of the German rifle, many of the parts of these two rifles are not interchangeable, such as the bolt. The main difference between the M48 and the K98k is that the M48 uses an intermediate-length receiver. They are usually easily identified by the top handguard which extends behind the rear sight, and ends just in front of the receiver ring although this feature exists on other models as well. M48's are regarded as a military surplus firearm and can be collected in the US at a generally cheap price due to the numbers recently imported from Europe.

Karabiner 98k

==mauser k98k bolt-action rifle ==
Of all the world's military rifles, the Mauser 98 is probably the best action for use in a high quality sporting rifle. Custom gunsmiths have used thousands of surplus military Model 98 actions as the basis of bespoke rifles, a suitable testimony to the quality and desirable features of this ultimate bolt action. The Model 1898 was Paul Mauser's fully developed bolt action rifle design, incorporating all of the improvements gained through his long experience with the type.

The Model 98 was Germany's main battle rifle through both World Wars and also served a number of other countries. The standard German chambering was the 8x57JS cartridge, which drove a .323", 150 grain spitzer bullet at a MV of 2800 fps, ballistics that compared very favorably with all other battle cartridges of the time, and are still impressive today. I have never heard anyone complain about the long range stopping power of the 8x57JS cartridge!

The Mauser 98 action incorporates two large locking lugs at the front of its one-piece bolt and a safety lug at the rear. It cocks its one-piece firing pin on opening and provides plenty of camming action to remove recalcitrant cases. The full length extractor takes a very large bite on the case rim and provided controlled feeding, and a fixed ejector kicks out the fired case when the bolt is fully withdrawn. There is a bolt guide to control bolt wobble as the action is operated. Two large gas relief ports on the underside of the bolt vent escaping gas into the magazine box, and a large flange at the back of the bolt deflects escaping gas away from the shooter's face in the event of a blown primer or burst case. The trigger guard, bottom iron, and magazine box are machined from one piece of steel. The Mauser 98 has an inherently fast lock time.

No more reliable bolt action rifle has ever been invented. Almost all modern bolt action rifles are based on Mauser 98 principles, and subsequent "improvements" to the Model 98 action seem to invariably be in the area of cutting production costs, not making a superior action.

The vaunted M1903 A3 Springfield rifle used by U.S. troops in WW I and to an extent in WW II, was one of the better "improved" Mausers, and yet was inferior to the original in several ways. For instance, the Springfield is not as strong as the Mauser 98, does not handle escaping gas as well, has a slower lock time, and uses a weaker two-piece firing pin. The Mauser 98 is the King of bolt action rifles; long live the King!
