Karabiner 98k made in Czechoslovakia (aka Czech Mauser)- 7.92x57mm Mauser

If you are going to include "National" variants, you are going to have a very long list. Look at a copy of W. D. Ball's book "Military Mauser Rifles of the world" and you will see there is hardly a country that didn't make or use a Mauser rifle at some point in the last 120 years. After WW1, Mauser tooling was given to countries in war reparations and these countries started making their own variants (Belgium, Poland, Czechoslovakia, among others). Others bought the tooling from Mauser and this was set up with German assistance (China and Yugoslavia). The Czech Mauser Rifles are highly regarded for their quality. The Yugoslav M48s are popular because most were placed into storage unused, so they are effectively brand new. Wraith
