Deactivated WWII Nazi Kriegsmodell K98

The Kriegsmodell K98 was introduced late on during WWII. Its basically a simplified version of the K98. To help speed up production various parts and items were simplified or just eliminated, such as the bayonet lug, cleaning rod, bolt disassembly disk, bolt guide, barrel band spring, and even the locking screws for the floor plate. The Kriegsmodell K98s were produced in late 1944 and 1945. Often they were rough machined with mismatched parts, the aim being to make as many serviceable carbines as quickly as possible. This example is correctly marked dou 45 (Waffen Werke,Brunn Bystrica 1945). Note they haven't even bothered marking the receiver "Mod 98" and the rear sight is unfinished. This carbine has just one serial number and a complete lack of Nazi Waffen codes. One of the rarer K98s as not many were made. They were issued to German units as well as the German Volksstrum (Peoples Militia) or Germany's version of the British Home Guard. Hilter's last ditched war effort in arming the people to defend Germany against Allied forces as they advanced towards Berlin. A very interesting rifle. Comes fitted with an original WWII sling marked L&F (Linden & Funke KG, Iserlohn). Deactivated with a working action it can be coked, stripped and dry fired.
