It's actually called Kar98k and not K98k, because the Great K alone stands in the Wehrmacht for Kanone (Canon), The Problem had the MKB 42, firstly it was called MP 42 but duo to the Caliber it was renamed to Karabiner 42 and make the mistake to use K42, so they renamed it again to Maschinenkarabiner 42, firstly as MK42 and than MKB42.

The Garbage Root. The Mauser 98 System is better, The Saftey, the Strip ejector, The bolt that consists of only one piece, the faster repeating, the quality (especially the pre-war models before the 2nd World War), the magazine which is smaller than the Mosin, this is due to the miserable rim cartridge that the Mosin fires. The only thing the Mosin is good for is the low price. Try to change my Mind.

I feel like my sling is a little longer than some. I followed this video and a few others to the exact details, and I still can’t tighten mine all the way like that. The only way I can get it right is if I take the short strap forks and extend them over and passed the long strap forks and into some of the further holes, which in my case seems to be the ones that are literally on the loop of strap coming out of the front sling swivel.
@HistoryinFirearms5 күн бұрын
There are definitely some variations in the slings that are out there and available.
@stevenrodriguez96555 күн бұрын
@@HistoryinFirearms I was finally able to get it somewhat right, I had to take the hooks on the long strap passed the keeper and into the last two available holes, just after the sling swivel near the front of the rifle. Then the short strap hooks into the last two available holes on the long strap. It’s not quite as tight as I’d like it, but it’s the best I can do with what I have. For a 1943 rifle, do you know if this leather M1907 sling is correct for the time period? Or wouldn’t webbing sling be correct.

Nice job on the video overall. However, you said that "The ATF did not require import marks until 1986". This is incorrect, the addition of import marks was required by the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968, the idea being that the ATF could go to a manufacturer with a serial number and trace the gun down through sales to the end purchaser. So that is 18 years earlier. This is specified in Section 923(i) of the GCA 1968. There is a readable summary here: www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/08/03/01-19418/identification-markings-placed-on-firearms-98r-341p
