Is there any reason to get a Mauser 98 when I can get a Kar98k?

The Kar98k is just a carbine based on the Mauser 98 action.
"Mauser 98" is the design, not a rifle itself.
Do you mean G98, the Gewehr 98?

Why would you want a kar98k when you could get an M48 for far cheaper?

Mauser is a much more reliable brand than Kar.

I hope this is a joke

Yea but Gewehr is peak german engineering. Mauser was always playing catchup.

Because the M48 is Yugoshit
It really depends what you're looking for. Do you want an older rifle with more history behind it or do you want people to think you're a tard that goes on about "Da joos" all day? Just kidding, they're both fine rifles.

Nigger what the fuck are you even doing?

M48 IS a kar98k faggot. Its a german manufactured gun. Made in germany, with german parts, before or during the war. After they were captured by the yugos, markings were removed and replaced with new ones.

Russian detected.

y tho?
isn't 8MM unobtainium in 2018?

Not at all

go on?

Yea nigga, explain, my vz 24 hungers.

No.

>Yea nigga, explain, my vz 24 hungers.

4 real. Haven't fired my Turkrifle since the surp dried up a few years ago

Please feel free to call me a gigantic faggot for asking, but I need a replacement bolt for a M48 BO that I inherited a few months ago. Is there going to be any difference between bolts for k98 pattern rifles, or is it all pretty much the same shit? I don't want to bother dropping a hundo and not being able to actually put rounds through the gun.

I find tons of surp 8mm for my k98 AND plenty of PPU 8mm just about everywhere. You aint lookin hard enough

I believe the M48 bolt is a bit shorter than the K98's, so it's not interchangable

The reason to get any of them, is having an interest in history.

So, are you interested in WW1 history? Get a Gewehr 98.
WW2? Get a K98k.

Just want a gun from either war, because you already have a gun from both wars? Get the cheaper, or get the older one, depending on your priorities.

K98k bolts are larger, and do not fit

Thanks mate. I'll try and make sure I'm buying an M48 bolt, then.

>relies on surplus
The gun IS surplus.

I've got like 60 rds of PPU soft points I picked up for like .75/round which is super reasonable for hunting. I guess my complaint is 8mm is expensive. LOL
