Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Karabiner 98 Kurz is a bolt-action rifle that uses the 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge. It was adopted as the standard service rifle by the German Wehrmacht on June 21, 1935. The rifle is commonly abbreviated as Karabiner 98k or Kar98k and is often mistakenly referred to as a K98, which is actually a Polish carbine and a copy of the Kar98a. The Karabiner 98k was one of the final developments in the long line of Mauser military rifles.
During World War II, the Karabiner 98k was supplemented by semi-automatic and fully automatic rifles, but it remained the primary German service rifle until the end of the war in 1945. Following the conclusion of World War II, millions of Karabiner 98k rifles were captured by the Soviets and widely distributed as military aid. As a result, the rifle continues to appear in conflicts across the world as they are taken out of storage during times of strife.
In 1939 the OKW supposedly initiated a directive to start a sniper program. The turret sniper was the result of this program. Prior to this, only commercial mounting systems, such as the short side rail and objective mount, were used as sniper rifles. The turret system was the first scope mounting system that was specifically designed for the K98k. The designation for this new sniper system was the Zf.39. It seems clear that the development of this new system was done at Mauser Werke A.G. Oberndorf.
