The joined rods from 3 rifles provided one full-length cleaning rod. Each rifle was furnished with a short length of cleaning rod, fitted through the bayonet stud. Its internal magazine could be loaded with five 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridges from a stripper clip or one-by-one. The Karabiner 98k is a controlled-feed bolt-action rifle based on the Mauser M98 system. The 98k was so effective, Adolf Hitler would later deem it his personal favorite rifle, even more so than the StG-44, a rifle which he named. Although supplemented by semi- and fully automatic rifles during World War II, it remained the primary German service rifle until the end of World War II in 1945.
It was one of the final developments in the long line of Mauser military rifles. The K98 was adopted on 21 June 1935 as the standard service rifle by the German Wehrmacht. Aside from these changes, the 98k was basically just a shorter Gewehr 98. It was a shortened, improved and cheaper version of the Gewehr 98, the original service rifle of the German army. The Kar98k basically uses the same design as the Gewehr 98, but is a shortened carbine with more ergonomic features, like a sling hole through the stock, a bent bolt handle for easier rapid firing, a groove in the wood under the bolt for easier working of the bolt, simpler and cheaper rear sights, a sight hood to protect the front sight and a cupped buttplate. The Germans stuck with the Mauser 98 when they fought in WWII, mainly due to WWI veteran Adolf Hitler's preference, because there were more modern weapons developments being experimented with at the time.
It was developed after the Gewehr 98 design full-length bolt action rifle that the German Empire used in World War I.
