Mauser, originally Königliche Waffen Schmieden, is a German arms manufacturer.Their line of bolt-action rifles and semi-automatic pistols has been produced since the 1870s for the German armed forces. It happened to be that my rifle is amongst the very first 1000 rifles ever manufactured by Steyr itself numbering in the low 900's.
1939 german mauser rifle 12 660 code#
In late 1939 660/Steyr ( German ) made only 20,000 K98 rifles under that code before the code changed in 1940. The Gewehr 98 (abbreviated G98, Gew 98 or M98) is a German bolt-action Mauser rifle firing cartridges from a 5-round internal clip-loaded magazine that was the German service rifle from 1898 to 1935, when it was replaced by the Karabiner 98k, a shorter weapon using the same basic design. What you should know about the 660 code is that it is a rare code as K98's go. 8mm Mauser is the American name for 7.92x57mm IS. The Ottomans originally chambered their Mausers in 7.65x53 Mauser, but during WWI they started using more and more Imperial German weapons and ammo and eventually switched all their rifles to 8mm Mauser.
