At the end of the website I will list the best books on the subject, though only Dieter Storz book is entirely dedicated to the subject. Dieter Storz “Rifle & Carbine 98, M98 Firearms of the German Army from 1898 to 1918”. In the last 10 years a good number of books have come out that cover the Imperial era Gewehr98 rifle and its short carbine variation, the Kar.98a, the best known being Dr. The numerous books that discussed the variations did so in passing usually, none specialized on the variations, and few dealt with the manufacturers, which is the best place to start if you want to understand the rifles. The value of the early research was inconsistent, most of the best information was found on-line among a small group of specialist that had formed internet forums on German rifle development, Gunboards in particular. Since the time the Gewehr98 became popular with collectors, around 15 years ago, a great deal has been written regarding the history and variations that make up the rifle designation. I will answer questions about your rifle and in exchange I will use the information to further my research.
