{{Hebiquote
|quotetext='''The''' Mauser rifle, the ur-example of a traditional bolt-action rifle done right according to many enthusiasts, the star feature of the Kar98k is the smooth yet rock-solid Mauser action, long considered to be the gold standard of bolt-action systems. Though it is a product of its time and therefore isn't exactly the most modern or the most modular, the kind of respect that a 7.92x57mm rifle commands is the reason enthusiasts swear by this old faithful.

The '''Mauser Karabiner 98k''' (often shortened to '''Kar98''' or '''Kar98k''', also simply called '''Mauser''') is a [[7.92x57mm Mauser]] conventional rifle.

== [[Maze Customs]] ==
This weapon can receive the following minor customization services:
* '''Kar98k NATO''' and '''Kar98k SAR'''
* '''Kar98k Trench'''
** Combinations: '''Kar98k NATO Trench''', '''Kar98k SAR Trench'''

=== Kar98k NATO ===
''Like the Karabiner 98k or the Mauser action but wish it was in a slightly more common caliber? With this conversion, your classic rifle can now use [[7.62x51mm NATO]]. Now, when people try to correct you after saying it's ".30 caliber", you can correct them right back. As a bonus, this mod is compatible with the stripper clip for the [[Ishapore 2A1]].''

Cost: [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''300'''

Modifications:
* Caliber: Becomes [[7.62x51mm NATO]].

=== Kar98k SAR ===
''You must be a weirdo who really enjoys 7.92mm Kurz.''

Cost: [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''300'''

Modifications:
* Caliber: Becomes [[7.92x33mm Kurz]].

=== Kar98k Trench ===
''This modification removes the original floorplate, and installs a large internal magazine body, spring, and floorplate, extending the capacity from 5 rounds to 25 rounds. This is still a non-detachable magazine; you will still need loose rounds or stripper clips to reload it. Don't bust your thumbs!''

Cost: [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''400'''

Modifications:
* Feeding system: Becomes '''25-round internal magazine'''.

=== Kar98k NATO Trench ===
''This modification turns your Karabiner 98k into a 25-shot .308 bolt-action rifle. People will think you're crazy. But they don't have a 25-shot .308 bolt-action rifle. Like the original Kar98k NATO modification, this is compatible with the Ishapore stripper clips.''

This is a '''two-step''' modification from the original weapon, which combines the effects of the '''Kar98k NATO''' and '''Kar98k Trench''' conversions.

Cost: [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''700'''
