"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." |

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.
Modifications:
- Caliber: Becomes 7.62x51mm NATO.
Kar98k SAR
You must be a weirdo who really enjoys 7.92mm Kurz.
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!
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.
Modifications:
- Caliber: Becomes 7.62x51mm NATO.
- Feeding system: Becomes 25-round internal magazine.
Kar98k SAR Trench
Okay, now you're being really weird. You couldn't have just bought a StG-44?...
This is a two-step modification from the original weapon, which combines the effects of the Kar98k SAR and Kar98k Trench conversions.
Modifications:
- Caliber: Becomes 7.92x33mm Kurz.
- Feeding system: Becomes 25-round internal magazine.
