looks like a mauser with a "trench mag" on it. They had some produced by arsenals, but most were done by the troops in the field using MG-13 mags. one can be seen here.... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt ... =169799538

This was a rare WW1 era mod done to the 98 series rifle. The springfield 03 had a 25round mag like this for airplane use.The k98 mags are extremely rare to find as originals because they were field mods. Instead you find fantasy items like the one in the auction. I have seen guys try to use these for WW2 reenacting and they get be laughed at. You would think the Germans would have used up the large surplus Mg13 mags this way. It would have helped even up the fight against the garands and m1 carbine.

Tuktuk - actually looks like the mag in that photo is installed backwards.

That rifle is not a Mauser, its a Mosin. For one they are Russian troops and two looking at the bolt, it is straight

**(That rifle is not a Mauser, its a Mosin. For one they are Russian troops and two looking at the bolt, it is straight)**

not a mosin nagant - it is a model 88 german military rifle -

[tuktuk 16]

for ur consideration gens >>> thats regarding the bolt

 

 

 

 

PS im not trying to say that its a mauser k98 for sure. just wanna show that there were a lot of k98 versions produced by different countries.

and those are most probably partisans, so it is plausible for them to have german weapons.

he means the rifle with a magazine.

My mistake, I am not really familiar with other rifles with the straight bolt.

the model 88 german military rifle is based on mannlicher system , not a mauser variant -
