I figured to bring up a nice little topic to share interest in. What is your favorite code and/or date of the Mauser Kar.98ks? It may be what you have, or want to get... Heres mine in order,

1. S/42 1937 and 1938
2. S/237 1936-38
3. bsw 1939
3. bcd 1943, 1944, and 1945
4. swp 1945
5. dot 1944
6. ce 1941 and 1942
7. dou 1944
8. ax 1940 and 1941
9. svw 1945

Best Regards,

[ncreptile]

Bcd/ar 1942
bnz 44
bsw 39

 

[cdhais1986]

S codes, particularly S/42G
BSW
660 1939
bcd/ar 42
Byf (any)

My flavor changes over time. At one time byf45 was my favorite, then svw45, then dou45, then swp45. It all depends on what I am chasing?

I guess right now my favorite is bcd4, only because you find guns from all of the makers with that code

 

[FA/18]

Slant and vertical script CE
AX
BSW
K and G codes

 

[morrie419]

I'm partial to ar41

It was my first. And even though it was "frenched" I still like it.

my others are:

Amberg 1917
660 1940
duv42
dou43
byf43
byf44

I would like to add a 1939 dated rifle to the herd eventually.

OH! you mean MY 337 39 low #
LOL......
i just get whatever decent bore i can. blaze say 500 down range and sell.

 

[Diginoob]

Best for my taste.

Bnz 45, Byf45, dual code bcd/bnz, bnz43 large/small coded. Latewar examples I find with more......appeal.

Browse around with this Google ebook ''Mauser Military Rifles of the World''
By Robert W. D. Ball.

Really neat early and late examples. Vk98's,Snipers,etc etc.

I also bounce around based on current interest. I have always liked the late dou and dot/swp45 guns, my current interest is byf45. In fact, byf in general. Funny how that works. A bcd45 has been on my list forever. I have never had one, I've had most other post-44 code/dates, to include a few tough ones. Of course, the bcd45 would have to be a LSR sniper. Any late snipers are of particular interest.

Favorite 98k

Hi Guys:
I like the early ones with the walnut stocks, particularly "K"
dates. I have a non-RC S/42K but it's mismatched. I also need
a 1938 and 1939, they I'll have one for every year they were
made. It would also be nice if the 38 or 39 were Kreigsmarine
marked.
Tks,
Bob32268

1945 Dated K98k Rifles Any Code

I have owned a bnz45, dou45, and swp45. When I get the cash together I would like to own all the 1945 codes including the questionable svw/MB, as well as the Czech. dot45.

 

[Kursk]

Any code is cool but when you find one in better condition than what you already have and is affordable that automatically becomes the favorite, but bSw is mine.

 

[don w]

I like
BNZ45's
but drooling for BCD45,SWJ XE, & svw MB

 

[mowzerluvr]

ha ha ha

I like how he asks what your "favorite" is and many, to include himself ... lists several. Does not "what is your favorite" indicate .. a single answer?? Just an observation

mow.

 

[Azrael]

Favorite

Hello,

My favorite K98 is code/year ar41. It was my 2nd K98 and was totally matching. I would buy another one in a jiffy!

Regards.

 

[308nutt]

Unusual 98k

This IDF 98k has to be the most interesting I've come across. It's been through at least 4 rebuilds as a Gew98, 98b, German 98k & IDF 308 98k

 

[Kriegjager]

Steyr codes......

Mostly Steyr rifles would be my choice bnz.42,41,43 but I would also like to have a byf42.

 

[Leaf]

My Favorite is my Dot 1944
I also like BSW
AX
AR
CE
DOU

thats are the codes I am partial to

I also love any that are Late War Even if I only own 2 98ks lol
If I have chances to get more I would
