A cross stamped on the receiver of a German Mauser K98k means that it was a Russian Capture rifle.
i sold a nice one to a collector for $500 last year, it was very clean.
The most common rifle in WWI would have been: * the Russion 7.62R Mosin Nagant Model 91; * the British and Commonwealth .303 Lee Enfield No.1 MK III; * the German 7.92 mm Gew98 (later shortened and designated the 98K) Mauser; * the French 8x50R Berthier and Lebel rifles (both used in huge quantities); * the Italian 6.5mm Carcano; * the Austrian 8x50R Steyr-Mannlicher M1895; and, * the American 30.06 Springfield (M1903) and P17 Enfield. Additonally, both some South African troops in central Africa and Portugese troops in both Africa and Europe used the 7 mm Mauser, typically in the Gew88 pattern.

Allies: M1 Garand, Thompson sub machine gun Axis: Kar 98K, Mp40
The MP40 or Machine Pistol had a low rate of fire, was very light but also pact a heavy punch. This is what made it the primary gun for the Axis force in world war II.It is closely compared with the Thompson or 'Tommy' Gun used for the allied forces. More information can be found at:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP40The primary infantry rifle was the Mauser 8mm rifle. The MP40 was nothing like the US Thompson. Rate of fire was much higher for the German machine-pistol. Cartridge size was similar: 9mm Lugar vs .45 caliber Colt.Mauser
WW2 ended in 1945. The AK47 was introduced in 1947, hence it's name. No. The '47' in the name indicates that the weapon was introduced in 1947. It was developed by Mikhail Kalashnikov of the Soviet Union. The assault weapon used during the Holocaust was the MP-40 machine pistol, or 'Schmeisser' as called by most Americans. The Germans issued about one million of these weapons, initially to paratroopers and squad leaders, but later to whole platoons. Most German soldiers were issued plain and dull Mauser Karabiner 98k kurz rifles. 14 million of these weapons were put into service. They were simple, straight, bolt-action rifles. These aren't usually depicted in films because they look too ordinary. The Sturmgewehr (StG 44) was introduced before the end of the war and had a passing resemblance to the Kalashnikov weapon. 425,000 of these were built and issued before the end of the war.
Yep- there are airsoft versions of the Mauser 98K, licensed by Mauser- gas and spring versions. Google search for Mauser 98 airsoft. Hobbytron has a spring version for $119.
The Mauser es340b was a single shot .22 long rifle. It was made too look and feel like a Mauser 98K. It is not a sniper rifle. It is a target rifle.
10-5000 USD depending on specifics
Not every single mauser bolt is interchangable, but most bolts for a single model will be. For example, most bolts from the millions of WWII era kar-98k's are interchangable but will not be interchangable will a modern mauser hunting rifle or a modern rifle based off of the mauser action.
Your Mauser model 98K rifle will accept and shoot the 8mm Mauser cartridge.For your own information,the letter code of SVW45 indicates that your German Mauser world war II rifle was made by Mauser Werke A.G. Obendorf-am-Necker in the last year of the War 1945.I hope that you enjoy your rifle as much as I do mine!I shoot mine at least once a month during the summer months.
First, it is a Mauser, not mouser. Value of any gun is based on exact make, model and condition. There were several different versions of the Mauser, and condition can range from Excellent to Junk. Perhaps the most common, a Mauser 98K in good condition would be worth $250-$350.

Only ONE cartridge at a time can be chambered (loaded into the chamber, ready to fire). The internal magazine holds 5 cartridges- waiting to be chambered.

It depends if the parts are all original, if it is beat up and if it was ever restored. Normally, collectors don't like restored guns. It also depends on the person you're selling it to.
Your Mauser model 98K should have a series of numbers on the top of the receiver ring such as 137 and below 1938 etc.if it is a early rifle.After 1940 these were marked with a series of letters on top and the last 2 digits of the year of production,such as byf then 41.A appraisal cannot be done without you providing a detailed description of the rifles overall condition including the bore,and if all numbers match on the parts of the rifle or not.
