Mauser Kar98k

[Douros81]

I found a clean Kar98k in a store and I'm going to be picking it up next week. Its a J.P.Sauer made in 1941, its clean, has a site hood and cap screws. I need a sling and cleaning rod for it, what/where is the best place to pick one up at. p-)

Where is the best place to find info about the Kar98k?
thanks p-)

I'll have a friend for Yugo M48A

What type of info are you looking for? Just general specs and history - try google there is a wealth of information available.
IE. : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karabiner_98k

For the sling, just search around hunting stores or online for a good leather sling, that's what I had on my Mauser and it fit well and also looked good too.

In terms of a cleaning rod, I had spare 7.62 nato rods, and just used a larger patch. As for a bore-brush; again just search online or at hunting supply stores for an 8mm or 7.92

This is the 98k forum above all other bunk. Be there or be square on 98k's of the 33-45 era.

That should be a good buy, a 1941 K98k should be as good as a pre-war one, quality didnt drop untill fairly late in the war.
