This review is from: Backbone of the Whermacht German K98K Rifle, 1934-45 (Hardcover)

This book will tell you everything you want to know about the 98k. It covers everything! An awesome book, I can't imagine the time it took for all the references.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for those looking for info on this rifle, February 27, 2005

R. Montano (Northern California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Backbone of the Whermacht German K98K Rifle, 1934-45 (Hardcover)

I purchased this book and its successor. Having just finished the first volume I must say that I learned just about everything I wanted to know about this rifle. It has excellent illustrations. It gives timeline information as the rifle evolved over the years from pre war Germany right up to the end of WWII.

This is a must buy for collectors.

Now I need to read vol 2 Sniper Variations of the German K98k rifle.
