Since the new IS cartridge had a flatter trajectory the Lange Visier rear sight also had to be changed with an "S" adapted Lange Visier. Post 1905 Gewehr 98 rifles also had a "S" rollmark indicating that the new improved ammunition can be safely used. This was done since the 1888 pattern M/88 cartridge and 1905 S-bore pattern cartridge are two different non interchangeable chamberings. The ammunition conversion was indicated by a small "S" stamped above the chamber and on the barrel at the back of the rear sight base. The introduction of this new service ammunition offered improved accuracy and a flatter trajectory at the price that the existing military Gewehr 98 rifle stock had to be rechambered and rebarreled. In 1905, after a service period of 17 years, the 8 mm M/88 cartridge which was introduced in 1888 and loaded with a 8.08 mm (.318 in) diameter 14.6 g (226 gr) round nose bullet was replaced by the 8x57mm IS/7.92×57mm Mauser service cartridge which was loaded with a new 8.20 mm (.323 in) diameter 9.9 g (154 gr) spitzer bullet. The Gewehr 98 was originally chambered for the M/88 service cartridge. It was standard before the use of the FN FAL! :-) -Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.144.116.138 ( talk) 09:10, 18 August 2009 (UTC) 1888 pattern M/88 ammunition and conversion to 1905 pattern 8x57mm IS Pleas add Argentina, I used myself a Gewehr 98 in the Army. Sus scrofa ( talk) 08:00, 12 April 2013 (UTC) Argentina as user The only question is if "G98 pattern" includes the Kar98k as well. 22:23, 11 April 2013 (UTC) - Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.184.191.46 ( talk) The source you've given is better than the current one which is a dead link to a website that seems to be self-published. I recently acquired Dieter Storz's comprehensive book about the Gewehr 98, "Rifle and Carbine 98", and he cites in pp150 that his estimate of total produced G98 pattern rifles lies somewhere between 13 and 13.5 million, which is much larger than the infobox's claim of "5 million" (which would be far shorter than the amount of mobilized men that the Germans had fielded in WW1). but doesn't it deserve to be included in this article, since 100 Million rifles produced would make this design one of the most produced in history? -Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.242.181.138 ( talk) 21:02, 2 February 2010 (UTC) That would be close to the number of AK-47s made. I am sure this number is inclusive of all Mauser 98 variants, including the K98k and other Mausers made in/for Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Turkey, China, Siam, etc., etc. I can quote from page 122: "The first was named after its inventor, Lieutenant Colonel Lange, at that time the director of the ammunition factory in Spandau." Thom430 ( talk) 12:44, 14 November 2016 (UTC) Number Built Īccording to the Mauser company, approximately 100 Million Mauser 98s have been built. The book at hand is "German Military Rifles and Machine Pistols 1871-1945 by Hans-Dieter Götz", also available in German, supposedly. "Lange Visier" does not mean "long sight" (which would be "langes Visier"). The Lange Visier was named after its inventor Lange. The safety does not (!) secure the trigger! -Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.226.196.44 ( talk) 12:05, 18 February 2009 (UTC) Lange Visier WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2008 Īrticle reassessed and graded as start class.
