The Steyr VG-5, or VK-98, represents a 'last-ditch' German rifle from late WWII, designed for the Volkssturm militia with simplified construction. It's mechanically a Mauser Kar98k but features crude forgings, minimal finishing, and cost-saving measures like a blind magazine and stamped trigger guard. Authentic examples are often marked 'bnz 45' and lack standard Waffenamt stamps, distinguishing them from military-issue rifles.
