German Wartime Modification of the Gewehr 1898
This video details a wartime modification of the Gewehr 1898 rifle, focusing on its increased magazine capacity and operational changes. The modification allows for a pseudo-detachable magazine extension, enabling the rifle to hold 15 rounds plus an additional 10, for a total of 25 rounds of 8mm Mauser ammunition. The dust cover remains attached to the bolt, which can cause some drag on the action.
