FZH Mauser bolts are installed and used in hunting rifles that meet the highest demands of traditional gunsmithing and are among the most beautiful and valuable rifles on the market. The reliable C35 steel of the original Mauser action is used. We mill and turn from one block with maximum precision. We use state-of-the-art manufacturing methods today. In 1998 – quasi to the hundredth birthday of the Mauser M 98 bolt-action rifle – the FZH GmbH produced its first FZH Bolt Action 98 based on original drawings from 1941 in cooperation with Theo Jung and Dirk Brinkmann. It is quite obvious that the best pieces have been used first, so that the quality of the original actions still available is continuously decreasing. These actions were produced in large quantities by the military- almost 10 million actions until the end of the First World War – the bolts of these decommissioned rifles were and are installed in hunting rifles. It is the world’s most widely produced rifle bolt action with now more than 100 million actions. The building block for its success is its well-thought-out construction and functional reliability. The Action 98 is constructed for safe operation under adverse conditions and remains unsurpassed. The Lange sight was replaced with a conventional v-notch tangent-leaf sight, which would be retained on the later Kar98b, Mauser Standard-Modell, and the Kar98k.Thanks to its ingenious design, the Mauser Action M 98 is one of the best bolt actions ever developed. 98 for the 100,000-man Reichswehr allowed them under the Treaty of Versailles. 98 also featured a new bayonet lug projecting forward from the forend of the stock, which allowed the bayonet to be mounted closer to the centreline of the bore.Īfter World War 1, the Weimar Republic adopted the Gew. A very short handguard extended from the sight base to the lower barrel band, and the buttstock featured a pistol grip for more comfortable shooting. The design retained the 29.1" barrel of previous Mauser long rifles, but featured a new rear v-notch quadrant sight now known as the Lange-Visier. Ball added that the Mauser was a safe and robust rifle with a five-round clip, and the world’s most. According to The History Channel’s Tales of the Gun, the Mauser 98 was the best bolt action rifle ever made. In the event that burst gasses did escape into the bolt raceway, a large flange was designed into the front of the bolt shroud, which would deflect the gasses away from the shooter's face. The famed Mauser K98k was but one of a long line of acclaimed rifles that epitomized German arms. In case the primary locking lugs gave way, a third locking lug was placed on the rear of the bolt body, which was designed to engage a recess in the bottom of the receiver and prevent the bolt from moving backward. The bolt body also had two large holes in the wall of the bolt, which allowed gasses from a breached primer to vent laterally out of the side of the bolt, rather than compressing and deforming the mainspring. This was to prevent the gasses from a burst cartridge from forcing the bolt head apart and traveling down the bolt raceway. First, the receiver incorporated a ring of metal that would surround the bolt head between the locking lugs and the chamber face when the bolt was fully locked. 98 incorporated several new safety features designed to cope with a burst cartridge. Furthermore, the diameter of the receiver ring was increased by 1/8" (3.18mm), allowing the receiver to withstand greater chamber pressures.

The Gew.98 action featured cock-on-opening, meaning that the cocking piece was forced back (and thus the mainspring compressed) by camming with an inclined-plane cut into the circular wall of the bolt body. First patented by Paul Mauser in 1896, it was adopted by the Imperial German Army in 1898. The Gewehr 98 rifle was the final development in Mauser's line of turn-bolt rifles.
