Worthy product review by John on 3/28/2017Arrived quickly, well constructed, well finished and even more pleasing, an exact fit to my 1915 GEW Mauser. You cannot do better at this price or even twice that which the competing sellers charge. I did not nor will not try this on a K98 as it not designed nor correct for the later Mauser.

1943 German K98 Mauser = Awesome addition !!!!!!!! review by David on 6/15/2016
This fits my 1943 German K98 Mauser great. Installation was easy only adjustment was needed no modification was needed. Had to slightly bend the front of the magazine lip by 1mm then insert front lip first push down and forward and it snapped in place securely. It is all steel construction the box, follower, and spring too. Only draw back is does not hold bolt open when empty but that doesn't bother me. If you have a German Mauser this will fit and highly recommend it.

Strong review by Ian on 6/11/2016
Well built magazine; very strong, welded joints, very nice follower. The body is constructed of 0.037" (0.94mm) steel, and has a hard, matte black paint. The follower spring is plenty long and strong for reliable feeding.
To note: this will fit in a Czech VZ24 but not a Yugo M48. The dimension from the underside of the front lug to the back of the rear lug is 3.799" (96.26mm), a VZ24 has 3.787" (96.18mm), and an M48 has 3.670" (93.21mm) respectively. It fits a VZ24 as-is, but cannot be modified to fit an M48 (I tried). Something else to note is that the magazine body is 1.05" (26.54mm) wide at the front, and 1.12" (28.34mm) at the rear (1.31"/33.25mm with the lug bracket wrapping around the back). The upper body of the magazine will almost definitely need to be modified to fit the rifle perfectly (especially if the wood of the stock is not level with the metal), but shouldn't be too massive a chore.
Overall, a quality piece of equipment that is well worth the money (although being less expensive would only add to the desirability). Gives an interesting look to your Mauser that will sure get comments. -
Great for the Gew 98! review by Jim on 1/19/2016
I too tried this in some of my other Mausers with no luck. It was very close on my Turk Model 38, but wouldn't quite fit. It gave me an excuse to buy a Gew 98 this past weekend though. I did have to grind a little bit on the flange that locks the magazine in place on the rifle, but once that was done, it fit great - very solid. Can't wait to get it to the range!

Outstanding review by Ryan on 8/5/2014
One of the most interesting designed mags I have ever seen. Multi platform use and very rigid, the cherry on top of any rifle you can use it in.

Fits my K98 JUST FINE!!! review by K98 Kingpin on 11/2/2011
I don't know what the last reviewer was talking about, this magazine fits my K98 just fine.
It looks great and was easy to install. The spring is strong, the metal finish is perfect, and the stampings look great too.
A++++ would recommend to anyone with a K98!! -
Make sure you have a G98 review by Ricky on 8/25/2011
Purchased this magazine thinking it would work on a K98K, but it is actually designed to work on a G98. Apparently there has never been a K98K specific trench magazine, only modified versions of this magazine to fit them to each individual K98K.
I have a few K98K's and this magazine does not lock into place on any of them, the pin that locks the magazine in place is off by a few fractions of an inch. I'm sure I could open up the magazine a bit, but I would expect feeding problems as this is not going to be held in the receiver correctly.
This magazine does snap into my Gewehr 98 marked receiver Russian Capture just fine. I was able to also load and cycle 20 rounds of dummy ammo without any problems. I did not try 25 rounds because I had to make up the dummy rounds and didn't really see the point in doing 5 more. Since it feeds all 20 fine, I'm sure it will feed the last five too.
Not sure if I would have bought this if I knew it only worked in the Gewehr 98. I called KS about this and they were great about updating the information for other customers and offered a full refund if I wanted one. Decided to keep this magazine though as it really does look good on my G98. I just wish it was a little cheaper.
