The Karabiner 98b is a Mauser built on the long-rifle pattern, and DWM is one of the names that appears on early German military Mausers. This used example is chambered in 8mm Mauser with a 30-inch barrel, a five-round magazine, and a blued finish.

The seller reports light wear consistent with its age, including minor handling marks and finish wear, but calls it in very good overall condition. The wood stock is solid and has a good appearance with only light cosmetic wear. The metal finish has held up well, the action operates smoothly, and the bore and rifling are in good condition with strong visible grooves. The rifle appears mechanically sound and well maintained.

German Mausers earn their reputation for a reason. The controlled-round-feed action is strong and the safety is positive. Rifles like this one are good candidates for a collection or a day at the range with surplus-grade ammunition.

Before shooting it, confirm the headspace and look at the bore with a bright light. Check the stock for cracks around the tang. A lightly oiled rifle stores well for many years. It is sold as described, in used condition. The rifle ships to your local FFL dealer, where the background check is completed.
