Overview[]

The Karabiner 98b (abbreviated Kar 98b or K 98b), is a German bolt-action rifle adopted in 1923. It is an upgraded version of the Gewehr 98. Unlike other rifles named 'Karabiner', this weapon was not designed as a carbine, the name is simply a way to get around the Treaty of Versailles, which only allowed Germany to produce carbine rifles.
