During WW2 only post Dunkirk UK and Japan suffered more from production constraints then Germany. While able to make panthers, STG44, and various panzerfausts in numbers. Even by the end the Kar98 was the chief implement of the German soldier. Germany made overwhelming us of captured weapons.
Most soldiers made use of civilian scopes to arm sniper rifles created by domestic production and foreign captured. the idea of using civilian rifles base on militairy models is only a logical stop gap measure. The great thing about the sporter is the sheer variety. of stock colors and configurations avaliable to the army.

Type A Model 98-08. Mauser Magazine Rifle With Telescope: This model with telescope and set triggers was designed for precision game shooting. Except for the triggers, it is mechanically the same as the Gewehr 98. Stocks, calibers, general specifications and magazine floor plate release systems vary to a tremendous degree; but the mechanics are the same generally.
Type B Model 98-08. Mauser Magazine Rifle. Hunting Type With Quick Detachable Magazine Bottom For Rapid Magazine Unloading: In this type pushing a lever below the magazine bottom permits the bottom and magazine follower and spring to come out and permits removal of the cartridges without the necessity of working them through the action. Special hunting sights were furnished on this Model. As modified after 1924, this design has the wide gas flange issued in that year.
Type K Mauser Hunting Rifle With Single Trigger And Hunting Sights: This type was developed with lever operated magazine bottom release, special forestock, sights and sling swivels for general hunting use. “Kurz” or short actions are essentially reduced size military receivers and bolts. The original idea of using a shorter than standard action to reduce weight and speed operation was developed at Steyr in Austria, where 1910 Mexican and 1912 Serbian rifles were built. The current Yugoslav military action is shorter than the standard Kar. 98K.
Type M Model 98-08. Mauser Hunting Rifle: This model varies from the previous ones only in furniture and sights. Note that it is equipped with sling swivels for carrying-sling and is stocked to the muzzle. This is an accepted feature in many fine European hunting rifles.
Type S Model 98-08. Mauser Sporting Rifle. Right Side View: This is the original Mauser Sporting Rifle using the Model 98 action, mechanical parts of which are interchangeable with the German military types; but it is fitted with sporting sights and stocks and with double set triggers. Though seldom seen in the U.S., this is a popular European sporting style. Calibers cover the entire range of foreign ammunition, since many of these weapons were barreled to order.
Model 98-08. Mauser Repeating Rifle. Army Type Target Rifle With Long Barrel: This design was originally issued for target shooting and sniping. It is provided with the hunting-type magazine bottom release lever. This type of rifle was designed for hunters seeking a sporter approximating their familiar service rifle in length, weight and general external design.
The Japanese employed a similar strategy to obtain shotguns to be used on the frontlines. Factions on all sides often provided their own sidearm’s in the form of pistols and revolvers. The difference between the 98 Mauser and the sportster is not large. the sale of military arms to the civilian market occurred after WW1, WW2 and many other wars.
I would love to see this gun in the game and anyone that can provide other examples of military use of civilian guns. The use of five or six models of shotguns by the us favors this idea. in fact Paton while not a front line soldiers had several pistols. sorry for meandering but i like unique weapons.
