Mauser did not respond to a GunsAmerica request for pricing and caliber information on the new DWM-branded M98. Best guess on price? Not cheap. Other modern M98 models can be had for the low, low price of ~$8,000.
DWM is the conglomerate that manufactured the first Mauser 98 rifle series.
Details are few and far between, but it looks like Mauser is set to reboot their classic Mauser 98 rifle with DWM brand markings.
Deutschen Waffen-und Munitionsfabriken, or DWM, was formed in the late 19th century when the Mauser company joined with Ludwig Loewe and bullet maker Deutsche Metallpatronenfabrik AG. That conglomerate produced the Mauser 98 series bolt-action rifles, which armed German troops (along with troops from many other countries) until after World War II.
Now Mauser is bringing back a DWM-branded M98, and it looks like it’s going to be a beauty.

8 tousan' dollar ? Yumping Yimminy !!
ReplyDeleteI'll take a Swiss K-31 carbine instead, and spend the 8 tousan looking for G-11 7.5 Swiss ammunition :^)
:} I used to have an original which I called my Groundhog gun. :)
DeleteWell If Mauser doesn't sell that at 1000$ USD or less. It will become the safe queen for a few wealthy collectors and fade into history in a few short years. The only way to make a hunting rifle that sells is to make it affordable to the "common man". Something DWM and Mauser haven't done in a long time.---Ray
ReplyDeleteI don't see them selling out, needless to say. :)
