HI
I found on the enternet Under Gewehr 98 Information about 98 Gewehr 98
The following ...........
In 1908 new features were a small diameter recieiver ring.tapered rather then stepped barrel contour an L shaped stacking rod attached to the stock near the muzzle. A turned down bolt handle and excavation in the stock in the same fashion as the sniper Gewehr 98"s
The A stood for with bayonet The z stood for stacking pyramid, meaning carbine model 1898 with bayonet attacment point and stacking rod device.
In 1923 the AZ was dropped for a as Germany sought to distinguish the model from newer models b"s and the k
So as I said ffrom now on I will being calling the Gewehr 98 a only as the correct terminology..
