Guys,
I have put together this little table to help me better understand who made what, when, regarding K98k snipers. Please bear with me, I’m no expert on snipers, but am trying to learn. So, while I know there are always exceptions, and that knowledge gaps may exist, etc, am I at least close? Note: I’ve had this for awhile, and from a variety of sources, so it’s kind of a compilation of sources. I can not claim to have done it without help from elsewhere.
1. Short Side Rail (SSR)
Gewehr 98 SS Reworks 1938-1940 SSR Type 1
J.P Sauer 1941-1942 SSR Type 2
J.P Sauer 1943 SSR Type 3
Mauser Oberndorf 1943 SSR Type 3
2. Turret Mount System
Mauser Oberndorf 1939-1943 Low Turret (ceased at k-block 1943)
Mauser Oberndorf 1943-1945 High Turret (k-block only)
J.P Sauer 1944 High Turret
3. Long Side Rail (LSR)
Gustloff Werke 1944-1945 LSR
4. Claw Mount System
Steyr Diamler-Puch, AG 1943-1944 Single Claw
Steyr Diamler-Puch, AG 1943-1944 SS Double claw
Gustloff Werke 1943-1945 SS Double claw
Mauser Oberndorf 1943-1945 SS Double Claw
Gustloff Werke 1943-1945 SS Objective Mount (aka Suhler Claw)
Mauser Oberndorf 1943-1945 SS Objective Mount (aka Suhler Claw)
