Have two K98’s in front of me and it took playing with a 1903 to realize I wasn’t going senile.
On one (BNZ 43) the magazine follower does not lock the bolt back on an empty mag.
The second (BYF 44) the follower does lock the bolt back when the mag is empty.
Is there a right and wrong here? Which was preferred by the Heer or by standards or guidelines? If any?
Or did this totally depend on the manufacturer and year and a whim?
