NO! Really?

But i am left-handed, which makes me sensitive to thinge of that natire - and i read online that the Brits have a weapon [can't recall the designation} i wouldn't be able to use safely and effectively - it has a left-hand charging handle, and a bullpup action. Fire that left-handed and it's gonna break your nose {or do other damage}.

We sinister people tend to run a little touchy about left-handed jokes...

Just call it an 8mm Mauser, that's how it's designated by SAAMI and how basically everybody knows it. The caliber, that is. The rifle is still called a Mauser 98k or Karabiner 98k if you want to be all proper and German. :D

Never have i ever heard someone call it 8mm Mauser in Germany. Also 98k's totally sufficient over here (in Germany :p)

Yeah, but that's because Germans have that whole "You must be exact!" thing going on. :ROFLMAO:

The cartridge is known as an 8mm Mauser basically everywhere else that uses SAAMI standards. I suppose it's possible or maybe even probable that the European nations would specificy 7.92x57mm.

As for calling it a 98k, I can see that being sufficient. Most folks over here just call it a Mauser and don't even bother with the actual model number, they're basically ignorant about the fact that it's the company name and that they made a LOT of other firearms.

I think its pretty common.never heard someone speakin for example of a Colt M16 instead of simply M16, or AK47 instead of Izhmash Awtomat Kalaschnikova...

Even more though because this rifle was made by literally all German armorers at the peak of WW2.

Well, they made my dad's off-duty 70s era HSc, and my 1939 Army Luger (numbers matching, except for magazines, as well as a 1939 dated Army holster ;)). And, yeah, "purists" would say it isn't an "original" since it was post 1918. :LOL:
