NOTICE: We have decided (reluctantly) to discontinue offering reference books on military firearms. Unfortunately, many (most) of our customers seem to feel that they can acquire their knowledge of these things for FREE on the internet (I do NOT agree with that assessment) and reference book sales have been stagnant for some time.
As we run out of items we will be removing the listings, but will offer
for two or more titles (ordered at the same time) for as long as they last. These are a VERY LIMITED supply. . . for some titles we only have one remaining, for others as many as eight.

NEW! Karabiner 98k Volume 2: A collectors guide to the development and production of the German K98k service rifle from 1939 to 1944 by Bruce Karem & Michael Steves (2017). Originally, this was intended to be 1 book, but due to the immense amount of information available (over 910 pages), the volume was split into 2 books, which are sold together as a set. The K98k rifle was Germany's principle battle rifle from 1935 until 1945. In those 10 years the K98k rifle left it's mark on the history of the world. This volume details the production and improvements to German Model 98 rifles from 1939 - 1944. The book includes detailed production analysis using factory documents whenever possible, including over 200 pages on Mauser Oberndorf alone. Also covered are the rest of the makers of the K98k rifle during WW2, including Sauer, Steyr, Waffenwerke Brünn AG, Erma, Mauser Borsigwalde, Gustloff-Werke, and Mauser Borsigwalde. Also covered in detail are reworks and rifles of the SS. Hardcover with Dustjacket, ONLY $144.95 SOLD OUT
