Apparently there has never been a K98K specific trench magazine, only modified versions of this magazine to fit them to each individual K98K. Purchased this magazine thinking it would work on a K98K, but it is actually designed to work on a G98. Gives an interesting look to your Mauser that will sure get comments. Overall, a quality piece of equipment that is well worth the money (although being less expensive would only add to the desirability). The upper body of the magazine will almost definitely need to be modified to fit the rifle perfectly (especially if the wood of the stock is not level with the metal), but shouldn't be too massive a chore. Something else to note is that the magazine body is 1.05" (26.54mm) wide at the front, and 1.12" (28.34mm) at the rear (1.31"/33.25mm with the lug bracket wrapping around the back). It fits a VZ24 as-is, but cannot be modified to fit an M48 (I tried). The dimension from the underside of the front lug to the back of the rear lug is 3.799" (96.26mm), a VZ24 has 3.787" (96.18mm), and an M48 has 3.670" (93.21mm) respectively. To note: this will fit in a Czech VZ24 but not a Yugo M48.
The follower spring is plenty long and strong for reliable feeding.
The body is constructed of 0.037" (0.94mm) steel, and has a hard, matte black paint. Well built magazine very strong, welded joints, very nice follower.
