Application & History
The extended sniper safety was developed for Mauser K98 rifles equipped with a telescopic sight. On sniper rifles, the standard safety could provide insufficient clearance between the bolt and the scope mount. The extended safety allowed safe and easy operation without contacting the scope.
This reproduction is ideal for collectors, restorers, and enthusiasts of historic military firearms who wish to maintain an authentic appearance when restoring or building a K98 sniper rifle. The applied WaA815 marking provides a historically correct finish suitable for various German WWII configurations.
