WW2 German K98 Rifle With Sling Czech Reissued Cock and Click DEWAT

The WW2 German K98 Rifle with Sling, Czech Reissued Cock and Click DEWAT, is a deactivated example of the bolt-action Karabiner 98k, standard issue for German forces during World War II. This particular rifle was later reissued by Czechoslovak authorities, a common practice after the war, and typically includes postwar Czech markings. The “cock and click” designation refers to the operational bolt mechanism, allowing cycling and dry firing while remaining non-functional as a firearm (DEWAT: Deactivated War Trophy). Original military features, such as the hardwood stock, steel buttplate, and sling hardware, have been retained. This item includes an authentic period-style sling. The K98 rifle is historically significant due to its widespread use and durability. Deactivated rifles like this are sought after for educational, display, or collection purposes due to their historical context and preservation of original features without any live firing capability.
