RECKNAGEL Picatinny rail (Mauser K98 steel)

The Recknagel Picatinny rail for the Mauser K98 is a blued steel rail that screws onto the receiver of a K98 or K98-based hunting rifle and gives you a Picatinny base for scope rings, a one-piece mount or a red dot. This is the flat 0 MOA version, 7.5 mm high. The rear screw holes are slotted, so the rail can follow the different hole spacings found on K98 receivers.

Specifications

What it's for

• Putting modern optics on an old K98. Once the rail is on, any Picatinny rings, block mount or red dot clamps straight on, and you can change optics later without touching the receiver again.
• Normal hunting distances. A 0 MOA rail keeps the scope parallel to the barrel, which is what you want for most hunting. A 20 MOA rail only makes sense if you shoot so far that the scope runs out of elevation, and that is a different item.
• Steel rather than aluminium. Recknagel also makes this rail in aluminium. This listing is the blued steel one.
• Check your receiver first. The rail screws into holes in the receiver. If your K98 has never been drilled and tapped for a scope, a gunsmith has to do that first. If the receiver still has the bump at the rear for stripper clips, ask us before ordering.
• Fitting. Degrease the receiver, use thread locker and don't overtighten the small screws. If you're not sure, let a gunsmith fit it.
