but doesn't it deserve to be included in this article, since 100 Million rifles produced would make this design one of the most produced in history? -Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.242.181.138 ( talk) 21:02, 2 February 2010 (UTC) That would be close to the number of AK-47s made. I am sure this number is inclusive of all Mauser 98 variants, including the K98k and other Mausers made in/for Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Turkey, China, Siam, etc., etc. I can quote from page 122: 'The first was named after its inventor, Lieutenant Colonel Lange, at that time the director of the ammunition factory in Spandau.' Thom430 ( talk) 12:44, 14 November 2016 (UTC) Number Built Īccording to the Mauser company, approximately 100 Million Mauser 98s have been built. The book at hand is 'German Military Rifles and Machine Pistols 1871-1945 by Hans-Dieter Götz', also available in German, supposedly. 'Lange Visier' does not mean 'long sight' (which would be 'langes Visier'). The Lange Visier was named after its inventor Lange.

The safety does not (!) secure the trigger! -Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.226.196.44 ( talk) 12:05, 18 February 2009 (UTC) Lange Visier
