Some of these rifles saw use in World War II [34] but mostly in second line units because the shortened and improved Karabiner 98k was the standard-issue rifle by that time. Gewehr 98 and Karabiner 98b were sometimes rebuilt to the Karabiner 98k configuration. [35] In 1924 the Gewehr 98 was developed into the Mauser Standardmodell rifle. [36]
