Technical Overview
The wz.98a rifle was mechanically identical to the German M1898 Mauser rifle. It was a bolt-action repeating rifle, using a rotating bolt turned 90 degrees to lock or unlock. Locking was by means of two locking lugs at the front of the bolt, with a safety lug at the rear. Ammunition was fed from a fixed box magazine holding five rounds in a staggered alignment. The safety was mounted on the rear of the bolt assembly. The rifle was fitted with iron sights, a tapered front sight blade and a tangent-type rear sight with a V-shaped notch, graduated from 100 to 2000 meters in 100 meters step. The rifle used the bayonets wz.22, wz.24, wz.25, wz.27, wz.28 or wz.29.
