Okay, guys, this is our rough draft. I want to try to get the Fremdgerät numbers for the ones that we lack and more info on others, then, we'll have it. I don't normally use color, but I need to here to help us highlight the trouble spots.
Let's use these standard abbreviations for ease of communication.

Carbine - Karabiner = Kar.
German-manufactured rifles

Kar.98b (slightly modified Gew.98 retained after WWI ad then used in WWII, often bearing "1920" or "1921" to show that they had been inventoried by the Inter-Allied Military Control Commission in accordance with the Versailles Treaty)
Kar.98k (a shorter Kar.98b adopted in 1935 and remained the standard until the end of the war)

I don't think this is right. The only modifiction I could find made in 1904 was the conversion from .318" to the .323" bore diameter for the new 7.92x57JS round and recalibrating the sights (actually this started in 1903 but wasn't finished till 1905). The third locking lug was part of the Model 98 action from the start according everything I ever read about it.Gew.98 "1904" (basically the normal Gew.98, but incorporating the third/safety lug turning down into the action behind the magazine well)

Here is what I have found out about this rifle:Gew.29/40 (can anyone provide more info for this ?)
These ones were assembled at Steyr using parts captured in Poland (receivers, trigger guards, etc.) and parts made by Steyr (barrels, barrel bands etc.). Only a small portion were reworked complete wz.29 rifles.These were maked "G29/40" on the left side rail by Steyr with their code "660" and year found on the receiver ring. Those with with Polish markings will have the "wz" struck out and a "G" placed ahead of it and a "/40" added. The "660" will still be on the receiver ring with the Polish eagle crest "FB" "RADOM" and year of manufacture below it in that order.
There was also a second version so to speak(but not really), these ones have no Polish markings and are assembled entirly from Steyr made parts.
All Gew.29/40 rifles were made, assembled, or reconfigured by Steyr. They all have the "660" Steyr factory code on the receiver.

List of bolt action rifles used by Germany
Maybe this is not the place but I do`'t want to start a new topic.
Anyone knows where we can look for the lis of all Fremdegerät numbers?
Is very tired search for them when any (as in this topic) tries to know and of course I think that my list could be completed. After we can made a complete list of the equipment used by Germany, now we have the submachine Guns and the bolt action rifles, next......

Do any of you have the amounts of any of these rifles captured?
How many of which type were captured, stocked, given to German forces etc...?
Re: List of Bolt-Action Rifles Used by Germany
How about listing some quantities?
For a start:
Czech rifles available to Czech forces on 18.03.39:
Rifles old model: 296600
Rifles mod. 23: 84634
Rifles mod. 24: 529366
(data according to: http://armada.vojenstvi.cz/predvalecna/dokumenty/9.htm )
Some of these rifles were given to Slovakia, and then there was the continued production 1939-45.
