Question: is mauser still in business?
Answer: After a mere 70 years, give or take a few months, the Mauser company of Germany is once again producing Mauser 98 rifles. Granted, the company is no longer Mauser-Werke Oberndorf, and granted, the “new” Mauser 98 is not an exact continuation of the original 98, but for all intents and purposes, it's close enough.
