Gewehr 98 with 25 round magazine

Visited the Virginia War Museum today in Newport News and this Gewehr 98 in the WW1 section instantly caught my eye. Had no idea that magazines of this capacity were made for this rifle.

Strongly recommend visiting this museum if you’re in the area, incredible collection of firearms (many of them very rare) and some fascinating pieces on display.
