📋 About This Mod
Mauser Karabiner 98K
Re-modelling and re-texturing of the Hunting rifle to look like a WW2 German rifle.
The re-moddeling is done for most if not all stocks and barrels, iron/glow sights and bayonet. It's pretty much compatible with all other add-ons like scopes, barrel mods and bipods so you can easily achieve both historically accurate look as well as attaching some modern novelties.
I don't plan any more innovations or improve... ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT There will be some updates, Here's a list:
1. STAND-ALONE mod pack by courtesy of NordicRunes - It creates a separate set of Hunting rifle mods that change it to Mauser K98 rifle. 2. BAYONET HOTFIX, just replace the bayonet mesh with this to flip the blade so it n longer is upside down.
Installation
1 Go to your fallout 4 savegame location and open the fallou4 ini file. 2 change the line ResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\ to ResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, TEXTURES\, MESHES\ 3 extract the files into your data folder
Credits and permits

Modelling work is my job, do as you see fit with them, no permission needed, only credit me. Same with textures, but they come from a free graphics website, I'd rather suggest visiting and supporting those websites with a download as a first choice.
