Custom Miniature Accessory Details
Item Name / Model: Miniature Gewehr 98 (G98) Bolt-Action Rifle with Attached Bayonet Item Type: Firearm Accessory / Minifigure Weapon Prop
Item Description: This is a single custom-crafted accessory designed specifically for brick block figures (such as LEGO minifigures) and military dioramas. The item is a highly detailed, miniature replica of a World War I-era bolt-action rifle with a fixed bayonet.

Weapon Component: The rifle features a highly detailed, dual-tone finish. The stock is molded or painted with a realistic wood-grain pattern, while the mechanical components—including the receiver, straight bolt handle, “rollercoaster” rear sight, barrel bands, trigger guard, and the blade bayonet—are finished in a striking metallic silver/pewter color. The inclusion of the fixed bayonet makes this a versatile dual-purpose weapon for both ranged infantry display and close-quarters combat poses.
-
Hardware & Fit: The midsection of the rifle (around the stock and beneath the receiver) is precisely scaled to snap securely into the standard C-shaped hand of a block character. This allows the figure to hold the weapon firmly in a firing stance, at the ready, or charging forward in a bayonet assault.
Historical Background: This accessory accurately replicates the Gewehr 98 (abbreviated G98 or Gew 98), which was the standard-issue service rifle for the infantry of the German Empire from 1898 to 1935. Designed by Paul Mauser, this 7.92mm bolt-action rifle is renowned for its incredibly strong, safe, and reliable action—a design that became the basis for modern hunting and military bolt-action rifles worldwide. The G98 was the primary German infantry weapon throughout World War I. The addition of the fixed bayonet is historically significant; during the brutal, confined trench warfare of WWI, soldiers heavily relied on bayonets for close-quarters combat and defense when enemy troops breached the trench lines. This custom miniature piece is an essential, highly accurate accessory for builders looking to construct authentic WWI trench dioramas, historical European battlefields, or military block figure displays.
