Mauser M1996, [2] also known as Mauser M96 or Mauser M96 S, is a straight-pull rifle which was introduced by the German firearms manufacturer Mauser in 1996. The rifle had a blind magazine which was loaded from the top, and the bolt was operated by pulling the bolt handle about 30 degrees along the longitudinal axis of the firearm.

The M 98 bolt action will cycle correctly irrespective of the way the rifle is moved or positioned during the bolt cycling action or if the cartridge has been fired or not. Only if the bolt is not brought back far enough, sharply enough, in a controlled round feed bolt action the cartridge case may not be cleanly ejected and a jam may result.
