The Kar98k is in High-Tech, p. 111, and in High-Tech: Pulp Guns 2, p. 6.

Thanks for the Search-Fu check. Edit: Where I goofed was I ran down the weapon charts, I should have known to go check the weapon description; which of course where it was to be found.

While Swedish ordinance would normally be the most likely...the Mauser (and locally made often under license carbon copies) turn up everywhere, possibly because the army using it was disbanded after its defeat. I assume Germany kept 100,000 rifles for the Army authorized by the Treaty of Versailles the rest were scattered to the winds.

Obviously OP's decision...was just tossing an idea onto the fire.
