SPecial Mountain Version? No. The Kar98 is the shortened version of the original Mauser 1898 and was standard issue to all riflemen serving in the Heer.
The mountain version is even shorter. Now you must remember that the original Mauser 1898 was massively long. The Kar98 is what I would refer to as normal.
