    Yes...
    According to the table on P.215 of "The Mauser Bolt Actions"by Jerry Kuhnhausen, the Gew.98 and K98 should be the same. Overall length 7.337", for the standard action body length.

    but...
    some other members of the M98 family had different firing pin lengths (e.g. for intermediate length and commercial actions).

    So be careful to specify the length when ordering! Something recycled from Yugoslaviaicon, for instance, might not fit.
