Description
12/5/22 – This is an excellent example of an interesting rifle. It is a K98 that was originally manufactured by Waffenwerke Brunn and issued to the Nazi military in 1945. It was then reworked by an Israeli arsenal in the 1970’s – the gun was given an excellent phosphate finish, it was re-chambered to 7.62 NATO, and given a new serial number. The chamber has faint Israeli acceptance proofs, and some of the small parts still have Nazi military acceptance proofs. The original arsenal sticker is mostly intact on the left side of the butt stock – dated 1975. Overall, the gun is excellent. There is very little finish loss, but there are some light scratches on the floor plate and some areas of minor pitting under the finish on the receiver. The stock is in excellent condition, but there is some bruising on the upper handguard. “7.62” was etched into the bottom edge of the butt stock. Import mark to the right of the rear sight. The bore looks brand-new.
