** SOLD ** FN Mauser Model K98 Israel IDF in 7.62x51 NATO Caliber **Grenade Launcher - IDF Crest**
Description: Presented for consideration is an FN Herstal made K98 for the Israel Defense Forces chambered in 7.62x51 NATO caliber. Most everyone knows that the Israeli’s were given a hodgepodge of weaponry. They were flooded with thousands of left over K98 Mauser rifles after the war, and used them to great effect. In the 1950’s when they adapted the FN-FAL as their service rifle, they had the Mausers converted to 7.62x51mm. That made sense for several reasons. First, the 8mm Mauser rifles were pretty worn out; and since they were using 7.62 ammo, they needed uniformity. Second, Instead of having 8mm for the mausers and 30-06 for the Browning MG’s, they needed to use one basic rifle round to resolve supply issues. Third, their largest military supplier switched to the what would eventually be known as the 7.62×51 NATO standard. While they were converting the Mauser rifles over, they would carve, “7.62” into the stock for a quick ID on which rifle used which ammo. This particular specimen is in very good condition and has wear that would be expected for a service rifle. The metal components have some areas of finish thinning and moderate high edge wear. The stock is very good with just a few dinks and one crack that would not affect the integrity of the stock. The 24" barrel is bright and has strong rifling. A unique feature of this rifle is the correct grenade launcher with long range sight. This is a unique FN Mauser K98 rifle that would be a great addition to a collection of militaria.
