milsurpcollector Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I have decided to build an Israeli K98 sniper rifle. Here is the before picture. Since this gun is basically a wreck I dont feel guilty about ruining any historical value. The original sniper was a belgian k98 made for Israel in 8mm Almost all of these were converted to .308 Israel sent some to Switzerland where they mounted a a Wild 4x scope using a spring loaded detachable scope mount. The scope base and mounts are available and are original so I wont even be making a reproduction. It will be all original. I have all the parts i need except for the scope system and barrel. The scope is the rare part, and its $500. That may see like alot but originals built by wild go for $2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
