General Mauser Rifle Questions / Wartime FN Mauser
« on: December 07, 2016, 12:19:59 PM »
My father is an avid collector of Mausers. I recently decided to buy one, so I went to him to get his opinion on which variant to buy. He told me he has a rifle that belonged to my grandfather that I could have. I have not physically seen the rifle yet, so I only have a few details. He claims it is a 8mm FN Mauser made during wartime shortly after Germany captured Belgium & subsequently the FN factory. He says it is standard K98 action, not the FN variant, which as I understand is different than the K98 action. If anybody knows anything about this, I would appreciate it. Was FN making K98 Mausers before the war? Like I said, the information I have about this gun is limited at this point. Thanks for any help.
