SOLD SCARCE bcd 41 MAUSER K98k……..NORWEGIAN 30-06 CONVERSION…..MINT AND MATCHING!

This is like having your cake and eating it too!  Here we have a very desirable 1941 GustloffWerke made bcd 41 coded Mauser K98k Rifle that was surrendered in Norway at the end of the war.  After the war, Norway converted  and rebuilt these rifles to 30-06 caliber, which involved re-barreling, a modification of the receiver to take the length of the 30-06 cartridge and a rebuild.  Unlike most of these rifles this still is a German mostly matching rifle, including the bolt.  These rifles were converted post war from the German 8×57 service round to the US 30-06 and the reason for this was to adapt a uniform caliber conforming to US military specifications, since Norway was gifted large stocks of surplus military aid from the U.S. This was an extremely well done rebuild and a definite upgrade to a more powerful cartridge.  These rifles are very uniquely marked and are highly sought after by collectors and shooters alike.  This rifle is marked to the Norwegian Army.  The bore is mint.  These rifles were released by Norway in the 1980’s and 90’s and were snatched up by collectors as soon as they hit the market.  This example is as good a you will ever find one.
