Help Identifying K98 in .22

Hi,

I just picked up the following K98 in .22 (so I'm not sure if should be here or in the.22 Mods - please move if I'm in the wrong spot). The previous owner indicated that it was an Israeli trainer, built using a Remington Barrel. What are your thoughts on what I have here:

As you can see it is marked 400 ÷ 25

as well as 0.22 on the right side and bent bolt handle:

And it is marked with a 'dot' on the upper receiver:

and finally the k98 mark:

The previous owner is on the money. A variety of German and Czech 98K rifles were converted by the Israelis to .22. I once had a Radom WZ29 that was converted. They are very nice rifles and a lot of fun to shoot.

I imported a couple hundred of these into Canada in the 1980s from Israel. From mint to good condition.

Cool, this could be one of them I suppose.

I'd have loved to get one of those. Always like the full size rifles in .22.

I have the FN israeli k98 22 in mint condition,

Israeli FN contract 22 98k rifle. Mostly were exc/mint condition in storage in
the desert. Had to change wood to israeli surplus Mauser wood because the
original was oil soaked with sand. Metal is all original finish. I have a few of these
all the same

Wow, that is an unbelievable nice sample you have there. Were all of the ones you imported like this or close to it? I'd love to habe one in that condition.

Yes, most of the ones I have are like this. Just had to replace wood and some bolt parts. Guns are all
original from FN
