Norwegian K98K's and accessories.

[BMF]

Wow! Now , that's an interesting rifle !!! Do you know what scope it used to have? I have tried to find documentation myself, about the use of K98K snipers in postwar Norway. The zf 41's issued to the Homeguard are mentioned in Haneviks book (about norwegian armyrifles after 1867). I asked him about other snipers when I ordered his book. He sayed they wasn't availeable in any significant numbers (except the zf41's) to be issued. He owned a high turret (if I remember correctly) wich came from the Homeguards NCO school at Torpo. It was rebarrelled to 7,62 nato. In another book about the Homeguards school at Dombås,it's a little chapter about their first sniper courses in the mid '50's. The school received 32 k98k's in 7,92 mm cal. with various german scopes. These later got US made M82 scopes. That's the only info about those rifles, no pictures or anything.
Do you have any other information about that rifle? Any norwegian markings?
