We had a member here that was IDF at one point used to set us straight on some of this. He was the one that told us the Carbines were used to defend schools and farms projects.

Perfect little weapon for kibbutzes, classrooms, and field trips.

Exactly his point, also it didn't drain their front line stuff. Bet they have a ton set aside.

Have one that came out of Guatemala, ate up with rust.

Buddy found one imported directly from Israel, it's damn near mint

Which, the K98k or M1/2 carbine?

K98

Mine had come from Israel through probably Century Arms here and was as close to perfect as they could be. We had lots show up. You can still fine them around for sale but now near $1000CDN.

Okay, now that I am home, I have some pictures of my ate up Israeli K98

Back shot


Front Band


Receiver markings (Mauser 1936)


Damged/repaired safety with silver solder, was told this was not an Israeli fix


The telltale sign of Guatamalan imports--rust under the wood


More of it


The wood was pretty soft as well, the stock needed to be replaced, luckily the correct ones are still out there. Barrel is a freakin sewer pipe. I wanted an Israeli Mauser real bad, and got a real bad Israeli Mauser
