No it ain't Rog. It was just another observation on these fascinating old rifles. It's endless.

The big question is who converted the service rifle to a .22? I don't know that it was done in Israel although I've seen other Israeli military .22 conversions done on Mauser 98k rifles so anything's possible. It looks like a very nice job of it. I hope he gets it out and enjoys it.
