Israeli K98k bayonet and stripper clip question?

[Chuck3436]

So i SHOULD have one coming in within the week...

Do the israeli reworks utilize the regular k98k bayonets?
And out of sheer curiosity, what stripper clips work now? K98k clips, or were there special ones made for this rifle?

Lastly, im going to assume this has been asked, but .308 and 7.62nato will both work in this action? I assume since its originally made for the heavier 8mm mauser everything should be fine.

Cheers.

Yes, the K98 bayonets will work, unless you get a kriegs or semi-kriegs one that doesn't have the lug.

I used 8mm stripper clips on mine just fine, no problems with a loose fit or improper feeding.

Either denomination of the caliber (.308 or 7.62) will work in it. I used .308 hunting ammo in mine for hunting and plinked with Nato surplus. It is considered a no-no to use Nato ammo in a rifle chambered for .308 but not the other way around. The K98 action is mighty strong, it will handle a lot of pressure.
