I also posted this in the Milsurp forum, where it was quickky answered. Thanks. Mods, please delete if you wish.
Hello,
I just picked up a sporting rifle in .308 caliber. It says "Model 98" and nothing else anywhere else, except "three o eight" engraved on the magazine floor.
The bolt has two locking lugs in front and a safety lug that fits into a slot in the receiver. It has a large claw extractor and seems to be controlled round feed. It has an ejector on the left side in the receiver. The action cocks on closing. Bolt removal is a lever on the left, exactly like Swedish Mausers I have owned.
I have pictures (I'm trying to post them). I'm mainly interested in knowing who may have built this original action, but if anyone knows who sporterized it that would be a bonus.
Thanks in advance.
