This video explores the Våpensmia NM-149S, a Norwegian sniper rifle conversion based on the German Kar 98k. Following WWII, many Kar 98k rifles remained in Norway and were repurposed for hunting and competition. In the 1980s, the Norwegian military contracted Våpensmia to modify these actions into sniper rifles chambered in 7.62x51mm. These rifles featured detachable box magazines, bent bolt handles, and short-throw safeties for Schmidt & Bender scopes. The NM-149 F1 variant, featured in the video, includes improvements like fixed iron sights, a heavier barrel, and a G3 flash hider. Several hundred of these rifles were later sold to Estonia, where they served as marksman rifles until recently replaced. The video thanks the Estonian Defense Forces Support Command for access.
