This video explores the M98kF1 ZF41, a German World War II sniper rifle that was re-purposed and modified by Norway. Following the war, hundreds of thousands of German rifles, including ZF41 models, were surrendered to Norway. The Norwegians maintained these rifles and later re-barreled many Mauser actions, including the ZF41 variants, to .30-06 caliber (7.62x63mm) starting in 1950. The video details the markings indicating their Norwegian service and the numbering system for the re-barreled scope mounts. These modified rifles served in the Norwegian Home Guard until the early 1970s when they were replaced by the AG3.
