This video delves into the history and modification of the Norwegian K98kF1 rifle. Following World War II, Norway acquired a substantial number of German K98k Mauser rifles. These were refurbished and modified for Norwegian service, including changes to the rear and front sights. A significant modification occurred in the 1950s when many of these rifles were rebarreled from 8x57mm to .30-06 Springfield to utilize U.S. supplied ammunition, receiving the designation m/K98kF1. The description also briefly mentions an abandoned later attempt to convert them to 7.62mm NATO before the G3 rifle was adopted.
