Restoring an FN made Israeli Mauser - Before and After 

I had a similar problem with an after-market (NEW) Paratrooper M1 carbine folding stock for about $150. As my dad, who carried that rifle in Korea, always said, "There is no such thing as a direct swap." The wood stock I had bought had an issue, the cutout was a bit too small to fit the M1 carbine metal parts. A quick trip to the Drill Press later and it fit, though I did cut into the wood a bit too much. At least my mistake was covered by the metal trigger guard once I screwed it in. Also, I did save the original stock so I can switch it back easily.

That is one of the guns I really want that I don't have. To think a gun made by Nazi's was later used by the Jewish state the history that gun has seen is insane. Also I did the same thing where i built a M1 Garand from a receiver and ended up spending more than buying one from the CMP.

I have an original config version of this. Now I want an FR8....

Thats cool..i was just looking up Israeli 98k because i found out the bayonet i have is Israeli made bayonet for 98k...no videos on the bayonet with the rifle though🤷
