Hi Gert! I am still curious to get answers to these questions about your rifle. If you have the time please let us know. Thanks!Nice. If its an FN rifle it will say Fabrique National on the side of the receiver wall. Israeli rifles all had 7.62 across the front receiver ring and original stocks said 7.62 on the bottom rear near the buttplate. Your gun looks to have been modified somewhat to accommodate the scope. The bolt handle has been changed etc. The stock looks more like an M48 stock, especially the handguard-rear sight set up, handguard also shortened, not typical K98. Not trying to beat up on your rifle here just noting what appear to be modifications. Does yours exhibit the things I mention? In addition an FN purpose built Israeli rifle will show the Israeli crest on the front ring along with the 7.62 whereas most of the re-arsenaled guns did not have the crest, just the cal designation. I wonder if what you have is a Mauser that has been re-barreled to .308 Win. Please let us know what you find. Interesting
