Clean FEG (jhv) G98/40 - 1943 mfg

Description

12/30/24 - This is a rare German issued rifle, made in 1943 at the FEG factory in Hungary. These rifles were originally manufactured during the early part of WWII as the Hungarian model 35, at the Metal Goods and Weapons Factory, Budapest, Hungary. After the take over of the Hungarian factory by the Germans these rifles were designated the model G98/40 and the factory was given the wartime code of "jhv". This rifle is similar in function and operation to the standard K98 rifle with nearly identical front and rear sights, making training and reissue very easy. This example is made in 1943 and is in good condition overall. The receiver and barrel have been refinished with a matte bluing. The stock is in great shape with no cracks or breaks. The rear stock has been lightly sanded. The front barrel band has pitting. The bore is on the darker side with worn rifling and has visible pitting. The bolt body and receiver match, but the rest of the gun is mismatched.
