[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 1578747, member: 5391"] How about an Israeli Mauser? These are Standard KAR 98k rifles smuggled into Palestine (later the State of Israel) under the noses of the British, and used in the War of Independence. Later, when most of NATO standardized on the 7.62mm NATO round, the Israelis re-barreled most of their Mausers to 7.62mm NATO, added Israeli proofmarks to the German Waffenamt proofmark, and used them as secondary issue for quite a while, IIRC up to the Yom Kippur War in 1973. I know that they saw a lot of use in the Six Day War in 1967. If the Israelis did not have a problem using NAZI rifles, I sure as hell ain't going to. [/QUOTE]
