Karabiner 98 AZ

8x57

This is a puzzler for me. All reference material I have on this depicts that the AZ bayonet lug was much close to the muzzle. In fact, the bayonet lug pictured below shows the space where the front sight band would fit. This is a low serial number (8845) Erfurt 1916 make.

Update:

One of my viewers tells me that this is likely a Turk variant:

It is a "Turk" conversion using a 98az action, etc. to make a K98k type rifle. A 98az will have a bent bolt with cut-out in stock for it. A bunch of these were imported a few years ago." - Jack...
