Model 1908 The Model 1908 rifle was a copy of the Mauser Gewehr 98, chambered in
7×57mm Mauser and with a simple tangent-leaf sight and a longer upper hand-guard. A variant was also shortened to a -short rifle configuration.
Models 1935 and 08/34 The 7mm Mauser-made
Model 1935 rifle was similar to the Model 1908 but featured grasping grooves. A short rifle variant also existed. Not to be confused with the Czech-made Model 1908/34 police carbine (
Vz. 12/33), the
Model 1908/34 short rifle was an upgraded version of the Model 1908 using local wood. was a variant fitted with a threaded muzzle, that enabled the use of a
flash suppressor or of a
grenade launcher. Its buttplate was inspired by that of the
Gewehr 43 (a copy of which was manufactured under the same designation). The
Mosquetão 7,62mm Modelo 968 or M968 was one of the last Mauser service rifles produced. This rifle fired the
7.62×51mm NATO cartridge, a grenade launcher was fixed to its barrel and its stock was reinforced with
rubber. These features were also used on the FN FAL, hence the
Mosquefal nickname. == History and service ==
