=== Kar98k NATO ===
''Like the Karabiner 98k or the Mauser action but wish it was in a slightly more common caliber? With this conversion, your classic rifle can now use [[7.62x51mm NATO]]. Now, when people try to correct you after saying it's ".30 caliber", you can correct them right back. As a bonus, this mod is compatible with the stripper clip for the [[Ishapore 2A1]].''

''This modification removes the original floorplate, and installs a large internal magazine body, spring, and floorplate, extending the capacity from 5 rounds to 25 rounds. This is still a non-detachable magazine; you will still need loose rounds or stripper clips to reload it. Don't bust your thumbs!''
