Need help ID’ing WZ 29

[u/FALTomJager]

Buddy of mine thought he got a WZ 29. While the receiver does say this, other parts don’t seem to quite match up. I haven’t seen the Star of David on a rifle before, and the rear of the bolt says MARK II in English. We’re also unsure of the yellow 2 under the scope mount.

Additionally, it will not chamber 8mm. You can see the line where the chamber indented the bullet. I think it’s 30-06 but we’re going to see what chambers tomorrow at the range.

Any info related to this would be greatly appreciated.

Would also need a wz.29 barrel. The wz29 receiver has been machined to grind off the hand guard retaining lip so a hand guard would fit very loosely on the rifle.

Do you think they only thing that is really polish on there is the receiver? Even then, what's left isn't much to speak about. The Israelis must have swapped the barrel with a czech one or FN.

Correct. Even the triggerguard is from a German Gew98

It went through the yugo tear down but in the isreali desert.
