The Model M968 carbine is a variant of the earlier 1908 DWM Brazilian Mauser rifle and is used by the Brazilian Army for basic training.
The Model M968 carbine is unofficially referred to as the "Mosquefal" due to modifications that enable it to use the ammunition and rifle grenade accessories of the FAL.

The MQ M968 bayonet is a modification of earlier M1908 knife bayonets used with the 7mm Brazilian Mauser M1908 rifle.
The blade was cut down from 11.75 inches to 6.50 inches and was parkerized.
The original hooked crosspiece has been replaced by a straight crosspiece that has a much larger muzzle ring than the original.
The plastic scabbard has a nylon web belt frog.
The frog has a wire belt hanger to attach to a US style pistol belt.
This scabbard was made especially for use with the MQ M968 bayonet.
