I recently acquired a Spanish Mauser which after a little research turns out to be a Model 1916. The person I bought it from said it is a 308. Underneath the front sight just sort of the barrel is stamped
Oviedo Spain M1916
SAMCO MIA FL 308W
I have read a great deal of opinions discussing commercial 308 Winchester as being too hot for these rifles. Others claim they have been shooting 308 Winchester in theirs for years. It is a very good looking gun and I want to keep it that way. Anybody have any experience with these rifles?
