FN M1930 (?) Mauser, Chinese contract.
Found this today, a pretty decent FN Mauser. I believe the model is the M1930? Actually a pretty decent piece, has some Chinese characters on the butt, guessing that this was a Chinese contract rifle. Any ideas as to the meaning of the writing?

How is the bore? They're often very worn.

Markings
My wife took a hard look this evening at the buttstock. She thinks you have Japanese markings on the stock. She does not think the characters are Chinese at all. I hope this helps a little.

Japanese? Now that's kind of interesting.

Similar 1930 FN
Anzac - I also recently came up with a very similar 1930 FN Mauser. I posted on Gunboards and received a lot of positive comments. Since your rifle's serial is in the 79xxx range and mine is in the 71xxx range, a lot of those comments would apply to your rifle. Of course, I have no idea on your oriental buttstock markings, as my rifle likely did not make it overseas. The other postings would likely be of interest to you. Regards.
