    Mauser ID help needed

    I was at a local flea market today and my girl points out an action laying on the one tabe that I missed. I'm not a mauser man but know enough to be able to tell that's what it is. It cycled and fired fine so I figure since she pointed it out I couldn't dissappoint her so I bought it. So now I need some help guys what exactly did I get. It says FABRIQUE NATIONALE HERSTAL LIEGE on it. It has A7376 stamped into the reciever and the bolt. All parts have a small N in a box. There is also a T with a star over it and something that looks similar to an arrow on both reciever and bolt handle. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you in advance.

    I forgot to include some measurments. OAL 8 3/8", center to center bolts 7 5/8". I'm not sure with the dimensions but IIRC it looks like it could be from a 94 carbine.

    Looks like a Belgian made model 1894 small ring action. I have a babba'd one with the Brazilianicon crest in 7x57mm that I'm thinking about rebarreling in .250 Savage.

    I'll have to check that out. Could you post some pics. Someone else said they think its a spanish m1893. If you rebarrel it do you have plans for the original barrel.

    This is the best I could do. The markings are faint and the glare makes them hard to see. Pretty sure it ain't a Spanish 93, all of them I've seen were marked either Oviedo or DMW, Lowe Berlin.




    The barrel has been shortened and is shot out, thats why I'm replacing it otherwise I'd leave it in 7mm.
