    OK help with Receiver ID please

    OK in another thread I talk about the Frankenmauser Barreled action I had traded for. Well I picked it up today and now I need some help figuring out what it is.

    What I know so far:

    Front ring is 1.430" in Diameter
    bolt spacing is 7.875"













    Can you guys tell anything from these photos of the various stampings on the receiver?

    I'm going to need all the parts for the Extractor assembly and the bolt stop.
    I didn't get a trigger but thats of no concern as I will be getting a fancy adjustable and possibly set trigger.

    Turns out the 1.187" D barrel is chambered in 30-06 and is 25.5" long (which I will loose a wee bit when I recrown it to remove the rust damage and to put a proper target crown on it.

    The bolt from what I can tell fits and rides very well Of course I will have a local (REAL) gunsmith check the headspacing and the barrel to receiver assembly before I do anything else.

    OH and of course the outside of the barrel was pretty rusty. Luckily the bore excaped the rust damage. And looks real nice.

    any help greatly appreciated

    The Z in the circle looks like a Polish or Czechicon proof... But no markings on the side rail. Perhaps they were removed or this is a commercial made Mauser.

    I'm guessing Czechicon. Markings ground off? Hard to tell.
