Hi Guys,

I'm looking at buying a Chileanicon Mauser from a gunshop in my area. The owner thought it was 8mm (hasn't checked), but I thought they only came in 7mm??

Can anyone answer this one for me? This will be my first ex-mil Mauser if I bought it, and I've only ever heard of Chilean Mausers being 7x57.

This one is unmodified and in pretty darn good condition so no conversion is likely and there are no non-canon markings on it so I don't think it was requisitioned by another army..
