7.62mm Mauser

[Calif-Steve]

I was out at the range this AM.. Lovely day! I took my 7.62mm Mauser out to shoot. Chile re-barrel with USGI Remington 2 groove barrel. Receiver top is marked: MODELO 1912. Faintly stamped under this date is NATO. The left side rail is marked: WAFFENFABRIK STEYR AUSTRIA, The serial number is C736x. Estimating 10,000 for the initial block, then add serial number block A 10,000 and 10,000 for block B and 10,000 for block C, this was at least a 40,000 rifle purchase in 1912. Hope I have that right. Nice shooter as well.
