Could someone tell me what this once was? I know it's not worth anything now and has been butchered as far a collectible, but my dad did it himself in the early sixties. He passed away a few years ago and my mom gave it to me. I remember when he bought it, and I swear I think he got it from an auto parts store. I remember it was long, or seemed that way when I was a kid. I played army with the empty stock for years. He whittled on the sport stock for weeks.

Just wanted to ask what it was called when it was new, and what caliber it might have been. I don't have any plans of shooting it even if it was safe. My dad moved onto modern hunting rifles later but took a lot of deer with this one when I was young. It sat in the back of his safe all the rest of his life and he always just called it the 'Old Mauser'. Thanks for any info ~ Harlan
