This one has a Mauser Banner on the front receiver, 1933 Chinese marking on the left side of receiver. I bought this as a group of 3 from a gentleman moving to FL. He said all were 8mm Mauser and sold a bunch of ammo with the deal. Got to the range with 2 of them only to have problems. First shot keyholed at 25yd. Check the muzzle and a round easily drops all way in to the case mouth. OD of bullet is correct at .322~.323 and being very gentle with inside caliper I get approximately .335" diameter. So standard 8x57 bullet went rattling down the bore like a golf ball in a gutter pipe.. The rifling appears clean, shiny and sharp. Any guess as to what oddball rifle I picked up. This is obviously a parts gun as the bolt and other numbers do not match. Thoughts, or comments? I got pictures if you'd like to see.
