Inherited a rifle recently. Stamped 1925 SHT Le III ,but looks to have been FTR 1931 from the stamp on the other side of receiver. The bolt serial number does not match the receiver serial number . The rifle was reconditioned in 1994 by a "professional". I recently took rifle to a local
gunsmith to check for safety as I would like to fire the rifle. Here is the really wierd part.
The gunsmith said it was safe to fire but to never fire .308 , only 7.62x51 . Whaaaat...????
This is a .303 right ? Is this even possible or are these guys all wet ? Posted some pictures.
Thanks for the help.....
