Spanish M43 La Coruna 1951, 8x57 ?

[dttuner]

Caliber 8x57?

Numbers matching, which is nice.
Stock has zero finish left. May have master carpenter friend refinish it (opinions?)

The steel bayonet "extension" is bashed-up from previous owner.
What was this extension for?
(removed it because couldn't fully strip the rifle)

Cleaning rod missing. Otherwise, a strong looking shooter.
I'm also dropping some pics of the ammo I got with the deal. Hoping it's the right ammo, so I can take 'er for a spin.

How do I remove rear sling mount from stock, for refinishing?
