The linked hand are Argentine
and the action looks right but the rear sight on the barrel is someting else I believe. Do you know what it is chambered for? The Argentine should be 7.65X53. I'm guessing that is a 8MM barrel.

It's chambered in 7.65x53 Mauser. The rear sight is the Lange-Visier used on the German
Gewehr 98, I know that the Peruvians kept that style of sight on their Mausers. I just found out from a gent on another forum that the barreled action started out as an Argentine Mauser and was sold to Peru
where the Lange-Visier sight was added and the barrel shortened to 23.5". Thanks to all who gave assistance.
