7.62mm Mauser

**Calif-Steve** · 08-20-2010 06:21 PM

I was out at the range this AM.. Lovely day! I took my 7.62mm Mauser out to shoot. Chile icon

re-barrel with USGI Remington 2 groove barrel. Receiver top is marked: MODELO 1912. Faintly stamped under this date is NATO. The left side rail is marked: WAFFENFABRIK STEYR AUSTRIA, The serial number is C736x. Estimating 10,000 for the initial block, then add serial number block A 10,000 and 10,000 for block B and 10,000 for block C, this was at least a 40,000 rifle purchase in 1912. Hope I have that right. Nice shooter as well.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Not to hijack your thread, but I am just getting around to tearing down one I bought months ago. How can you tell if it is an 03 barrel? I can see no marks on the barrel other than a stamped #. Thanks for the help.

It is a 2 groove barrel that is identical to a Remington 2 groove. The exterior of the barrel has been contoured to a Mauser shape. So no markings I can see. Also, the barrel does not mount flush with the receiver. This is a common problem when using '03 barrels on Mausers. So, this is a "looks like a duck" matter.
