Rifles > General Mauser Rifle Questions
Trying to be sure this is a Mauser 43

It doesn't appear to be an Isreali rework, more likely a S. American country. Several of them reworked their Mausers to 7.62 Nato. I'd say that, yes it is safe to shoot Nato/308 ammo thru - both military & commercial, but I would not shoot any hot hand loads to be on the safe side. Sarge

Hello Sarge
I can answer your question easily, because there are only the caliber and the serial number marked on receiver. The top of it is absolutely clear. There is nothing on it.
Meanwhile I checked the small stamp on my rifle yesterday. Picture attached.
Thank you.

Didn't get a photo. I'd guess that what you have is a scrubbed German or Polish Mauser sent to the Franco forces in the mid/late 30s. Sarge
Oerdescu:
I've taken photos of the disassembled rifle. I tried to show all signs, marks, letters and numbers punched into the metal parts.
I hope pictures can help to establish the origin of my Mauser.

Thank you guys!

The only thing I can say for sure is that it is a late 50s rebuild with a new bbl chambered in 7.62 Nato cal. It was probably originally a Mod 91 or 93 Mauser as evidenced by the bolt, as these are what most of those rebuilds were. Sarge
