General Mauser Rifle Questions / Re: Low serial number model 98 help please
« on: January 25, 2017, 05:45:44 AM »
Thank you, I will take a few more pictures of the hallmarks as they are quite clear...except in the photo I posted, of course!
What about the caliber 30-06? I have 3 hunting rifles that were given to me. (1) 1917 Enfield rebarrelled for 30-338, (2) Mauser 98's one was rebarreld for 280-338, and the other we are discussing. I have read about the 8mm 8x57, 7x57, 7.92x57...etc. so question number two, is the 30-06 caliber original to this Mauser? Or is this another rebarrel? My grandfather was a gunsmith and these were his rifles then given to me.
I will post more photos that should help.
Thanks again
