[QUOTE="rugers, post: 1753743, member: 61920"] Thanks for pictures you have a small ring mauser most probably spanish by square bottom bolt, that # on side of action is the serial # it has been rebarreled and who ever did it obviously had some experiance because he added the later incorporated blow by hole in action. So if over pressure it blows out that hole and not back thru bolt into your face, do not be alarmed by non matching serial # on bolt or rest of rifle it was common, it was most probably made by a local gunsmith as sporterizing mausers was a common occurence in the 50,s. Nice gun. That all being said DO NOT LOAD TO TODAYS MODERN LOAD DATA. There is nothing wrong with velocity of the old rounds and with todays excellent bullets I'm quite sure it is a tack driver, most probably has a re shaw barrel on it which are good barrells, the safety is standard replacement for military safety, works good to. If you need new trigger timney makes drop in for that model that works real good. I have personally killed deer out to 500 yds with the old 7x57 just as dead as any other cartridge. Again nice rifle, if you want to hunt at longer ranges I would suggest you go with a newer caliber and rifle. [/QUOTE]
