[QUOTE="rugers, post: 1753400, member: 61920"] From what I've read I think you have a 7x57 mauser rifle. It's a good rifle but I strongly suggest before you go to reloading it to take it to a gunsmith familiar with mauser rifles. It is most probably a small ring which could probably pre date ww1. Some are pretty strong some are not, with out markings you really got to know mauser rifles and most gunsmiths to day dont. Some of the spanish and Turkish mausers are not made to handle modern 7x57 rounds. Although a common customized rifle years back they did not remove the serial # they usually removed the crests and date. If it's a oberndorf you got something to work with.But again with out seeing it I cant really say. But the most common are spanish,turkish and mexican all of which are questionable with modern reloads. Until you can verify exactly what it is stay with factory ammo. They can and will blow up!!!
