OT Mauser rifle hints?

Roadkill · 06-06-2002, 04:07 PM

Double check the caliber, without my books here (still playing army) the only 7MM I know off the top of my head is the Spanish Mauser used in the Spanish American War, made by Ovedia (?) arms factory in Spain under German License.With the exception of the Chinese ones I'd fire most any of them today after checking head space. Poor man's head space guage, use a quality business card, insert in front of bolt and close. If the card can be pulled out then its too loose, if bolt won't close then too tight.
