I dug into the safe today to get a 38-55 out, and because I also dug out this Israeli Mauser I bought over 10 years ago off gun broker and just didn't bother after when I found out it won't chamber a round.
Serial numbers for bolt and receiver match, it is in excellent shape the bore is mirror bright. Problem is I can't shoot it because the issue of it not chambering a .308 or 7.62x51mm. I tried again today slipped a empty casing in the chamber, seem to fit fine but bolt won't close. I don't want to try a live round in the home.
Thoughts? By the way is this a VZ24 Mauser?
