Hello, I just inherited what I think is a commercial or commercialized FN Mauser. My great-grandfather passed and I was given this. The pitting is bad, from storage, if I had to guess, so I'll not be rebuilding it and will use it for target shooting.
Info:
Weird thing is that the front sling mount is cut into a C shape. Mauser also appears to be smaller than the ones I have seen in the past.
Not that knowledgeable about the Mauser action so this is my first time actually handling one.
Thanks for the help in advance
Info:
- Caliber- Was told it's 8mm Mauser, but it hasn't been shot in a while. Checked the barrel, which looks clean with no obvious rust damage.
- 1933 stamped on the receviver.
- I.D number on the right side of the receiver. 313--
- Appears to have 8448 stamped on the safety.
- Lion over J.V stamped on the bolt. FAB. NAT D'ARMES de QUERRE HERSAL BELGIQUE stamped on the left side of the receiver.
