howdy folks. Like the title says, really need help with this one.
i recently acquired a 1906 spanish mauser in 7mm. 22" barrel, has left thumb cutout for stripper clip. It says Oviedo fabrica de armas. So it is spanish made from what i have gather so far and it is not the model 1916. most likely 1896.
It came with half of a cleaning rod. It's about 5" long and has a female screw adapter. I don't know what size cleaning rod that I should look for.
Also there's a term with mausers: small ring and large ring mausers. What is the difference between the 2 and what category does mine fall into"
Can mausers scope mount work with this thing? I have seen a peep/ ghost ring sight on google image. which one would work and does it require permanent modifications/gunsmith expertise.
Thanks guys. I love this thing. Ammo is not as cheap as other milsurp weapons but it definitely has broader applications. I took it to the range and from 50 yards if i do my part, i can get 4" groups out of this thing. Hopefully i can do better with better sighting options.
