Folks,
I stopped in a gun shop to get a hunting license. As I was about to leave, one of the clerks said he had a Mauser that I might want. He went into the back of the store and reappeared with a lovely sporterized 1909 Mauser with a scope. Someone brought the rifle in to determine what ammo to feed it. Turns out it was rechambered to a.30-06 as verified by the shop gunsmith. It has the original barrel cut at 24 inches which is 7.65X53mm. So .308"bullets will rattle down the .311" bore. I now have a 7.65x06 that cost $150.00. I might try to load some .311" bullets in a .30-06 case and do a test fire.

Someone spend a lot of time and money to convert this rifle. The military stock was skillfully reshaped and contoured into a very nice sporter stock. It is drilled and tapped with scope bases, rings and a scope. The bolt has been bent to clear a scope and features a low scope safety. The local gunsmith can set the barrel back, rethread the barrel and rechamber it back to a 7.65x53mm. I think this will be rebarreled to a .257 Roberts or a 7x57mm Mauser. All the best...
Gil

Yea buddy,
Nice find for sure. Might want to slug the barrel to find out the exact bore diameter and then pick your bullets from there. You probably need to check with RCBS customer service and see what you may need in the way of a sizing and seating die.
Sounds like a good project rifle.

popgun,
I ordered a 7x57mm Adams & Bennett Mauser barrel from Midway. The local gunsmith will rebarrel the rifle. All the best...
