Recently saw a GEW88 barreled action on fleabay. Seller had stripped the rifle and sold off a lot of the parts. Described barrel as being shiny with good rifling. So, took a chance. When it came in today, I looked it over. Marked on the side GEW 88, as normal. NO arsenal mark or date. Only one proof mark on receiver. Barrel is very nice looking. No serial number on barrel, on the 'Z' in a circle. Made a chamber cast, and it is the 8X57I. Throat measures .318. Bore measures .307, grooves .318. My other '88's have many marks everywhere, this one very few. Anyone have any idea when this was made and where? The barrel is very clean, and sharp rifling. Thanks!!
