I was leafing through my ctgs of the world book the other day and noticed there was some old European ctgs like the 8x52 that were designed for the old model K action mausers im guessing these were all pre ww2 maybe even pre ww1 . Anyone ever see one of these short action mausers? I know I never have , were they imported into the US ? curious if the action length itself was shorter or just a shorter box magazine because we're only talking a 5mm difference usingthe 8x52 as example .
