    7mm ribbed machine gun barrels

    Does anybody remember what these barrels were made for, what country, model, etc.? I believe that they are 7mm Mauser. I have three coated in cosmoline and one cleaned up for pictures.

    The Soviets had some barrels ribbed like that.

    You'd think they would have some sort of markings on them.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    I can't tell you what they fit but I had one and lathe turned it to fit a Russian 12 ga. single shot and made a 7 X 57 rifle for a friend. It's a great shooter and has taken a bunch of long range antelope.

    Any Does it have a gas port on it at all? Any gas ports? Any proof marks? My advice is go to Weapons Guild and ask there. Someone will know.

    No gas port. I know some guys used them on Mauser small rings and just left them full rib profile. A little garish for my tastes but it made them happy. I used one on a '93 Mauser but mine was a 4" @ 100 yards grouper so its no longer here.
