A mauser followed me home from the pawn shop a couple weeks ago.
She's been neglected but not abused. Seems like she was a deer rifle that laid around after he couldn't use her anymore. I imagine it was a "settling the parent's estate" thing. The scope is right on top of where the best info would be. And I don't want to remove that if I don't have to. The receiver and barrel match.
You can tell it was T bloc, the "Gew 9x" is very faded and I can't tell if it's 98 or 93. I just bought a 8mm no go gauge to see if she's unsafe headspace wise. Should I be concerned that this isn't a standard 98, 8mm mauser?
