Yes it does, except it only has the numbers and stamp in the rear portion. Knowing this history is very exciting for me and I feel even better about the trade knowing these facts. Wow that is amazing!! Thank you so much for the insight and taking the time to answer my questions. It looks like it received a new barrel in the process. I am not sure how your rifle found its way to the U. Few of these survived in any kind of collectable condition. Basically, it was one of many rifles assembled from various seconds and rejected parts for export to China. Thanks again for the prompt response really excited about the history of this weapon!! It is what is referred to as a Chinese Contract rifle. Has with an a below on left side with empty circle in wood below it also has sun stamp on right side and the same circle spot in the wood. Also stock was cut and capped about 8 in back from end of barrel. It is likely some type of Chinese export rifle. I've got one, and except for it being a kicker, it's a beautiful and fine rifle.Post pictures of the rifle and markings on receiver, bolt and stock. And definitely get a chamber cast to see if it's an 8mm, which it probably is since that's apparently a German army barrel. At first guess, I'd say it's a bring-back from WW 2. I can take some more pics and post them tomorrow. Many military rifles lacked chambering cartridge designations stamped on them as they weren't deemed necessary. Best bet on finding what cartridge it is chambered for is to do a Cerrosafe chamber casting.Įasy to do and a gunsmith can then measure to determine the chambering. National crests were ground off along with other markings. That was common practice for a lot of importers at one time. Looks like it's had all the original markings removed. Here are the pictures of the barrel stamps. I'd like to know the origin of the rifle if possible and make sure we shoot the correct ammo through it.Īny help would be appreciated. There are also several stamps on the barrel but I cannot correlate those stamps to anything. There are random stamps on the bottom of the receiver that appear to be from the workers that put the rifle together. There are no import stamps or caliber designating stamps on the receiver. I can't find any identifying marks on it that help me determine its origin. Its been in the family for over 40 years and I may have been purchased from a gun smith who was a WWII vet. Hoping someone can help me with identifying an 8mm mauser I have. Howdy, Stranger! It looks like you're new here.
