I was moving my ammo stash and "discovered" 500 rounds of NATO Espanol 7.62x51 that I had forgotten about. I looked this stuff up and apparently, it's downloaded 7.62x51 for old converted Mausers. I pulled this piece of crap gun out of my closet that I had obtained from my father in law and sure enough, it's a MAUSER CHILENO MODELO 1895.
Man, this thing is rough. If I could find a decent sporter stock for it, I might think about keeping it. But, I'm not even sure if this thing is safe to fire. If I could find a decent reasonably priced stock for it, I MIGHT think about keeping it. But, I shoot guns, not collect them. If this thing isn't a shooter and would cost too much to get into shooting condition, I'll probably look for a good home for it. Any advise?
