we did find some 7mm Mauser in the ammo pile that came with this estate, so it makes more sense now, too bad the ammo was 300 miles from me when testing.
alright got the chamber cast this morning, it appears to be very very close to the 7x57, its all within a few hundredths of the case dimensions i pulled up online for that round.
the back one sets it and the front one is so light you breath on it and it will trip.
in this lot there were a few that had the double trigger on them. have not gotten around to all of them yet.
definitely a short chamber , a 270 fits well minus length and its probably close to half the length.

I got this from a machinist that had done very well for himself and it was in his will to sell the lot of guns in his estate to me for a disclosed amount, he knew his family wouldn't appreciate the collection. I'm just now getting around to looking to see what we actually got. There were several...
i tried a few different pieces of brass that i got when we got this gun, 270 base fit pretty well but too long or too fat to go into chamber, i also tried a 8mm Mauser and it was a little looser on bolt face but still too long or fat.
after a long wait i got it back. 3 months more than quoted
custom:
it had the fiber optic sites put on
but of gun rounded
barrel flush cut and crowned
checkered front strap 20lpi
ion bonded the whole thing
small single sided safety
extras it appeared to have,
it is smoother around...
