I have in my lap an 1895 Chilean Mauser, made in Loewe Berlin that someone has sporterized and put a .308 barrel into. There are no other markings except matching serial numbers on floorplate, bolt and reciever. SN A564x.
The work looks like it was done professionally, like in a factory. It's been drilled and tapped already for a scope mount and modern rear sights. It's a nice, balanced gun that I fell in love with. The gunshop mentioned that he thought someone put these out several years ago with a 03 springfield 30.06 barrel converted to .308. It has a real nice Monte Carlo stock that I'll try to get pics of.
Anybody have any ideas on who did the conversion?
