Jim:
As I was searching for more information, peep w/cross hair, rear sight I ran across reference to the 1903 Springfield and Mauser 1936 Model.
This rifle, as is indicated, is the Mexican Mauser, mfg's from 1936-1951, by Fabrica Nacional de Armas, Mexico City, in calibre 7X57. This rifle combined an 1898 type Mauser action with bands, nose cap and cocking piece of the US M1903 Springfield rifle. It also has American style swivels on the butt and barrel band, with an open stacking swivel on the nose cap.
This rifle was later modified to use the US 30-06 cartridge.
