I have an FR-8 Spainish Mauser that is stamped with a manufacture year of 1951. The bore is in good shape and overall the rifle is in very good condition with what looks to be its original finish. However, at the front of the receiver in a 1/4" spot just in front of the roll-marked stamp, some pitting has occured. The pitting is normally hidden by the handguard. Is this a safe condition for this particular type of rifle or am I playing with a pipe bomb?
