Help with Gun Identification

[michaelcj]

That sure looks like a 98 Mauser bolt to me shroud safety and all. Have no clue about the barreled action.

Your right about the 98 mauser bolt i put it there for some scale

Which is identified here by the owner as sporterized Mauser 71 ...

Not quite. He says he believes it is a M71.

I actually have one of these rifles in th shop right now, and I am going to talk to the owner about where it came feom and if he knows what it is.

I want to thank you all for all your help. I must say for a first post i got most of the information i needed to identify this rifle. Now comes the hard part, one, finding a bolt to make it whole again or finding an owner who needs a good parts set. Hopefuly i can find the parts so i dont end up giving it away.

Some further information. The bore is about 3/8th or 9.5 mm and a 45 long colt will not go in all the way. I put one in the breach and the bullet hits the bore before the rim seats. (i was never going to try firing it). Any idea what round this one might be chambered for?

See above, the caliber is 9.3 mm. If it's a rimmed cartridge, probably 9.3x72 (obsolete today).
