Hello everyone!
I picked up a sporterized mauser today and I am trying to identify the reciever. I'm enjoying the hunt and searching through images and forums, but I figured I'd post a picture and ask you all if you have any ideas. First off, a new barrel had been added, marked 30-06 with "williams" along the side of the rear sight. Looking all over the reciever all I could see was serial numbers. I took off the scope mounts and there were no markings whatsoever. When I removed the stock I found a z in a circle, the numbers 96 along the left side by the trigger, and a hardly visible mark along the trigger. There are also a few random numbers along the reciever. So far. In my searches I came across a picture with the underside of the reciever having the exact same z in a circle, while people in the thread at first said "interarms mark x made by zastava" and then someone else came along and said "looks like a czech proof mark" the thread seemed to teter off. Here is a picture of the underside of my reciever
Any ideas or speculations are welcomed and thanked heartily!
