I have been trying to find a strait answer on if these guns will safely fire commercial .308 ammo. I stumbled across one I really like. It's numbers matching, bore is great. I have been looking for a rifle that will take the same ammo as the mg42 in 308 I am building. But is there someone who can say yes or no for sure? I have read it was ammunition that caused issues, that they are fine with commercial ammo, and more that says that they were intended as low use rifles so they could shoot .308, just not often. Then there is the argument that both rounds have the same pressure, its just measured differently for each round. My head is spinning!
How To Date A Spanish Mauser For A
Just another 7x57 Spanish Mauser story..... I got the rifle many years ago for free with no bolt or sights and a cracked up sporterized mil. stock. Over the years I did work on it, bought a bolt for 20 bucks, pulled the barrel and stripped the old rusted up blue off and set the head space to .004. Had it drilled and tapped for scope base mounts (120 bucks later.. ouch!). Bought some 1 inch ring mounts. Releived the bolt handle to clear an old scope my good old brother had laying around that he genourously gave to me . Did some build up on the trigger and changed the spring. Found another banged up but usable sporter mil. stock for 10 bucks and did a boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits sanded-in mud finish which was topped off with 7 coats of Truoil and a final Truoil and rottenstone polish finish.
At 100 yards and surplus Spanish ammo (from 1973) it stayed in the black after some scope dialing until the barrel heated up. Some fresh hunting ammo and another day at the range should make it a keeper! GI1
