I have one with a bore marking of "222,5" any idea what it might be chambered for. that is all it is marked "B" "U" "222,5". No apparent makers marks. Thanks Larry

That's a plug gauge for 7mm. Any idea on the length?

Kind Regards,

Thanks for a copy of that chart. I will try to get a chamber casting today. Thanks, Larry

Casting showed caliber to be 7x57mm. It appears to have a single set trigger but if you push it forward it fires. I seems to be an inter war Mauser in a condition that seems to be restorable. The rear sight is the 1000 Meter single leaf/tangent type. What do you think???? Larry

I am no expert on these but think that this is an early (pre-WWI?), original Mauser Oberndorf sporter.
With kind regards,

Larry,
If I read the number correctly, #13157 should date the rifle to 1906.
With kind regards,

I agree with Jani. A quick way to tell is to see if the rear of the magazine box is marked with the serial number(at least mauser actions sold to others were so marked).

Nice old Mauser Larry, I don't think it is a set trigger at all, that springy thingy just takes out the two stage military trigger and makes it a straight pull.

And yes the gun might fire / will fire when the trigger is pushed forward, the mechanics are the same as if pulled the trigger eg. it brings down the "sear". FWIW --- John

Jani,
You have the serial number correct and there is a serial number on the rear of the magazine. The action measures 16.2 CM. Is that the medium commercial action?
