Ghostrider,
I made comments on GGCA forum. I only viewed 1 page of photos and didn't see the underside of the barrel. It may have been rebarreled rather than rechambered, as I opined there. In any case it became 8x60 in 1930 as stated by Raimey. If the barrel has the serial number, please post a photo. If there is no serial number, or if it is a different font; it is likely a new barrel.

Is the number "31" on any other components? What is/are the stamp/stamps to the right of these marks on the receiver?




I'd say a rebarrel.

Cheers,

31 is not marked anywhere else on the rifle. All parts are marked with the last 2 or 3 digets of the Serial number. I looked the barrel over under a 10x and could not find a serial number. I think the feedback i have recieved that this is a re barrel is correct if I am to understand that the reciever by S/N predates the barrel.
I really have no knowledge of Mausers but find after doing some reseach that there may be a possibility that the owner in Germany might have had it rebarreled in order to meet the requirements of the Treaty of Versailles? Hense the 8x60 mm. Just a therory but if a rifle was to be in compliance it could not me a military caliber if I understand correctly. Raimey here is another picture I think the marks in the picture is due to the lighting and nicks.

Yes, that is possible but it passed thru the Suhl proof facility in March of 1930 in the final or completed state. Easily could be an older action w/ a new Krupp tube. I assume there isn't a name atop the rib?

I believe the rifle was rechambered in 1930, rather than rebarreled. My reasoning is posted in the thread in the GGCA forum.

So where's the Crown over R Ford. Or was the wares of Mauser not subject to the repair portion of the German law?
