Hello, I'm posting again about the drilling I just bought. The seller says the rifle caliber is 7x57R, but I want to be sure, so will there be any marks on the gun that will confirm this? And if so, what do I look for?

Thanks so much!!!!

Greg

Yes you can tell for sure as most have the caliber punch marked onto the barrel itself. Rarely were these chambers recut without having been re-marked due to the fact that in Germany they would have needed to be re-proofed. If there are no markings a chamber cast can easily be done. If you check out the posting just above, re got Drilling with Pics, you can easily see how the caliber is marked.
