@OctoberRevolution1 I have said that about many rifles. Russian SKS, M1 Garand, 1903 Springfield, Chatellerault M91 Mosin Nagant, K98. Patience is a big factor, then pulling the trigger on the right deal. You'll get there, you just gotta play your cards for a while, and lay them out when the time is right.
Here's an interesting thing,7.92x57 is usualy reffered to as 8mm Mauser and if you look at the round dimmensions which someone has kindly posted on Wiki with the link to where it came from too,the 7.92 is avtually bigger than 8mm ,8.09mm around the waist of the bullet,on measuring some rounds i have here they are 8.20mm in diameter around the waist of the bullet,talk about huge variances in dimensions!!
The S on the barrel means .323 inch diameter bullet. Use 8mm mauser JS ammo ie common surplus. If not already a member check out the surplusrifle fourm. Cheers
Ok thats good info. I am not as well read up on Mausers and Mauser ammunition as I am compared to Mosin Nagants. You suppose I could find a stock on the surplusrifle forums? I have certainly frequented the sight many, probably hundreds of time seeking info and the pictorial disassembly sequences of various firearms.
I got a Gew98 off of Gunbroker that is missing the spring follower and was used as a single shot, was a vet bringback for the dufflecut in the stock, not bad for what it was.
Good video there Marshal, look forward to more videos, good find.
