They were for the most part, rebarreled and rechambered by the Israeli's in 7.62x51 NATO. About twenty years ago on the surplus market. There were a lot of FN Mausers that made their way to Israel in the late 1940's-early 50's. If it will help, I can post the serial number. If I buy it I'll take it to my favorite gunsmith and have them check it out for me, but I'd appreciate any help y'all could give me ahead of time.
There is no chamber cut that I can tell that would give it away as being a.30-06 or something so I'm assuming it's an 8MM but I definitely would love to know if I'm anywhere close with that assumption.
1) Is there any way to tell exactly what model FN Mauser it is from the serial number? 2) Is there any way to tell the date of manufacture from the serial number? 3) There is no caliber stamped on the rifle. The rifle is just purely beautiful, but I think it's been sporterized (Kind of short stock+scope rings). I have the opportunity to buy an FN Mauser from a co-worker at my new job.
