I 'll leave this on alone for a while. Bore is very good. Wrong bolt release?

Very nice. Looks close to mint, how's the rest of it?

OK

The bolt release is correct for the FN made Peruvian Model 1935.

Richji when you do build a custom out of it I am interested in the stock & hardware.

Better yet... If it's a carbine/short rifle w/matching number's..

You should sell it to me.. She'll stay the way she is the rest of my life..

There's plenty of clunkers with good actions out there. No use destroying a piece of good Mauser history..

bad news. it's been reamed to '06.

Back in the '70's, my brother got one that was sporterized and reamed to '06. He had terrible accuracy so I slugged the bore and found it ran .312" IIRC.

Yea The store wanted it back. I talked to a gunsmith, he said that was a common conversion with the 7.65 mausers.

Funny i did see an Argy at a show a few months ago marked 30/06.

Thank you.

doesn't the notch in the receiver ring mark it as chambered in '06?

I'm not sure. I thought the rebarreled ones were stamped 30 on the rear ring.
