Hope this is the right subforum.
A friend of mine inherited this from his father 20+ years ago, sat in his closet until his wife (who is really anti-gun) found it and freaked out. After a quick trip (3 hour each way) to pick it up in a hurry before he or it was thrown out.
His father obtained it in the early to mid 80's supposedly from a "collector". His dad had told him way back before he inherited it that it was a "Chilean Mauser" and that is all he really knew.
There are no caliber markings on it that I can discern
It has "586" or might be "536" stamped on the bolt.
"2t 220" stamped in multiple places, I assume this is the serial number.
Looks like "6241" or "G6241" stamped on the wooden stock near the chamber.
There is a proof mark of some kind and text that my tired eyes are having a hard time making out near it. (it was a LONG day lol) (its in picture #5 below)
Barrel is 28 or 29 inches long, has cleaning rod.
I put a bunch of pics below, if more clear pictures or of different places are needed I will add them.
Any rough idea of value? He might want to sell it, want to get it ID'ed and cleaned/lubed up (if it wont hurt any value) first.
