I picked up a Mauser, and I can't find any good identifying characteristics to help tell me when it was made. Are there any guides out there to help? It doesn't have the "98" stamped where I have seen it before, so through the power of deduction, I'm fairly sure it's a different model, but I can't find a serial number on it or anything. It does have "MA10" stamped on it, and "Manufactura Loeave_ _" next to that, but very worn.
Also, I want to be sure that it is safe to put 8mm rounds through this....from what I've read, it was common to rebore some of these rifles, and there were a handful of other calibers offered over the years.
