Mauser question

[bsllvn]

DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE F8 MAUSERS DATED 1956 ON THE RECEIVERS CAL 308 OR 7.62X51?

[Richard Simmons]

They were 8x57 rifles converted to 7.62x51 by the Spanish. They were also reconfigured to resemble the CETME rifle for training purposes. IIRC they are a Model 1943 action. Most seem to be selling in the mid $200 range and seem quite safe in 7.62x51.

Richard -

Do you know of a website that talks about these?

And, what would I search for on Auction Arms to get a price check?

Thanks,
Bill
