I was going over some of the weapons I've inhereted and one of them is a Mauser made by FN for the government of Argentina chambered in 7x57mm Mauser.
The stock has been heavily damaged (incomplete attempt to sporterize) but the barrel, reciever and bolt are all matching serial numbers and aside from a thumb-print sized spot of missing blueing and pitting on the barrel a few inches behind the front sight, the weapon is in beautiful condition.
I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what model Mauser is would likely be or how to determine. And, where to look for a "correct" stock for it so I can restore it to that condition since the bolt, barrel and reciever are all matching and unaltered.
