The 7x57 Mauser, your thoughts.

Treeman · 2024-08-06T11:57:21Z

Today, after many years, I bought a 7x57 Mauser, a Bruno, im shocking first look condition. The rifle is in good condition, but was stored bolt open in the roof it appears, the dust is very thick. The rifle has some rust or blacking on barrel under the silencer and the barrel can not be seen down, the dust fluff is thick. a quick blow through revealed a good barrel with a thick layer of dried oil gunk in it - I am taking a chance, I think its saveable - I actually believe it has nothing wrong with it - just the dirtiest rifle I have ever seen.

The pitted barrel should be able to shoot lead bullets. Maybe look into ultra heavy (200gr?) lead bullets and a very short barrel for piggies at night?
