  1. Thank you for showing the bore as part of the process! Yeah most of the Czech Mauser rifles are in 7.92 x 57 mm more often called 8 mm Mauser, while a LOT of the various South American contract Mauser rifles were in 7 x 57 mm like yours! It's a great round and you've done a fantastic job bring that one back to shooting condiion.

  2.  @Graderman3587  Um actually, the 7 x 57mm which came out in 1892 is an OLDER round than the 7.92 x 57mm which came out in 1903. It was the 7 x57mm round used in the Model 1893 "Spainish" Mauser, in the Spanish American war that prompted the development of the Springfield Model of 1903 and the development of the .30-03 cartridge that was then modified to become the .03-06. You build rifles, I collect vintage military rifles and books on vintage military rifles and their history.

  3. They are close but no, the 7 x 57mm is not the same as the 7mm-08 Remington. The 7 x 57mm is longer than the 7mm-08 Remington which is actually only 51mm as it is based on the 7.62 x 51mm NATO round necked down to 7mm.
