Mauser Action marking

[greisdor]

Would anyone know what this marking is? Its on the bottom of the action just back of the barrel.

A proof marking from the mfg. quite common in Mausers civilian or military. And what is likely a inspection marking, for who knows.
Can't be of much help in identifying the receiver, without the rest of the marks either on top of the receiver or along the side.
I know CZ used to use a number and a z in a circle in the same position as a proof mark on they're M98s.
Different german military mausers all have/had them in different shapes etc.
Look up mauser proof marks on google and look at pics if you find a similar.
Or give us the rest of the markings and that triangle with the 'I' shape in will match with the mfg.
I'm no expert in Mausers,

There are no other markings on the barrel or the action. The only proof marking on line that I saw is a triangle with an arrow inside.

Those look like random factory inspection marks. Unfortunately, it won't tell you much about the origins of the Mauser.

That's not a mauser, It's Either a P17 Enfield or a P14 Enfield.

Please post more pics

That's a p14 i'm almost sure, That looks like a broad arrow that has been stamped over to me.

it could be a 93-96 sm ring . Need more pics . Looks like a Spanish mark or British

 

[Sniperhandle]

No mausers have that square notch for the mag box to fit into, The p17 and p14 do.

 

[Ggmac]

Good eye . British then , not because of the possibility of it being an arrow , but the proof mark , upside down that looks like a birds beak

 

[Sniperhandle]

Good eye

Why, Thank you!

 

[Sniperhandle]

My next question would be, Is this a 30-06 or a 303 British?

 

[Ggmac]

Need to see extractor

Sporterised P17.

 

[Ggmac]

yup , century international arms made hundreds in many cal including 300 win mag , 7 mm rem mag and possibly 338 win mag . Most were just rechambered to 300 win mag or left in original cal . Need bolt face pic

That's not a mauser, It's Either a P17 Enfield or a P14 Enfield.

Good eye!

 

[greisdor]

Educated - not a mauser….

 

[Ggmac]

30-06 bolt face but I suggest checking the chamber with cerrosafe or alternate. The bolts are easily replaced and it could be almost any chambering .
Does the ser num match the receiver?

A small correction, no P17 were ever made. They are M17. Yours is an Enfield and appears to be an early conversion to a hunting rifle.
