Thanks joel
That is very cool and a bit enlightening. Is it chambered in 8x57 or in 8x50R ??? Years back a friend had a BSA P-14 stamped very similarly ( 7.92mm ) that was chambered for the 8x50R. It was in a american replacement 1960's stock so no thought at the time that it may be "factory". We had always thought it was a .303 that had shot out and bored/chambered to x50R.......maybe not ???
