Trust nothing-verify. My 1908 was rechambered at some point to 8x60s and is so marked ahead of the receiver on the left side of the barrel. Sometime later it was rechambered again to 8mm-06, or at least it almost was…

The 8mm-06 chamber in this rifle won’t chamber a reformed cartridge that is any longer than 62mm. This information isn’t marked on the gun. The seller was given the information from an estate seller, and had a note to that end tucked into the buttstock storage area.

The magazine spool was “modified” ( read butchered) to feed the two, sometimes three rounds the magazine can hold.

The action is still really smooth, the rifle is accurate, but what a dog’s breakfast!
