I'm far from knowledgeable about Mausers. I've tried gurgling Châtellerault Mauser with exactly zero results. Someone's offering one for sale, minus a few trivial parts (like the bolt). It's barreled in 7.62 NATO, and he lists the manufacturer as Châtellerault. Anyone shed any light on this for me? My first thought is that it's some iteration of the Kar98, rebarrelled postwar to 7.62 by Châtellerault (thank God for copy-and-paste!), but that's just a wild guess. I don't see an icon for adding a photo, or I could show a blurry pic of the stampings on the receiver ring. Any ideas on what this might be?
