Caliber question on Mauser NOW WITH PHOTOS
      27/04/18 12:55 AM

Won two sporting Mausers from an auction a few months back. Work has kept me from really looking them over. Poor description on the pair (sold as a pair) with incorrect calibers. I tried to post on one of them yesterday but had trouble posting photos due to the recent Photobucket changes.

So, first, what is a good hosting site so I can get some photos up?

Second, one built on a 98 action was listed as a .219 zipper. Based on the popularity of the .22 H.P. in Mausers I was expecting it to be that instead. Bottom of barrel marked

5.5 mm
52
839
245

I know the metric designation for 22 HP is 5.5x52mm so I will assume that to be correct until I can pull a chamber cast. All I have are fired brass and it doesn't want to chamber. Could just be blown out cases.

The rifle is marked on barrel" Otto Brock. Berlin"
