Suhl Mauser questions
14/01/22 06:27 PM

I found this 8x57 Mauser languishing in a local gun shop and picked it up very cheap, and thought it would make an interesting project. I believe it's one of the Suhl guns, double set triggers, colour case hardened action, and with the barrel dated Aug, 1920 with a bore of 7.8mm.

The barrel and action are in excellent condition except for missing DST parts, and I like that it's never been drilled and tapped. The stock needs a lot of TLC, but at least it's not been cut for a recoil pad and still has the steel butt plate.

A couple of questions I hope the members can answered.

With the 7.8mm bore would this be a 8x57I at .318 groove diameter?

Is there any source for the missing trigger and other parts to restore the DST?

I'm assuming that with the lack of serial number on the bottom of the action that the action originated as a surplus military action.

Best regards, and thank you for any and all responses.
