M 93 is the spanish mauser and some of them got a new barrel in 7,62 Nato /308 Win in the 1950/60s so the mystery and misunderstanding is loosed

No mystery here. Tons of those small ring Mausers were sold here. Back in the 90's they were dirt cheap. Spanish .308s on the small ring actions. Some 91's also along with Turkish 93's and of course Spanish & Turkish 98 actions rebarreled to .308.

the mystery was that daryl mention a M 93 "I am reminded now, of a local chap who has a M93 commercially turned into a .308 Winchester. I've no idea where he got it from." which I identified here naturally as a Mannlicher M 93 ( the Romania Mannlicher). this would have been a little problem if reworked for the 308 Win so I suggest the Mannlicher M 1904 in 8x57I.
in the early 90s a M 93 spanisch mauser in 308 came close to be my first rifle for this cartridge but the dealer don't get it then and I bought a FR 8.
