The third 7.92 cartridge is 7.92x33 Kurz which, as far as I know, was only ever chambered in the MP-44 assault rifle. The J round is obsolete and hasn't been chambered in a military rifle since the 1890's though there were some commercial sporting rifles chambered in it made well into the 20th century. The difference between the J and JS cartridges is the bullet diameter as the J uses a. The next is 7.92x57JS Mauser which is the same as 8x57JS Mauser. The first is 7.92x57J Mauser which is the same thing as 8x57J Mauser. In my mind, the only thing rebarreling would accomplish would be ruining the collector value of the rifle.Īlso, there are only three 7.92 cartridges that I am aware of. Good quality JSP 8mm Mauser isn't significantly more expensive than comparable 30-06. Also, 8mm surplus ammunition is very inexpensive while 30-06 surplus is becoming scarcer and more expensive all the time. 8mm Mauser is very similar ballistically to 30-06 and I doubt that anything you shoot with either one would know the difference. In my opinion, rebarreling to a different caliber isn't worth the trouble.

Should I just leave it alone as far refinishing, and is there anywhere that provides finished walnut stock sets? This gun is all-original, so I'd be more likely to sell it than to try to turn it into something it isn't, but I'm also not a collector so having a pro do a superb restoration job wouldn't bother me much. Here are some shots to provide some idea of the condition, if that helps: One would only refinish if they knew they'd never want to sell it, correct? Is there anyone known to specialize in refinishing these rifles (as opposed to a guy with a can of GunKote in his garage)? I'd certainly like to see it in a near-black matter Parkerized type finish. If you were to keep the rifle would you refinish it, and if so, who could do a credible job given the existing finish (whatever it is). So, there's the predictable 'what would you do' question. The finish is the only think that takes away something, and the stock, while in excellent shape, doesn't appear to be a very nice wood.
The bore is in mint condition and most of the gun is in what I'd call very good condition. I'm fortunate enough to have a Luxembourg model, and am the only person to have owned the rifle since its import into the US. I'm happy to have found this thread-maybe you guys can give me some advice.
