[Guest Guntotn]

Hey Guys i had a phone call the other night and the guy said he had a 7mm rifle did I want to buy it and trusting as I am I said yes and bought it sight unseen well when it was delivered it turned out that its an WWII gun made by Fabric Arms in OVIEDO ( Spanish I guess) dated 1933 with a sereal # starting with REA witch I think means that the gun has been resleeved I know I got burnt on the gun but my question is how do I know what it fires I know my 7mm mag shells are way to big for the gun....anyone got any ideals?

is it a 98 style action or a 94.if it is a 94 i would not shoot it do you know how to tell them apart

Does it cock when you open the bolt or when you close it? What did you pay for it? You might not have gotten burnt.
