Thank you for the advice everyone, I will certainly take the rifle to a gunsmith and have it checked before I ever decide to fire it again.
I especially appreciate your input Scorch. The "Cal 308" stamp is right where you said it would be, on top of the front ring.

Although it is very probably safe to fire these rifles with 7.62X51mm military ball ammo, I would not feed it a stready diet of these loads, as the action may stretch and develop headspace issues over time.

My question now, Scorch, is f I can't shoot 7.62x51 ball, would FMJ .308 be the alternative, or do you suggest another variant?
