Mauser ID help needed

I decided to research some firearms I inherited from my uncle and came across the forum, helped me out a bunch. I got my dad interested in some details, and he grabbed his old .308 for me to look up info on. We're fairly sure it's a mix of parts, but the receiver and bolt both have the same serial number stamped in them and Swedish crosses all over the place. Any info on what model and maybe even the age and origin of the action would be appreciated.

Here's some pics, they can probably tell you more than I can as far as details








Thanks again for any info y'all can provide.

What you have is a Swiss made Schmidt Rubin straight pull rifle.

They really are nice rifles, but, never really piqued my interest, so I know little more about them.

I believe you have a Model 1911 Schmidt-Rubin rifle, rechambered for 308 Win.

That is a Swiss 1911 Schmidt-Rubin. I don't know anything about it being re-chambered to .308. I do know that some of the newer K-31's are re-chambered. Here is two good sites with active info.

Alright, so not a Mauser at all. It was rechambered to .308 years ago, my dad used it when he was a kid. As he remembers it he got it from a catalog as a military surplus rifle that'd been sporterized. Thanks again for all the info, I'll check out those sites.
