We're going to need more information, and probably pictures, in order to give you the correct answer.

Well, 7.92 is generally the marking for 8mm Mauser, aka 7.92x57.
The most common rifles chambered for that cartridge are the various Mauser-designed/made military rifles. We're going to need all the markings that are on the gun, and very likely good, clear pictures to figure out exactly what you have.
