Nice MWM!

7mm is a great cartridge. My first Centerfire Rifle was a Chilean 7mm Mauser. I bought it from a catalog, made before 1900 so I could order without an FFL. It was in ruff shape no bluing and the wood was almost black from years of cosmo, so I refinished. Then I refinished it again later, I wanted it to look a little worn and not so ‘refinished” look, now looks like an older military rifle as it should.

I was a lot less knowledgeable then. I think I bought the rifle when I was 18. I walked into the gun store and said “I need I think 7mm Muusers.” The guy was nice about it and said “7mm Mauser, are you sure.” I said yeah but he did not have any and actually called another gun dealer that had a box and told me to get them there, so I went and picked them up.
