Sounds like you found a good arm. The name stamp on the receiver is the arsenal which made the arm in the first place. Since yours is marked ("S" on receiver) as 8x56R, it is likely a short or 'stutzen' type. Many were converted.
The website shown will probably give you better information AND will stay around for refreshing your memory as well.
The ammunition is currently made by Privi Partizan Unice (PPU). However, one must have an 'en bloc clip" or 'clip' in order for the firearm to act as a repeater. The 'clip' functions as part of the magazine. Without one, the rifle is a single shot. They are available, but not cheap.
