My gunsmith said that the rockwell hardness on these actions are plenty sufficient to handle mag loads. Once it eats through the solder enough it'll come apart. In many respects it is similar to the Spanish Civil Guardia, another 7x57 converted to 7.62x51. The stock has dings and scratches from carry and use. The markings on the left side of the receiver say "WAFFENFABRIK STEYR AUSTRIA". Metallurgy on German mausers is far from suspect. Chilean 1895 Mausers were made by Loewe, owner of the original Mauser Werke, in Germany (home to Krupp steel). The 12 month average price is $388.12 used. A Chilean 1895 Mauser was designed to handle 45,000 PSI ammunition. Marking on top of the receiver"Mondelo 1912-61, NATO". This item is no longer available for purchase. The serial number, A8416, matches on the trigger guard and bolt. A slide show of the 1985 Chilean Mauser, in 7.62x51.
