PS: What's caliber on that ported Mauser?
This one is (or "was") a M1943 rifle in 8mm. Standard M98 action made in 1950, so I wouldn't have to worry about any weak M93 action like the other Spanish Mausers

Wow... that was a booby trap waiting to happen. Glad that you checked it out before chambering a round.
I was helping a friend clean some rifles that had just come in
Where did he get them from? FTF?, Gun shop?, online C&R?, Gunbroker, Show?
Did the seller represent it as deactivated?
I would expect if something is deactivated or purposefully non-shoot able, it should 100% be represented as a non-functioning gun.
That sucks.
Hmm. I take it you are going to have to inspect the others? or have they already been inspected and cleaned?
I'm curious, did the firing pin get pulled or cut down?
scary, Did you get the cleaning rod out by pushing through the holes?
I'm curious if one could see the holes when looking at the bore with a bore light.
She got them in with a large batch of rifles that had just been imported from Europe. Nobody else had known the rifle was "deactivated" until I found the holes. It's was the only one that had been demilled. I guess technically since the receiver wasn't plugged, it's not even "demilled" by U.S. standards
