A good basic manual for these is avaialbel from the NRA publications division, both as an individual firearm or in a group manual.The NRA Guide to Rifles and Shotguns.Firearms Assembly 3 will take you thru it. this may be a late war production which made it through with out identifying stamps.Just run a Google search on Mauser and with a large fresh pot of coffee.sit and read for a year or two.these rifles.in all their incarnations are the most popular in the world. Another possibility is at the end of wars countries productions standards often go out the window. One possibility for this rifle is it is a copy of a Mauser, there are places in this world that will hand build you any firearm you want and will include markings from other countries to make it seem legitimate, or it could be a frankingun one built from parts of many rifles.
them pours in the melted cerrosafe, when it has hardened and before it cools he uses a dowel or cleaning rod to push it out of the chamber he can then measure the chamber. He plugs the barrel ahead just after the chamber. I am late to this thread, as others have said have the chamber measured, to do this the gunsmith will use a metal called cerrosafe a metal that for some reason shrinks while cooling then when cool has returned to the cast size thus making an exact (or close enough) replica of the chamber. If it's not a 6.5X55mm and actually turns out to be in 7mm Mauser that could take some time identifying as it could be any number of countries that manufactured the rifle.
Still a nice find and while only slightly molested still a functional rifle, depending on rifling. It's unlikely that it was re-barreled in that chambering (meaning if it's the original barrel in 6.5X55mm) though popular in Europe as a hunting round post war and probably rough-sporter modified in the 50's or 60's judging from the condition of the bluing and overall appearance. Rare as it may seem many rifles were manufactured under several "Mauser" labels in this caliber dating back to Krag/Jorgensen rifles of Norway. Several of these were generic in markings especially late in the 40's. Some history buff's may dispute Sweden being ever occupied by Germany let alone producing arms for the German Army but I assure you these guns do exist. What you have is a standard small ring 93-95 and while chambered in 6.5X55mm most likely manufactured in Sweden or Western Europe in the early 40's under German occupation, to take advantage of munitions production and stock-piled Swedish ammo. (If, and only if it's chambered in 6.5X55mm for sure). Gotcha I see now thank for getting me on track.
