7mm Mauser cartridge question
My Remington rolling block Model 1902, in 7mm Mauser, has a flat chamber face.

thanks

Forced to retire (medical disability) at the young age of 61, collecting Remington and Springfield military rifles of the 1800's. I listen to podcasts about gun topics, and ask if any member ...
