Can somebody identify this rifle?

Ive tried looking online i cant find anything (i am ignorant of bolt action rifles ) anyway its an 8mm bolt my uncle in nevada found he says it has a fabrique nationale and has a mexican flag stamp? I attatched the pics he sent anyone know what it is?

My guess would be a Mexican Mauser that has been sporterized to an extent.

Agreed. It looks to be a sporterized Mexican military Mauser. I wasn't aware of the Mexican military issuing Mausers chambered in 8x57, so it's possible that it was rebarreled to 8mm. That last comment is only conjecture though, as I am not an expert of Mexican Mausers, so someone with more knowledge may shoot down my rebarrel theory.

Does it cock on open or cock on close?

[triplestack3]

Probably a FN-1924 Mauser. Just a guess since it's hard to tell much from the pictures.

[Rainbow Bullets]

It cocks when it opens its a single shot as well

Does it cock on open or cock on close?

[Horrendo Revolver]

Never seen a single shot.

Poor bubba'd Mauser

[Rainbow Bullets]

So it is a mauser then?

[Horrendo Revolver]

Yes

"Mauser" covers all kinds of Models, "Mexican Mauser" does too. There are Large, and Small rings, and several manufactures. By the cocking piece, that one "appears to be" a Model 1936. Parts for Mex Mausers are hard to find as the actions were unique in dimensions.
You say single shot? Is the magazine blocked so the follower won't depress?

Good thread w/pics on Mexican Mausers:

Trap thank you for the info my uncle was wrong its not a single shot i guess it just wouldn't depresss but he got it

The Mex Mausers are probably the most desirable for sporter builds. They are a small ring 98 action, and make the best light weight rifles. What is it chambered in? Original was 7x57.
