Rare to see on a store shelf.

That's how I got my Hakim for under $400. "It's chambered in an obscure caliber, 7.92x57. You can't find ammo for it and that is why no one bought it." Okay, make it $350 and I'll buy it. "Sold."

I once tried to buy some Yugo Mauser ammo once, I asked if the boxes behind the counter were 8mm Mauser. The sales guy said it was 7.9mm. I said I'll take it but he refused to sell it to me because it was the wrong caliber. Took some back-and-forth and finally he sold it to me.

Never thought I'd encounter someone refusing to sell ammo.

7.92x57 and 8mm Mauser are the same thing. There's a different 8mm Mauser that has a smaller bullet diameter (used in the 88 commission rifles I think) using the newer version in it would be dangerous. If you have a WWII Era mauser thats in 8mm you should be fine. WWI or earlier I would slug the bore to make sure

Original Mauser was .318, newer became .323. The gear was that people would load .323 in .318 rifles.
