Can I change my name?
I got this rifle from my grandpa, but honestly neither of us really know what it is. I’m pretty sure it’s an 8mm Mauser but would like to confirm. Thanks.
I priced this stuff online and on Ebay. Yeow! $27 for 50 mlSee if you can find somebody with reprorubber. A machine shop or design shop should have it. Take equal parts and mix together like JB weld and put in your bore. It should get hard about the consistency of a pencil eraser, that can be pushed out with a cleaning rod. Then mike the "slug" that comes out. I've used it to get inside contours and thread profiles and the like.

Yeah, It's not cheap. It's easier than using lead or babbitt. It can be sliced thin with a razor blade then measured on an optical comparator if necessary. If you need an inside profile, O-ring, or snap ring grove, there's nothing better. Luckily, I've worked at a few places that bought it by the quart!I priced this stuff online and on Ebay.

If you fire a cartridge and nothing horrible happens is it still possible that the cartridge is not the correct caliber. Maybe the bullet is small enough and the casing manages to go into battery. I saw a similar conversation recently and wondered about this. Of course it would be an incredibly stupid thing to do.Brownells sells a material specially made for chamber casting. It has a low melting point and is easy to use. It comes with clear instructions and works very well. Casting the chamber is the only way to make sure what caliber you have.
