This rifle is looking like a K98 void of markings, except 7.92 and this three leaf design. It looks kinda like this only inverted. Any Idea who made it ?

I finally saw one on another rifle. Spanish. When did they make 8 mm mausers ?

It 's a K 98 version, not a 1916. What did they call it ?

Capt4K is correct. What would they call it? Probably a short rifle - 1893 cut down. Could even be a scrubbed M1933. Need to see pictures of the gun though. I'm not even convinced that it's Spanish..

Spanish made model 1943 in 8mm mauser. These were used in the 1950`s to make the FR-8 rifle in 7.62 nato.
