Rookie question...

There's a lot of knowledge in this forum so I'm hoping someone recognizes the markings 10 8 and 115 on the stock. What those mean and any guess on year model?

Hi There,

What you have is a Remington #5 rolling block model 1902
(some call it the model 1901) and most were made in 7mm
Mauser (back then, it was called 7mm Spanish Mauser).
Many of the South and Central American countries purchased
them. Even Brittan purchased some during WW I.

The markings will depend on the country that purchased
the rifles. Unfortunately, I don't have any knowledge of
these markings.

As I said, most of these were in 7X57 but there were other
calibers offered. What caliber is yours?

Cheers!
Webb

Webb,
Many thanks! I appreciate the information, folks on here are awesome.

It is indeed a 7x57.

Thanks
