So I've been wanting to add a 7x57 Mauser rifle to my collection of deer rifles and finally managed to find one at a reasonable price in a pawn shop. The first thing I did was to order a set of "Go" and "No-Go" gauges for the gun which arrived today. I inserted the Go gauge and the bolt closed with no problem. Then I inserted the No-Go gauge and the bolt also closed which (I believe) indicates a problem with the headspace.
The question is what is my next step? Do I need to have a gunsmith look at the gun to see what needs to be done? Thanks in advance for the help.
