I have been collecting old Mausers since my dad got one from Sears back in the 70s and I still get confused by the different action sizes, not just small or large ring. The Chileno is a Small Ring. But get out the calipers and measure the action and screw distance. Large Ring - Mauser's with a Large ring have a thread shank diameter of 1.10" With 12 threads per inch. Across the face of the receiver will measure 1 3/8 . You can also measure the trigger guard screw holes, From center hole to center of other hole should measure about 7 7/8 or 7.830. Small Ring - Mausers with a Small ring have a thread shank diameter of .980" With 12 threads per inch. Across the face of the receiver will measure 1 1/4. You can also measure the trigger guard screw holes, From the center of the holes measure , it should measure about 7 5/8 or 7.625. Nice find!
