binko:
For sure it is a Treff action by the name and D.R.G.M. on the top tang. A block of steel with milled slots for the hammers, which are powered by coil springs is attached, to the top tang by the screw behing the indicators. Also the location of the cocking indicators, which are vertically spring loaded, give it away. Sometimes the indicators are in the front and sometimes in the rear. The D.R.G.M. number might aide in narrowing the date of manufacture. But if the bore is near 8mm, I would still ventures a guess along the lines of the 360 Express like 8X72R, 8X72 Sauer, etc. and something interesting. It could be a military variant, but with that type action the rifle calibre more than likely won't fall along the normal lines. Treff actions occassionally draw the eye of some collectors. If I were you, I'd use wax, but some prefer a better cast.
Kind Regards,
