Hello, I have this old Mauser 98 and wondering if this is an old military action. There is no makers name on the rifle. There is a serial# and a few markings that I am sharing pictures of. No caliber marking but it is 8mm

Looking for any information who made the action and also what year approx it was made.

How difficult is it to re-barrel to 7x57 and is the action any good for that

Thanks for any help
