DK, from your description, especially the flat bottom bolt, it sounds like you have a Spanish M93 which was originally in 7mm Mauser. The M95 went back to the round bolt. There were also the M1916s that were remanufactured with 308 NATO barrels. Does your Mauser have a straight or turned down bolt? These weapons are "small ring Mausers" which were not designed for the pressures of the 308 Win. There are web sites where you can refer to the serial numbers for the model 93/1916 defination.
