P.Patr 7.9 thread

AR is the manufacturer code for Mauser in Borsigwalde, and 7,9 was the German designation for the 8mm round. If that receiver wasn't made by Germans, then the code and markings are fake.
 
Looking at the pictures further in the thread, I'm suspecting it might be an authentic German mauser, but at some point "bubba" got a hold of it.
 
The receiver looks legit to me but I do not know what the unusual marking means nor who did it. The front band is actually a rear band so it definitely has been altered.

I guess you guys misunderstood my question on this weapon. The markings and configuration is what I was questioning not the parts it's made from. Is it Real? Made up? Mrfarb commented on one like it but was no certain based on his remarks.

I guess without any documentation we will never know.
