Old foreign rifle's are not my thing so anyone know what it is ?

5 digit serial i cannot remember
Caliber is .257
a " chinese " symbol looking like an " FH " on the underside of the bolt handle. Other than that there's absolutely no other numbers or symbols i can find. I've looked at the chinese rifle's and don't see a match and neither do the typical Mausers. The sping mag looks like the chinese versions. The barrel has a hell of a spiral to it and super clean

Chinese made Carcano ?? Split Bridge, who else made one ?? They made the infamous 6.5mm, I think.

It could be highly sporterized VZ24 variant.... just guessing by the positioning of the bolt handle, versus what pics I've seen.
