A single 10% overcharge round might do nothing more than bend or warp locking luck a little bit or make a hairline fracture worse, but not cause a catastrophic failure. The integrity of the metal should probably be verified first if we're being extra safe. THEN you can trust a proof load.

Well, if we believe the OP, he already had it magna fluxed and hardness tested in key areas. So it had not inherent or incipient cracks and was still surface hard. I'd have proofed it, personally, after the above tests. I'd headspace before and after to see if there was perceptible lug setback after the proof.

It's academic in any event. I hope the new owner sees this thread before getting potentially hurt.
 
I don't believe it for a second. Thankfully, I already have an Israei so I don't have to worry about whether it's this one :O

You might never see that range report. the seller sold the rifle or one very much like it as nothing was mentioned about being in a fire in the listing. I nearly bought it, in fact agreed to , but he sold it to another after they paid first.
I'm glad it never happened, I'd rather no rifle than one this fellow had owned.

Keir973 - Did you sell this rifle without disclosing that that the rifle had been in a fire?

I don't see any evidence of a 'for sale' posting of an Israeli Mauser by Keir973. Where did you get the information, mentioned in the quote above, about selling the gun without full disclosure?

After you close a sale on the EE, you ask to have it removed....
