I recently ran across a Venezuelan mauser that had been rebarreled and stamped on the barrel is 7. 57. Mauser Express. I know this is a 7x57 but what does Mauser express mean especially the express part? Any info is always appreciated.

That said. My WAG is that it's just a 7 mm Ackley Improved. Using a different name. GOOGLE, "Ackley Improved Cartridges".
The 7 mm Mauser, is a very old design, dating to the early 1890's. It is one of the cartridges that benefited most, to being rechambered to 7 mm A.I.
