The stash contained deactivated firearms which were largely purchased legally, and were later reactivated. Firearms found at the scene were ready to be repaired and transformed back into working weapons.
The firearms were likely intended for sale to terrorists...

Doesn't say they were all, what--- deactivated? Thats not nomenclature. (Portion redacted)
Edit: Read the comments section below the article linked.
Spain has inadvertently disrupted CIA/Mossad Logistic Operation. Not a good sign for Spain!
Some of the piles look like old German Mausers and they now are hard to get ammo for in europe.

I know someone with a Mauser converted to fire other rounds. Since some of these guns were "deactivated", going through further modifications may not be much more of a hassle.

But 7.62x39 would be a very short round for the action of a Mauser and would likely fail to feed.
7.62x54r would be better for a old Mauser if the head of the cartridge fits the bolt face of the Mauser.
