• Model 1895 Chilean Mauser Carbine

Manufacturing a firearm meant the investment of an enormous number of man hours. Parts were laboriously made, hand-fitted, and finished.  There just wasn't another way of doing things back then.  Gun shops being bombarded with GLOCKs.

The Chilean 1895 short rifle has the bent bolt as does the cavalry carbine,given the fact the stock is butchered,it may be an 1895 short rifle model.You have said the numbers match,so if bolt does match receiver this could be what you've got.the short rifle has the bent bolt and would have the sling swivels on the left side of the stock. Messages: 17. I'm trying to determine a value on a 7 x 57 Chilean Mauser Model 1895. The weapon is a solid 90% with a clean stock with no major marks or dings. It is marked Deutsche Waffen-Und Munitionsfbriken Berlin. It has a 3 digit serial # starting with L and all matching numbers including the inside of the stock written in pencil.

Brazil and Chile both ordered variations of the 1893 type rifle. The Chilean version was known as the Modelo 1895, and sported a few minor differences from the 1893, not the least of which was the addition of a “safety lug” which supposedly prevented the bolt from going through a rifleman’s face in the event of a catastrophic failure due to an overpressure situation. The 1895 Chilean Mauser, very similar to the 1893 Mauser in most respects More than a few Modelo 1895s have appeared on the market in recent years, varying in condition from 'near-mint' to 'dragged through the Chilean highlands behind a mule cart'. As I mentioned earlier, the craftsmanship on these rifles is something to be admired. Oil finished walnut stocks, nitre-blued small parts with acceptance marks, gorgeous rust-blued barrel and receiver, and a polished steel bolt left “in the white”. If you were to make a rifle today the way and made them in the 19th century, it would likely cost several thousand dollars.

A Chilean Steyr Modelo 1912 Mauser rifle. A gorgeous rifle and an example of old-world quality.

Shooting the 1895 Mauser is like traveling back in time. The first thing you notice is how long it is. I am about 5’ 9”, and with the butt of the rifle on the ground, as would be if standing at attention with it, the muzzle of the rifle touches my armpit. The barrel alone is 29”.

I asked a machinist friend of mine to turn the outside of the barrel down so that it matched the dimensions of the original. It fit the stock perfectly. I read everything I could find about chamber reamers and head space measurement, bought the reamer and go gage from Brownells, and ever so gently, nailed the headspace. I transferred the front and rear sight onto the new barrel, drilling pilot holes to keep them centered then soldered them in place with a propane torch. The final insult was to paint the receiver and barrel with flat black high temp BBQ paint from a can. It matched the parkerized parts beautifully. So when I was done, I had a good looking 100 year old rifle with a brand new barrel that shoots great.

I just recently inherited a similar Argentine 1895 Mauser. Apperently its the gun my grandfather carried across Europe during WW2. It shoots 7mm Argentine, which is 7.65x53.

With that said, I happen to collect Mausers from the K98k to Swedes and various South American countries plus other military weapons. They are finely crafted weapons and beautiful in their own right, with their place in history, and it saddens me to see someone who wants to destroy such a piece of history by 'scoping it', especially a numbers matching or mostly matching example.

This helps to keep good old shooters from being grabbed up and hidden away by collectors.Then you are in the wrong forum. I'm 100% sure that the bolt was once straight and was turned down by Bubba.

I have many fine guns that have lots of years on them, I would never part with any of them.just because they are OLD! Anonymous said. I am seeking a bit of advice from a Mauser fanatic. My grandfather has passed on and given me what he believes to be a 1895 Spanish Mauser cavalry carbine (.308 or 7.62mm). Its a bolt action and has a capacity of 5 rounds magazine that is built in. The front flip sight only goes up to 14 not 20 that I have seen on pictures from Google.

Knife bayonet for use with the 7 mm. M1895 Mauser rifle produced for Chile by Ludwig Loewe and Deutsche Waffen-Und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) in Germany.

Ludwig Lowe Berlin made nice guns, with fairly good finish and machining for the time. I would not hesitate to make one into a lightweight sporter, but would probably stick with a lower pressure cartridge. Nice article on 7mm here. Pressure of 7 mm is 56,000 and 308 is 60,000. I believe most of these were produced in Germany and their steel at the time was brilliant. I would trust these rifles with handloads if you work up to them and look for signs of pressure as you go.

A bullet fit completely in the muzzle. But it was a really good looking rifle. All the metal had been parkerized, the stock looked great, so I figuratively bit the bullet. I bought a short chambered 7mm mauser sporter barrel from Midway that was 1/2 inch shorter than the military barrel.

Renowned hunter killed 1,011 elephants with this loading (all headshots), which illustrates the accuracy and penetration of the round. The 7mm Mauser’s performance was even further improved with the invention of Spitzer bullets. Spain contracted for 200,000 of these wonderful rifles from Germany, and soon after began producing additional rifles via license in Spain. They liked the rifle and cartridge so much, they continued to make it until 1943.

Was a little heavy but nothing I wasn't used to, tight but smooth bolt, but it's a Mauser so that wasn't surprising, and bore was a little dirty but all the rifling was there so I decided to take a chance on it. Got the rifle and 20 rounds to test it out and was and wasn't surprised at the same time how well it shot. I knew after I shot that first shot that my regret for selling my 91/30 was gone and that I will enjoy this rifle for probably the next 70 years. Best birthday present ever and this is beating my Walther p1 and converted Saiga iz-132. Anonymous Just bumped into this article, awesome. I am on a quest, ideally to find the THE, $35 bought thru the NRA magazine 7x57 surplus rifle my father bought for me in the late 60s.

They will flatten & there will be leakage around the circumference of the primer, or if the case expands too much the primer will just fall out on ejection. Punctured primer sounds like a misshapen firing pin or possibly headspace again. Where & how are the cases bulged? Did they stick in the chamber? How hard did the bolt open? Was the suspect ammo home brewed?

To reduce the likelihood of damage during shipping, we may disassemble long guns by removing stocks when it is possible & easy and will not damage the wood or screws. We will also break down takedowns. We have had problems with rough carrier handling breaking the stocks at the wrist, and since we have begun to disassemble, we have not had any breakage. All parts will be individually wrapped. If you would prefer to not have your item disassembled, please let us know as soon as you win the bid. We package all merchandise for shipment on the Monday following the sale. Your item will be shipped within 1 week of receipt of good funds, usually the next day.

It was sportarized by my Grandfather at some point in time. Some of the wood was taken off to make it lighter. For some reason it was always referred to as the 'Jap' gun. Not sure why, no one seems to know. My grandfather fought in the pacific theatre, but I doubt he would have come across this. Family stories are not always easy to figure with guns.

The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost. But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it. And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

The safety you describe sounds like one that would be found on a M98 style bolt. The M93s and M95s have the serrated flat safety. Even the M1916 Mauser had that style safety (my post on that rifle is here): There are various M98 style Mausers chambered in 7x57 that were made for Venezeula (by FN), Chile (by Steyr). And Mauser itself (for Brazil, Mexico, etc.). I'd suggest trying to find a copy of Mauser Military Rifles of the World and seeing if anything rings a bell. Chuck I'll apologize in advance if I offend anyone.

For a 120 year old gun, this little sweetheart is a slayer. My best shot was estimated at over 1200 yards with iron sights, Curlew Washington about 1977.

(Photo: Francis Borek) On the range, with PPU manufactured 139 grain ammunition and my own handloads, the rifle shot consistently high and to the right. The primary limiting factor with this rifle, and indeed the majority of vintage military rifles are the sights. Typical for old Mausers, the rear sight is a narrow V-notch with a pyramid front sight. Though rather poor, they can help you appreciate just how far firearms have come in design and that these days most shooters take optics for granted. Finding and collecting Over the years these Chilean Modelo 1912 rifles have been imported to the US in batches. Recently a large batch came into the country, imported by the now defunct Samco Global Arms.

The Mauser action is the finest bolt action ever designed, and has been copied by many others for that reason. Any competent gunsmith could tell you if this rifle is safe to shoot, or what needs to be done to make it so.

The stock rates in about Good overall condition. Type of Finish: Blue Finish Originality: Original, but the front sight band is not. Bore Condition: The bore is dark and the rifling is deep. There is erosion. Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 15% of its metal finish.

If you scope it try to mount the scope as low as possible because the stock is designed for low mounted sights. It is an excellent candidate for a scout rifle. Personally I would put recever peep sights on it probably a Williams if they would fit. I would likely carve my favorite nickname on the stock. This helps to keep good old shooters from being grabbed up and hidden away by collectors.

Performance Despite it’s length and weight, the Modelo 1912 still handles quite well on the range. The extra heft soaks up recoil better than shorter rifles. Although the straight bolt handle is a little awkward at first, a shooter can quickly become used to it. As one would expect from a pre-war Mauser, cycling of the action is slick, though if cycled without authority, the action can stick or bind.

Near mint examples go for north of $800, but you can get a beater for a couple hundred bucks. I was fortunate enough two years back to find an excellent example for about $350. Mine certainly isn’t a mint, unissued piece, but other than dings and dents in the stock, and finish wear on the buttplate, my rifle is in fantastic shape. The bore is bright and unblemished, the metal finish is intact, and the rifle has all matching serial numberswith the exception of the cleaning rod. Given the human attention and hand-fitting that went into these rifles, numbering major parts made sense.

In my case, every part of visor have own, different number The same is nin the case of sleeve of the bolt and lever of the locking device. Both have mismatched two digit numbers with symbol of 'crossed hammers'. Acording to examples from Chile rifles M 1895, it could be last two digits of SN. Thank you very much Sidney. Mausers, including the South American made rifles, had matching serial numbers on most parts. If the part was too small for a full number, then the last two digits of the serial number were stamped on the part.
