The Boer governments sold Mausers at slightly above cost to anyone who wished to purchase one. The Boer governments and private dealers also imported sporting rifles, known in Afrikaans as 'Plezier Mausers.' These 7x57 sporters, which varied in style and ornamentation, were quite popular with the more affluent Boers. While all Boer Mausers were chambered for the 7x57 cartridge, there is some controversy over the little-known 7x53 cartridge, referred to in Afrikaans as the 'Kortnek' (short neck).

M1895 Chilean Mauser 5 Round Bolt Action 7mm Mauser by DWM - Made In Germany - Various Grades. The Mauser Model 1895 adopted as Fusil Mauser Chileno Mo 1895 by Chilean forces, is a bolt operated magazine fed rifle using the 7×57mm Mauser cartridge. It is the first major modification of the Mauser Model 1893 and was produced by Deutsche Waffen und.

We have bought several model 91-30 Mosin Nagants and a few have had headspace problems. If encountering the problems you have encountered I would first check that it is headspaced properly. Headspace gauges can be rented from these guys I have used before, for around $7. A new barrel in 7x57 for the small ring Mauser is available from Midway for $88. This is a 21' Green Mountain barrel, in the white, with the chamber cut.050 short so that one can rent a reamer and headspace gauges and finish it easily. It is available here: While it might not be the sharpest rifle in the world these old warhorses are fine things to learn on.

It was also closely related to the short rifle except that the sling swivels are on the left side of the barrel band and on the stock behind the wrist. It also has the same modified form of the bent bolt handle as the short rifle. Serbian M1899 [ ]. • ^ Walter, John (2006). Rifles of the World. Krause Publications. • ^ Ball, Robert (2011).

Remnants of two old numbers are still visible beyond the last digit on my handle, as well. The rear safety surface shows no out of round resurfacing, and the 0 simply looks to be double struck. But I think the word 'humped' could be a little strong. I don't clean cosmoline or grease out of my guns. If the protective coatings have survived for decades or centuries, then it deserves to stay put. Therefore, I did not strip the golden brown film from the bolt, bolt channel or the exposed cleaning rod tip - even though the bright white finish is much easier on the eyes.

Effective in an accurate rifle to 400+ yards on deer-sized game with proper loads.

S&B and Privi Partisan both load a really nice 7x57 round and it is not overly expensive. The 7x57 produces noticeable but pretty mild recoil and can be pretty accurate. Perfect for deer or pigs out to 200yds or so. Honestly, I have not shot my Chilean 95 in a very long time. Back in the early 90s, a ton of surplus FN made 7mm Mauser ammo came in the country and that is when I shot the rifle quite a bit. They are well made rifles that are fast to cycle and will put the bullets where you want them.

(And the 7 x 57 cartridge is one of my favorites:) Randy C. Anonymous I'm probably the youngest here(when I post 19 days till I'm 18). I just got my Chilean Mauser today as a early 18th birthday present. Around a year ago I sold my 91/30 to a good friend of mine for $200. Made a $100 profit but still thought it was one of the mistake I've made so far in my life. So I was looking for a another one or something like it. So when went to the same gun shop that I got my 91/30 I saw this old rifle in the back corner.

The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die.' -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

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. And I defy anyone to tell it's not original.

I would defnietly think that was part of the history. But.that opens a whole new debate, which ones were done by the vet as it was his 'trophy' the symbol of his triumph over evil, as opposed to some guy that bought it later convertng it? Suppose that is the hstory as well, but just seems wrong on so many levels. I have a 9mm P38 that I use as my personal firearm, sometimes I wonder how many life's t may have taken, but the fact it is in my hands is a testament to the guys that fought against that evil and brought it back.

What do others think about this round for an old guy? I would likely not choose to shoot this rifle sporterized to.308 or 7.62x51. The small ring Mauser action was never designed to take the kind of pressure on a constant basis that modern calibers put it through. I have built and shot small rings in 6.5x55, 7x57, and.300 Savage, as all work on lower pressures. How to download nepali fonts. I am certainly not saying that the gun will blow up in your face, but similar to low-number Springfield rifles, there's always a possibility. There is no third safety lug on the small ring Mausers like the one on the large ring, increasing risk if there is a catastrophic failure. The guns can be made into nice sporters.

If he had a K98, I might think differently but not with this one. In addition, no matter how much 7x57 he has on hand, that caliber is nowhere near as easy to come by in most markets.

Anonymous said. I have a sporterized M48 yugoslavian mauser but I had a reputable gunsmith do all the work including a.308 barrel new Bell&Carlson stock. I had it drilled and tapped for a scope but he had to bend the bolt handle and put a different safety on it. In other words it can be a money pit. Used barrels are a no no because altho the rifling maybe ok but the throat of the barrel shoots out first. Tell the lad to mark this gun off and save his money for a new rifle and start out fresh.

It is the first major modification of the Model 1893 and was produced by, known as DWM, and during the period of 1895–1900.

Is a piece of history and should be preserved. I'm not quite that severe, but I'm pretty close. That being said, if you have a beater, non-matching 1895, and you want to restore it to like-new condition, you probably aren't going to hurt its value a whole lot. Purists and collectors are going to turn up their noses at your re-finished rifle, and some may even chastise you for 'ruining a piece of history', but at the end of the day it's your rifle and if you want to restore it, I say go ahead. One does need to factor in the money toward a quality restoration and decide that if that $200 rifle is really worth spending $300-$400 on to make it look pretty again. Excellent Plus to 'barely used' examples of 1895 Mausers are hard to find, and command prices of $800-$1200 when you do see them, so keep that in mind as well. Then again, you probably don't want to shoot a $1200 rifle, so it's really about what you're after: a collectible, a historically accurate shooter, or a pretty shooter.

The bullet had a high sectional density that gave it a flat trajectory, long-range accuracy, deep penetration, and light recoil. The first Mauser chambered for the 7x57 was the Mo. 1892 Spanish rifle. It had a new-style nonrotating extractor that prevented double feeding of cartridges and made bolt manipulation much smoother.

We have not fired this rifle. Box, Paperwork& Accessories: None Our Assessment: This Chilean Mauser Model 1895 Short Rifle was made in Germany for Chile before Loewe and Company formed DWM, Deutsche Waffen-Und Munitionsfabriken.

CA Legal or CA Private Party Transferable: This rifle qualifies as an antique and can be transferred/sold in California.

According to my understanding if an antique has received a major alteration after the cut off date it might be considered not to be antique.No, once an antique, always an antique. You could spray paint it purple and add an Archangel stock and rear view mirror and it would still be an antique. It's a C&R firearm that you can't mess with without killing its C&R status.

The receiver itself seems quite sound. Still, the young man was fortunate not to have the rifle experience a catastrophic failure. Silent hunter 4 patch 1.5 crack.

And as can be expected, this interest has also crept it’s way into the firearms world. While gun owners generally have an interest in historical arms, weapons from World War Two usually seem to overshadow those of the Great War, so it’s good to see these firearms get more attention.

Mike; You can probably get your local gunsmith to throw a takeoff on it and set the headspace much easier then sending it off. Keeps the money local too.
