The 1893 mauser changed the game as far as design and functionality. It had served in many conflicts by spanish, latin America, turkey, and the boers. Two versions exist, 1893, 1895, and 1916. It deserves its own category. Mostly available in 7x57. Early turks were 7.65 and later converted to 8x57 to accommodate the new pattern 98/36. Later 1916s were converted to 7.62 cetme. Great videos guys!

Mine has been Bubba'ed long before I got it, still an incredibly accurate rifle. 7x57 does not play.

The Mauser Vergueiro was originally chambered in 6.5x58 Vergueiro a cartridge designed specifically for this rifle. Many were rechambered to 7.92x57 in 1939 to standardize with the Mauser 98k. It can also be found in 7x57 which was the export version. Vergueiro was ahead of his time with the 6.5 kinda like an early 6.5 Creedmoor.

I’ve had several mousers over the years. The special ones were a Venezuelan Mauser made in 1953 by FN for the 1954 PanAm games. It had windage adjustable sights and no bayonet lugs. It was never in general issue and in near perfect condition. Very accurate. I’ve also had two Siamese maulers, one was in awesome condition which I shot as essentially a wildcat in its original caliber. The other was in Terrible shape so I had it made into a 45-70. I also had a Sauer made one that was a German wwii used gun. There were also a Turkish one and an 1896 Swedish.

I have a 7x57 that was built by my father years ago when he was in gunsmithing school in Trinidad Colorado. He made the barrel and bought an action for it. It is cock on closing and I never really knew what year it was. Watching this video I was able to get a little closer to pinning down the age. 7x57 is my favorite caliber of all the rifles I own and that rifle has taken the two largest elk I have ever harvested. I was able to get my hands on a Ruger M77/270 and had it rebarreled with a Shilen barrel and had it stamped 275 Rigby. Now my old rifle is my pole gun. Named that because my property is covered with lodge pole pine so shots are not very far and I have an original Weaver K-3 post and crosshair scope on it. I hand load so the books I use only show low pressure loads so I have had to experiment a lot but now have some excellent loads. Thanks for the video, it was helpful.

I have a Serbian Mauser made in 1937 from tooling that I believe came from BRNO. It is a shorter action than other Mauser manufacturers. It still has the King Peter two markings on the stock and metal, there is no import marks, so I am thinking it could be a "bring back" from WW2. It still shoots great.

The markings on the stock of the M-96 (Sweden) is because that 6,5x55 was originally loaded with a heavy round nose. That was changed in 1940 to a lighter pointed bullet so instead of changing the sights of the rifle "överslaget" on different distance were marked on the stock. By the way Moose is named älg in Swedish and elk in English. So 9,3x57 is used mostly on moose in Sweden.

The owner of the ranch which adjoins mine in the Free State province of South Africa had inherited from his father, who had been State President, a Mauser rifle which had been part of a shipment sent to the Free State Boer republic. just as the war broke out. The shipment had been diverted to Buenos Aires where it remained in its factory grease until being discovered in the early seventies and handed over to the SA government. One of these rifles was presented to my neighbour's father. One evening at dinner, he showed me this rifle. It was truly the most beautiful firearm I have ever seen Being in brand new condition, one got an idea of the standard of craftsmanship in the late 1800's. It had the Free State coat of arms and the letters O V S (Orange Free State).

I have a pre-war sporting Mauser. All parts are serial numbered. It has a set trigger (double trigger). The stock is checkered with a cheek rest. Very accurate. It is chambered for 8x57 ammunition. Many years ago I was told that the early 8x57 ammunition bullet was slightly larger than the later WWII variety. A gunsmith put a WWII barrel on it stamped with a swastika. He said this would allow me to the more common WWII ammunition. So, what ammunition should I use and where can I get it? What is the difference in pre-war versus WWII ammunition? Thanks for any advice.

If I had to choose one, it would probably be my 1909 Cavalry Carbine. Honorable mention to the Vz. 24. Those Czechs made some darn good rifles. It's the smoothest 8mm that I own.

I have the M18 chambered in 30-06 and have been VERY happy with it and its performance. Even though it's not the high end or military type it shares a lot of the same characteristics, except wood haha.

I just bought a 1909 argentine carbine. Got a wicked deal on it because at some point someone put the action in a K98 stock and they thought it was a parts bin frankenrifle. All S/N’s minus the stock are matching 😂

I have a 98/29 Persian which was one of the unissued ones so to keep the value I don't shoot it but I have an older98/22 Turk and it shoots great. I have numerous Turkish M38s that shoot very good and have rebarreled one of them to a long 7.65x53 Argentine and put the Turk sights back on it in a full military stock. I want to do the same thing with a M96 Swede barrel. When the Turks used the small ring barrel shank on an M38 action it was a blessing.

I have a. 270 built on a styer-solothurn mauser. It's an absolute tack driver. Picked up another styer action from gun smith chambered in 308 ,hart barrel so it should shoot good. Styer solothurn mauser is pretty unique as well.

Do you have a video on the m48?

@mrbikehunter 3 жыл бұрын

Great video . I have a 1937 - 7 X 57 Brazilian Mauser (unfired as new condition) matching numbers - bayonet -sling and the signed test target from the factory . I'm going to put 3 more holes in that test target when it turns 100. If i live that long ???

Turkey started buying mausers in 1887 I think. Around 1890 they started using 7.65 Argentina or Belgian cart.. The 88 and 98 mausers were supplied by Germany. In the 30s they started converting the 7.65 m93 and such into standard 8mm

I have a 1919 Swedish Mauser m96 and it's a great rilfe. I love the 6.5x55 swiss cartridge. I like my 1940 Kar98K in 8x56 mauser too. Also I have a '90's Ruger M77 in .243 Win. That's not in the same time period but still a great mauser action.

All I have are 98's that are actions only used in sporting rifles. A 6mm Rem, 25-06, 7mm-08 and then I have two Interarms Mark X actions one in .270 and the other in 7mm Rem Mag. The 7mm-08 was an original that someone sporterized. It had the original 8MM barrel and the stock had been re-worked into a Monte Carlo style. It also had a double trigger in it. The barrel rifling was unfortunately pitted and the stock cracked at the pistol grip. I re-barreled it and put it in a modern synthetic stock. The date found on it was 1904. I picked it up at a pawn shop for about $125.00 some 15 or so years ago. I also found that Remington also produced not too long ago a couple of rifles with 98 Mauser actions. I'd love to find one of these.

The Bullet, like Elvis, has already left the barrel. The Case, however was extracted and then rolled of the bench.

Three years ago I shot a nice whitetail doe with a sporterized Swedish M96, one of the very first M96 guns made in Germany before they started production in Sweden. Someone had cut 3 inches off the barrel, so I ended up trimming it down further to 20 inches, putting a good front sight on, having a target crown on it and cutting the stock to match the handguard so I could use the original sling swivels. I shot the doe at 100 yards at a downhill angle, broke the left shoulder, took out the heart and went out the right side. The deer dropped instantly. The first Mauser I owned I wish I still had, an original Spanish Mauser from 1893. Shot great. I've had a Gewehr 98, I've had a custom 98 Mauser in .338-06 Improved. I've owned a Spanish 1916 Mauser that was cut down, but never redone in .308, it stayed 7 x 57mm. I now own a numbers matching K98 which I think is my favorite.

I just got my first mauser. Never even shot one before. Found a cool Yugo M48 B model. And I love it shoots way softer than I expected with the metal but pad. I was expecting a more mosin like thump but she shoots like a dream.

Hi 👋 I have an old rifle with SPANDAU written on it and also a crown that is half covered with wood. Can you give me any information about it, is it a good type and when was it made? Thank you

@MrSonic1953 Жыл бұрын

Do you have any 8mm Mouser sporterized rifles, and could you make a video on those rifles modified for hunting? I'm buying one chambered in 7.92x57 but I don't know what the rifle model is (other than a K98 Sign.) It looks pretty much like your wildcard, but the rear sight is more like the German Mouser K98I. 'm buying it from a pawnshop, and they don't have much information.
