Chilean Mauser 1895 For Sale
No hating now! But you could go on ebay and try to find a stock set.its been messed with so your not making it worse,Id not drill any holes for the scope.how's the barrel? Is it shiny,the bolt could be right for this,I believe they had the turn down bolt and these are German made rifles.the stock is hideous though,OMG. The good thing about this,is it has not been drilled for mounts. SapishkaA turned-down bolt is incorrect for a M1895 long rifle. All had straight bolts.
The Model 1895 short rifles and carbines had turned-down bolts, but this rifle isn't either of those. 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,otherwise same length.now the 1893 Chilean rifle has the turndown bolt as issued,so maybe that is another possibility as well,easy to check as the 1895 has the shoulder behind the bolt handle it closes down into,the 1893 does not,like a safety notch.

SapishkaThis is not a short rifle, and the long rifle and the short rifle were dimensionally different. The long rifle had a total length of 48.60' and a barrel length of 29.6'. The short rifle had a total length of 41.25' and a barrel length of 21.25'.
From the OP's pictures, the rifle appears to have a barrel longer than 21.25'. In addition, the front sight of the short rifle (and the cavalry carbine) had ears. Although it certainly could have been altered, the OP's front sight appears to be the standard blade sight you'd see on a long rifle, but the length of the rifle is determinative. If the stock (what's left of it) matches the receiver, that is, although by no means definitive, pretty good support for the conclusion that the rifle is a Model 1895 long rifle (given that there is no sling swivel on the side of the butt).
This is not a Model 1893. The OP's images show a receiver side rail clearly marked 'Mauser Chileno Modelo 1895.' The side rail of the Model 1893 did not indicate the model. I don't think so on the barrel. But, what do I know? I'm new here. Lol Interesting point on the turned down bolt.
Description: Good condition antique Chilean Model 1895 Mauser Carbine in 7mm Mauser (7 x 57) caliber. Receiver ring has a decent Chilean crest. Left side of receiver has Loewe Berlin manufacturer markings. Carbine is NOT import marked and has matching serial numbers on. I picked up a Chilean 1895 Mauser in 7x57 today at the gun show - serial # L68XX. Hope to use it as a deer rifle, along with enjoying its role as an antique firearm. Used to see them for sale here and there but don't remember seeing one in last 20 years. I rebarreled a 7MM for a friend and made it a 308 for him and he got several deer with it.

Sure looks 'meant to be' underneath though. I appreciate the feedback and thoughts. Just hadn't seen one like this. Perhaps 'Bubba'd', but you can't get a rifle that you can take down good sized game for $100-$150 (perhaps with the exception of a Mosin and that would be a good deal nowadays). But, what do I know?
Lol Last edited by texaswildman; at 08:31 PM. Reason: Added pic. What it looks like underneath wouldn't tell you much, if anything. The evidence is on the top side. I'm 100% sure that the bolt was once straight and was turned down by Bubba.
The stretched numbers are a tell-tale sign. It appears based on the condition of/marks behind the front sight that there was once something directly behind the front sight. At the end of the day, though, I'm back to the fact that everything adds up to a long rifle. The bolt definitely was formerly straight. The stock has no sling swivel on the left butt or a side plate in the right butt, and it is really hard to believe that someone took a short rifle, removed the barreled action from the stock, and put it in a sporterized long rifle stock. If it shoots well, shoot the crap out of it and have fun. A shooter is better than no shooter.

I believe you have a sporterized M1895 short rifle. I have three short rifle M1895s - one original, two sporterized. Tms component pack xe7 crack. The better shooting of the two sporters has been my 'go to' knock-around/truck gun for the better part of 30 years. I don't think you'll find a better gun for those purposes. I've been collecting for 50 years, and the '95 is definitely one of my favorites.I agree.
It is clearly a 1895 short rifle and the bolt is correct. Nothing wrong with a sporterized rifle as long as you haven't D&T'd the receiver and the barrel hasn't been cut. Many of these were converted to.308 by Chile in the 1950's so an original 7MM is a good find and worth preserving. Sketchup vertex tools free download crack. There is no rush in putting it back as original as long as you don't mess it up. If you have a good bore, you will amazed what great shooting you can do with that caliber. I am no collector and I despise the way collectors think. But they can't help it.
Any good shooting Mauser is a nice rifle to have if it is in a good caliber and 7×57 is one of the best. If I saw that at a gun show I would certainly think it was reasonably priced at $200 as a sporting shooter. I can't say I would buy it because I am rifle poor but once upon a time I would have scarfed it right up. Being sporterized makes it more valuable to me as I would not have to carry around all the excess wood and metal. 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.
