It's not cheap, ($63.00 +) but there can't be a more thoroughly researched and profusely illustrated reference anywhere on the planet. Then I recently googled "Argentine Mauser Rifles" to learn more about it and found an amazingly detailed 296-page book online, available from Amazon, "Argentine Mauser Rifles 1871-1959" by Colin Webster. 22 for just plinking around and have never fired the Mauser since, only unwrapping it occasionally to oil it and admire the beautiful design and workmanship. Since I'm not a marksman or hunter I've stuck to an old. I shot up a few cacti in the Arizona desert, placed it in a gun bag and stored it in my closet. Apparently Argentina sold off thousands as surplus. I bought a Modelo 1891 in the 1960s from Montgomery Ward, wrapped in oil and wax paper, for about $15 along with the bayonet and some ammo. The design was wildly successful and, in 1891 Argentina, who had completed their transition to Remington Rolling Blocks only 11 years earlier, purchased an improved version: the Modelo 1891 rifle, in 7.65x53mm (a caliber now known as "7.65 Argentine.") (the owners of Mauser) and the Belgian State arms factory at Liege formed a new syndicate, known as Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre (now known universally as "FN") to manufacture the new rifle. Due to the fact that the Mauser works were running nearly at capacity supplying the Turks, Ludwig Loewe & Co. 88 in every way, and shopped it to the Belgians. Mauser, feeling snubbed, set to work designing a rifle that eclipsed the Gew. 1888 "Commission Rifle", so called because it was designed by a committee, rather than any independent factory. The Germans responded by fielding the Gew.
1886 Lebel by the French had, almost overnight, obsoleted every other military rifle in the world. The late 19th Century was witness to a frantic global arms race the introduction of the Mle. 71 Vetterli: A 19th Century assault rifle. Argentine Mauser Modelo 1891: The last antique rifle.Fabrique Nationale SAFN-49: The proto-FAL.Martini-Henry Mark III: The Arm of Empire.Filipino blacksmith revolver: Fruit of a ban.Mannlicher-Schoenauer M1903/14: Revolutionary rotary.Remington Model 11: A very belligerent fowling piece.I dont know about the sights, over at gunboards some is sure to know though. But its bigger case might have lower pressure? I seem some of the Norma ammo exceeds 308. I've been shooting Norma and privi ammo i got cheap at a gun show.Īs to the sights i have no idea, mine the sights are removed and its wearing a 4-16 scope. Although i have about 80 pieces of norma brass for the 7.65 and dies i just have not got around to loading any up yet. I have several M1890 Turk original Rifles, but no Carbines (Unknown if any were made).so my original Turk action will grace a "Replica" M1890 Carbine, in correct calibre.sights I don't know, probably the same as the Argy M91 Carbine?ĭoc AVThat's a bummer about 8mm you are correct in 7.92 x 57JS, I hand load for my K98 with 200g noslers running around 2650FPS it would be convent but those are max loads also. I have a Turk M1890 action, and after some 20 years, picked up an FN 7,65 Carbine Barrel (Commercial) which will thread up beautifully into the small shank reciever. Keep to the original 45,000 CUP levels of the original 7,65mm Round Nose load. The M1890 and M1891 action is definitely NOT suitable for "8mm" whatever that may be (ie, 7,9x57 ). Whilst the Turks did convert some of their M1890 Mausers to 7,9mm in 1929, they did not last very long.hardly any have come to either the US or Aus.
