I am from Argentina, this was my first rifle back in 2000. A really beatifull and very precise firearm. Great video!!!!

I'm a beginning C&R guy, and have a Winchester Model 71, Mosin, SKS, Martini Cadet, and a few other oldies... but my 1909 is easily my favorite. It's just such a beautiful gun. The machining is so precise and the action so smooth, and the walnut wood is just gorgeous. Such a handsome gun.

Gotta love the Mausers

@@AP2020_Outdoors I've always been aware of the Mausers, but until relatively recently I just thought of them as the K98 German guns. Now, thanks to this channel as well as Ian at Forgotten weapons and Othias and Mae at C&Rsenal, I'm gaining an appreciation for these guns. I was never aware of the many variants of Mausers and the development of what we know as the Mauser action. I was always more of an American centric enthusiast, Browning, Winchester, Remington and so on (yes I know Browning did a lot of work in Europe, but I still think of him as an American designer.)

I either had a 1891 or a 1909 Argentine 7.65. Ammo was scarce & very expensive. I got rid of it like a fool. The gun was beautiful - truly a work of art.

Notice the bank vault sound of cycling the 1909 Argentine Mauser bolt. Sounds different from many other Mauser 98's -- highest quality possible gun.

Love the Argentine. Can make beautiful custom guns out of them and they have the steel strength for magnums

I bought a sporterized 1891 for $99 a few years ago. One of the best deals I've ever scored. Plenty of them out there like mine for customizing. I hate seeing them cut down in the first place, but if people find a cut one and want to customize it, I'm happy to see them make the best of it.

I'm in the UK and hopefully i'll be picking up my firearms license in a few months time, the first rifle I intend to buy is going to be a Gewehr 98. Can't beat old milsurp rifles! Love the videos guys, keep up the good work!

Damn Argentine Mausers are so nice. Love my 1891 and 1909 carbine.

Years ago I use to smith 1908 Brazilian Mauser rifles.. I have several in different calibers.. One of my favorites is the long 1908 in 7 x57 Lyman peep sight on the rear original sight on front.. Great shooter.. Found exact replacement new barrel in cosmoline years ago and built a really good shooter... Mike in Louisiana

your videos are so high quality it makes for a excellent viewing excperience. Never stop making videos.

Hat's off my late father's custom rifle is 1909 Argentine chambered in 30-06 the bolt was turned down so it could be scoped all numbers match the barrel is a Santa Barbara 3 star barrel 24 inch's blond walnut stock done in 25 coats of Birchwood Casey true oil target trigger no take up stock is weighted and a recoil pad Still have it learned how to shoot with it when I was ten years old now being 42 nobody will get there hands on this one love the channel keep up the fight

Thanks man for the review on this particular mauser. Great gun!

Just picked one of these babies up at the Knob Creek spring mg shoot for a song. The Argentine guns are tack drivers. In terms of Mauser variants, second only to the Swedish M96 as far as I'm concerned.

Such cool stuff! You guys are awesome, thank you so much!!

The center setting on the safety is actually to assist in disassembly of the bolt, just like on a 1903 Springfield rifle.

Just now saw this video. Love the old Argentines. The round was developed (or at least adopted by Belgium) in 1889. The Argentines adopted it in 1891 and used it up until they adopted the 7.62 NATO round. In a large ring action, the 7.65x53 round is easily every bit as effective as the .308 Winchester, which mean that the .308 is nothing new and the Argentines have been doing its job for many facades before it's inception.

Just got a 1908 Brazilian yesterday and I am beyond excited to get my hands on it once it arrives. Mauser craftsmanship with a little South American zest

The milsurp videos are the best, I love them as much as you guys. I love all the mauser variations.

Old metal, old wood = all good

Outstanding! Yes, there is an encyclopedia written on Mausers. Many of the Argentinian rifles were sporterized to 308, and jig bend the bolt handle, Fajen stocked and bedded. It's in the action. Maybe the next time y'all revisit the Mauser, you can give a collectors' lesson on Ring Size of the numerous variants.

Wonderful consistency; it really seems to love that PPU ammunition.

I had the Argentine Mauser 1909 to parade with a bayonet, at the Argentine Military College, one more heavy rifle when you had to walk at a goose pace and line up with the 36 men at the head of the battalion

Hi, I like your video. My grandfather was a military in the 50s and still has his Argentine Mauser

I just picked one up this past weekend.

I had the occasion to buy a 6.5 Swedish Mauser from Big 5 for 125.00 in 2000 perfect blond stock finish on the steel was flawless as well and one of the most accurate rifles I have owned. If I remember correctly it had Husqavarna markings on it.

Many Custom Mauser rifle builders, including myself consider this as the pinnacle 98 action to build a rifle on. My favorite is a custom rifle chambered in .25-06 that is a tack driver. Shooting 100 grain PEP bullets, deadly medicine for coyotes.

I was lucky enough to go to this one gun range and this very nice man with a kar98k was shooting next to me. I asked him about it and apparently his father had served in france and brought all sorts of spoils like the kar, I believe a luger or two, and I think he also brought a bunch of other rifles and an MG 42 or 34. He allowed me to shoot his kar and I tell you, it had no recoil and the trigger was crisp. I own a mosin and it is the complete opposite lol. Germany has some excellent rifles.

My three most enjoyable to shoot Mausers include 6.5 Swede, 7.65 Arg and of all things a GEW 88/05. All soft shooting and very accurate.

i appreciate and thank you for review Argentina weapons, from La Pampa ... thank you very much!

I had one similar to that chambered in 30/06 bought it at a surplus store for $75 20 years ago.makes me wish I never got rid of it .

I have one nearly in mint condition, but mine have peep and globe sights made here in argentina specially for the 1909. Is my more precise shooting rifle. and very fun to shoot. One note: In 1913 in the camp perry championship , the Argentine shooting team achieved the following medals with this rifle: 300M army rifle prone gold silver 300M army rile standing silver 300M army rifle 3x20 shots silver bronze

I have a couple of 1909 Argentine actions that I will be building custom bolt guns out of. So far, I'm thinking 7mm Mauser (just cuz I like the round) and 6.5 PRC. I also agree with you about the 6.5 Swedes. Those are beautiful guns with outstanding metallurgy.

Great video as always. I definitely got hooked with my first milsurp, just a Mosin like most everybody. 1942 Tula 91/30 for $79.99 from Big 5 Sporting goods, back in 2007. Since then, the milsurp collection has grown, and I'm trying to get as many as I can before they all go away. I got a bnz 45 Kriegsmodel K98k and a VKT M39, those are my favorites, along with my SA M1 Garand. Just got to love the classics and wondering where these old rifles went to, just wishing they could talk. Highly recommended to pick up and own at least one milsurp rifle, but just like Eric said, you might just get hooked!

Privipartisan ammo for the 7.5 x 53 round has too small of a rim (not SAAMI spec) to extract reliably on my Argentine. Am thinking about buying Norma brass to shoot in this gun. Also, with my rifle, the sights are regulated to zero at 300-400 yards at the closest sight setting. I had to buy a high front sight and file fit it to zero at 100 yards from Brownells.

Great post!

Patreon support here. Your long range mil-surp videos are my favorite. Not sure why. They just are. Please keep 'em coming. (Hey, how about shooting a handgun from there?)

I took my M96 Swedish mauser out the other day only had 10 rounds so I shot a group first time out got a 1.25” group with iron sights at 100 yards can’t wait to improve on that just bought 60 rounds from sportsman guide

I’m already hooked I have a 1946 Mossberg 46B 22 LR boltaction rifle that my great uncle Dayton gave me when I was 13 years old that would be 1983 LOL. I now own a Mosin-Nagant 90/30. And my next hunt I am looking for a Mauser I don’t know which kind yet. I guess it will be whatever I can find for a reasonable price. That will add to my collection of A.R. 15‘s, AK-47 or as it would be called a AKM in 7.62x39. I haven’t got one in 5.45 x 39 yet. I did say yet. And of course my wonderful collection of Ruger 1022‘s. I really enjoy shooting those. Well wish me luck on my next find will be the Mauser. Thank you guys again. It is true they definitely do not make them like they used to.

Jeez eric you're an incredible shot

One of my local gun stores has 5 of them. I've always wanted to buy two, one really good and one really bad and rechamber the bad one to a more common cartridge.

That rifle is absolutely gorgeous

I have a K31 chambered in 308 Winchester from the Swiss factory with important marks they are extremely rare i would like to send my rifle to Eric and Chad for review how do i contact them?

Its great to learn the history and functionally of our military rifles

I like this old gun.I really liked the carbine you previously showcased. I have a couple old Lee Enfield British 303 cal. Two are sportarized and the 3rd is original.Dad bought 2 for $15.00 each when I was 7 years old.The sportarized one was the one I killed my 1st deer with atv8 years old.

Love my M1938 Swede, even though it was sporterized before I got it, but it shoots Federal 140gr awesome. It has a 6x40mm Burris on it.

Awesome Mauser rifle Eric !!!!!!!!

Beautiful rifle.

The absolute best made rifle in military history. Fit and finish that even K31's can't touch. Mine is brand spanking new unissued example. I believe the reason for such perfection because those where made by the domestic rifle department of DWM. Basically attention to detail that is not given to rifles made for the military in general.

Love it

My first rifle was a 1890 something Argentine Carbine in 7.65x53, the only ammo available was surplus, first time I fired it a flame over 12 inches came out the barrel. Quit using because of the ammo that was available, one day at the range it blew the barrel ring off and I was worried of the safety of it. But I sure did love that rifle

Thanks do not have rifle anymore. I bought this is in 1970, when I got back from Vietnam for a whopping $59, great little rifle for the truck but only Interarms had ammo and it was all old military surplus... When Sam Cummings died in 1998 they went out of business. Sam Cummings was famous for supplying countries, revolutionaries, and the US Government. He was the largest supplier of small arms in the world at one period in time. Thanks for the info....

I have a sportorized 30-06 1909 Argentinean mauser and a 7x57 Venezuelan issue mauser

I have an 1891 Argentine Mauser and its shocking how well it shoots , even with an amature like my self behind the trigger. I need to learn the skill of re loading as my WWI rifle collection is getting out of hand and the ammo is not so cheap.

Eric totally missed the opportunity to say "go-for it". 22:24

I know its not a Mauser but Gew88s are very underrated, would love to see Eric and Chad pull out theirs again!

I hired a gunsmith to transform an Argentine 1909 Mauser into a long range 308 sniper rifle that is equipped with an Adams & Bennett SS fluted barrel, topped with a KDF muzzle break, Timney trigger and dropped the whole thing into a quilted maple stock. It kicks less then a .22 cal rifle and at longer ranges you can watch impact occur. Love my Mausers!

wished I still had some of old military rifles I purchased when I was younger 50 -90 dollar rifles are 500-900 dollar rifles now...

7.65 x 53 Should be a modern round.

Hola amigo estaría bien que hicieras un vídeo de efectos de balas en caza real como hago yo en mi canal.

the Belgians adopted the 7.65 in 1889, IIRC

very cool

Terrible fierro💪

1889 on that caliber. And this rifle along with the Chilean 1912 were part of an arms race between chile and Argentina. 1891 argentine, 1895 Chilean, 1909 argentine, 1912 Chilean. Chile was worried about an Argentinian invasion, I have a 1912/61, converted to 308 in 61. Probably my favorite guns, it's so smooth and amazes me that it's over 100 years old

I'm a Swede guy but there's something about those receivers in the white look so good...

Fist bumps 👊👊👊👊👊, high fives/pats on the back ✋✋✋✋✋, extra thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍

Just picked up a 1909 argentine thats been sporterized probably some 50 or 60 years ago. Some mismatched parts, but im very excited. Want to throw a scope on it. Cheap as hell ammo

I have a 1891 Argentina made in 1894. It is my favorite rifle. Even more than my gew98

Very nice👌🏻

I have a M12 300 win mag and yes they are still making good rifles

Also on your benches shooting and reloading do you have any favorite design you liked?

Great vid , thanks! how do you compare this one to the 1891 in terms of accuracy? ( I saw your video on the 1891 Argentine Mauser as well)

Got me a 1909 Argentine that was rechambered in 30-06 sadly. Was looking into reloading with .311 bullets but I’m hearing that the neck won’t fit the chamber if I do that. So now I’m on the fence on wether or not to re ream it 7.65-06 style or pop a Lothar Walther barrel in a caliber more to my liking such as 7x57

Btw the 6.5x55 ppu I just got on SG was $14.97 a box picked up 3 boxes

A friend of mine bought one of those at Cabela’s a while back and we like to go to the range and try to put shoot each other with me using my 91/30. Both are great guns. On a side note IV8888 could you do a video on the Taurus TH40 or TH9? I’m looking to get one for its ambi features to replace my SD40VE.

Nice rifle indeed!

I have an 1891 argentine carbine that is in the 7.65x53

Hey Eric! I just got an AMD-65 Do you have one? I am glad I chose an oddball AKM variant over the Wasr, and their muzzle brakes make the biggest fireballs I've seen. I'd love it if you could showcase one, and maybe even compare the array of mil-spec /factory muzzle brakes/ flash reducers, slant tips, the classic T tip baffle, a lantac?

My father has a sporterized one. Might buy it off of him and get an original stock

You guys should do a long range test and comparison of the Winchester extreme point ammunition with other proven rounds. We have seen the ballistic performance in gel but videos of long range accuracy are scarce or non-existent. It would be nice to know the abilities before spending $50 or more to go to a long distance shooting range.

What hearing protection are you using? I'm looking into getting the "shooter" style and there's many out there with both positive and negative reviews.

Pardon my history nerd but 7.65x53 was developed by Mauser for Belgium along the the Mauser 1889 rifle. The 1889 got around, the ammo even more so.
