I have a 1895 bore war mauser in 7mm, and I love it. Nothing came close to the mauser in the late 1800s.

Three gorgeous guns Ian, as always you knocked it out the park again. Thanks for sharing.

It really is wonderful to wake up to a quality video about a cool Mauser rifle of which I was unaware. Every day is like a little Christmas! Thank you ever so much.

Huh. I might actually know where an 1892 can be found... At the local rifle range, we have a pretty extensive collection of old bolt and lever guns with some significant historical value. Pride of the collection is a beautifully maintained 98K and Jubilee 98. But among these rifles is also an earlier Mauser with ambiguous markings (some components are clearly not original). It matches the 1892 you've presented here pretty much perfectly.

Thanks for the knowledge about Spanish Mausers Ian

My favorite Mauser of all time :). Neat to have a video about it!! :)

Thanks for the video Ian

Thank you , Ian .

For some reason I have always liked the single stack guns , the flush magazine is great and I have had 4 of them but the single stack to me just looks cool

Fantastic video, Ian.

Very nice Ian, keep up the good work.

Such a classy piece.

Just as an additional note, the early Argentine 1891 Mausers also had a rotating magazine lug which was dropped during later production as on my Argentine Mauser built in 1893. I assume that change may have paralleled the Spanish 1892. I always enjoy the history of the forgotten weapons. Thanks.

"Not quite germane" was probably the funniest thing I've heard in a long time, that was a beautiful pun.

That's a very sweet 1893 you're using for comparison! Berlin 1894 mark on the top, first year of manufacture. I have an 1894 Loewe production one. She's got a partially scrubbed receiver(no original S/N or Loewe crest, just a barely legible "A"), mismatched parts, and some modifications like a cut in the receiver to aid in stripper clip reloads, but she's still 7x57. Probably saw use in Cuba or another colonial territory (non-Spanish guns were often sent outside of the homeland iirc) and was kept in use until at least when the receiver cuts for venting gas from a catastrophic failure and stripper clip loading became the norm. Only issue is the 300 meter/yard zero. I love these old Spanish beauties.

This is a great video for a novice to understand what makes the Mauser so distinctive and great.

Three of the trials rifles used a rimless cartridge. Two used the standard 7.65 Mauser cartridge, two used .30-40 Krag, and one used an experimental cartridge consisting of the 7.65 Mauser case loaded with the .30-40 Krag bullet. The experimental round and one of the .30-40 trials rifles used magazines equipped with a cut-off. Only the test rifle using the experimental round and magazine cut-off, aka Mauser #5, passed all the function tests during the first round of testing. The other four rifles suffered from failures to fire, feed, and difficulty in loading. The failures to fire were thought to be the result of operator error. Rifle #5 did well in the second round, but was eliminated in favor of the Krag which performed better under dusty conditions, and due to the testing board's preference of the Krag's ability to be topped off with a round in the chamber. I've always wondered what the board would've done if the 1893 Turk with it's dual stack flush mount magazine and functional cut-off.

US ordnance, historically not the smartest department

7:52 it also post dates it adwell, my Ottoman 1903 has that little section that come up and over

This is very helpful. I have a similar Mauser in 7 x 57 but with a turn bolt and carbine design that has a double-stack internal magazine. There is no model designation that I can find. The top of the receiver ring shows it manufactured Fabrique National.

My best friend and I SAW with our own eyes, a four foot Tandem section ON the floor, a display of surplus Mausers, ALL Cent. and South American 6mm to 8mm. Magazine to '98, rifle and carbine. Hundreds of them and like 25/30 of each kind in that floor display in Sporting Goods. What I know today!!!! Generalissimo Francisco Franco may have been critically alive, but I saw, as marked, Spanish 7mm '92's in that rack. $59.99 each. The "sporterized" at the arsenal ones were an unaffordable at $79.99 & $89.99 each...... All were that way.

Head on to C&Arsenal, they have a whole series on the different Mausers since the model 1871 onwards, up to the Gewehr 98 and variants. The whole evolution of the Mauser bolt action system was covered (and in painful detail, if I might add XDD) by Othais on those videos ;), including the period you're interested in.

7x57mm/.275 Rigby is in the top ten greatest cartridges of all time. Sad that more people don't shoot it, or the ammo companies would be able to produce some killer loads for it.

So, Mauser created the Agile development process over 100 years ago!

So what would happen to all those parts for rifles that were passed over in the upgrade program?

HEHE, Mausers are over rated. Sure its a stronger action but its not as fast and i don't believe there's much difference accuracy wise between both if they are in good condition. Ive got a few Mausers, just the other day i was shooting my Husky m38 Swede at the same time as my SMLE and Martini Enfield, all groups about the same, even though the Swede was shooting match grade pills loaded in once fired Norma brass while Enfileds had to make do with many time fired full sized ppu and no match grade pills! My m38 is late production and in very good condition 9/10 bore/chamber and these are supposed to be "the Mauser" so if it cant show marked improvement in accuracy over a good Enfield what can? I do like the build quality and smoothness of action on the Swede but love the speed of my SMLE and no4 and i also like sights better, even on the SMLE. Note:these all stock as a rock, no sporters or glass here...sure Ive seen(9hole) k98's shoot better, but only with glass! Want to talk glass,Ive shot 1.5moa with mates sporterised (poorly) and scoped(also poorly mounted very old low power glass) no4mk2 with factory ammo, i bet i could squeeze her sub moa if i developed a load and stocked her up properly, not my rifle though, i did already offer to buy a timber set for it but owner not enthusiast or understanding floating no4's doesn't work.

No, don't think that would quite be in the spirit of what I was thinking of.

Nope

I really like all your videos. But something that slightly gets me annoyed all the time is that you are pronouncing german words almost perfectly like Waffenfabrik, but you are making the old american mistake by pronouncing the "w" like an english "w". In german, there is no such pronounciation. All german "W"'s are pronounced like the english "V". We even call the letter "weh", not "doppel- U". And the german "V" is just like an "F". So every time an American says "Waffenfabrik", i am hearing something like "Ouahfenfabouik", because, as you surely know, the german "R" has almost nothing to do with the english one. So much not that in fact one of the hardest words for a german is "Squirrel", what was used alledgedly to identify german spies because it is one of the last words to master perfectly.
