    An Uruguayan rifle converted from a German model in France at the behest of an Italian that's often mistaken for a Greek.

    Ian, great video! FINALLY someone made a video about these. I love shooting my 71/94
    just a couple corrections: There is no ejector. The only Mauser 1871's that had ejectors were the Jagerbuchse rifles that were used in Africa.
    The ammunition problem Uruguay had was that they had the wrong cartridges shipped to them! There were several variants of the 6.5 Daudeteau and the correct cartridge was the 6.5 Daudeteau No.12
    Uruguay went on to convert a very small quantity of Rolling Blocks as well, but this was done in country, I only know of 3 surviving examples.

      @@ricardoM113 Hi Ricardo, better late than never! If I understand it correctly the 6.5 x 53.5 Dodeteau is almost identical to the early 6.5 Carcano _rimmed_ cartridge. If it was based on the Carcano is unclear, and it would not be a good idea to shoot the Carcano in this Mauser. Since the rimmed Carcano cartridge is just as rare as the Dodeteau it also doesn't make sense to manufacture one from the other. However I understand that you can convert .303 British to either one by sizing, fire-forming, and trimming the case. (But my information is third hand so that may be incorrect.)

    I had watched,and enjoyed this video some months back. A few days ago, i was in a shop with my buddy, where he was doing a private party transfer (hey, it's Kalifornia). The shop owner was showing one of these, a full length rifle, to a regular customer, very cheap. The customer was a little hesitant because he wasn't sure of the chambering. I remembered some infobits of the story, and the fact it was in 6.5 Daudetau. The owner had printouts from C&Rsenal about it, as well as some other info. We also looked at COTW. I opined that brass could probably be made from various rimmed cartridges, and certainly any rimmed or semi-rimmed 6.5. I also suggested Huntington's for brass, or any of the custom loaders. (I was trying to help the shop owner sell it). The customer decided to wait to decide until he could do more research. I have since found that brass can be made from 7.62x54R without too much trouble. Don't know if other 6.5 dies can be used with the sizing die adjusted, or what (depends on body diameter and taper, of course). Anyway, it was a fun encounter and we had a nice chat. I'm sure it's fun to shoot. The ballistics are basically identical to .30-30 with a longer than 20" barrel. I may see if it's still there when my buddy goes back to pick up his gun....... . ☺ Great video as always. Thank you

    One reason for the small 6,5mm caliber might be that they needed a low recoil because of the weaker locking lug of the blackpowder m71 rifle.

    • @Ensign_Cthulhu
      @Ensign_Cthulhu 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The issue is not recoil; the issue is CHAMBER PRESSURE. You can have a heavy-recoiling cartridge that operates at lower pressure than a lighter-recoiling one - e.g. maximum heavy-bullet loads in .303 British are actually at lower-pressure than maximum loads in .223 Remington, but I can tell you from experience which I would rather fire ten of in rapid succession.
      The small calibre is a good way to increase the ballistic efficiency of a bullet of the same weight and the same nose shape, and it also improves penetration. Google ballistic coefficient and sectional density and you'll see what I mean. Various nations had varying ideas of what constituted the best set of ballistic compromises; the general split in the major powers seems to have been 6.5mm (0.264") vs somewhere just north of 0.300" (the various 30 cal, .303, 7.62, 7.7, 8mm). In the long run, it seems the 6.5 advocates may end up being right.

    • @ThePerfectRed
      @ThePerfectRed 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well thats what I meant, the energy that the cartridge thrusts at the locking lug(s). The m71 has only one lug I think, whereas later designs were built much more sturdy for smokeless powder cartridges. The 6,5mm is a good alternative, it probably has an intermediate chamber pressure yet offers a good ballistic performance, at least at medium range.

    I'm wondering - Why are you wearing a T-shirt from KACO - a German company that makes solar-power inverters?

    • @ForgottenWeapons
      @ForgottenWeapons  8 ปีที่แล้ว +50

      I used to work in the solar power industry, and Kaco was a partner in some big projects we did.

    • @qualquerdomundo

      Because the t-shirt was free, i believe.

    I thought the story was going to be that they somehow converted them into repeaters by machining some sort of Kropatschek style tubular magazine into the fore-stock.

    May make a good hunting rifle or training rifle if you could find or make ammo.

    Pretty sure this rifle takes a modified p53 enfield socket bayonet as well which is also pretty cool.

    Hey Ian, we declared our independence from the Spanish, not the Argentinians. And we fought many wars. Our natural harbor was so good, since we are in the inside curve of the Rio de la Plata and Argentina get all the mud, that every single power at that time wanted this harbor and their lands. So, Portuguese founded the first city, they where kick out by the Spanish, the British try, twice, Argentinians and Brazilians try, being the Bazilians who retain half of the country. Actual Rio Grande do Sul use to be Banda Oriental (Uruguay). Anyway you can find a lot of mausers too here, three locking slugs, mostly germans, and two slugs from France and Belgium. Most of them had been rebarreled and still in use for hunting. Lots of Rolling Blocks 7mm mauser too.

  • @Jesses001

    Neat rifle. The carbine would be a handy rifle to carry in the woods for some casual hunting...you know if the ammo was not nearly impossible to get.

  • @StPaul76
    @StPaul76 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Beautiful little carbine. The bolt and the lock-up looks quite fragile to fire full power high velocity rifle ammo though.. Especially considering 1870's and -80's metallurgy. Did you get any accuracy out of the weapon..?

  • @JC622Kilo57J
    @JC622Kilo57J 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just inherited one of the full-length rifle. It has been in the family (of gun-muggles) for decades and everyone else assumed that it was an Enfield, allegedly a WW1 bring back. Not so.

    At 12:25 it looks like there is almost a clip guide on the receiver. Why is that if it's a single shot rifle?

    • @ForgottenWeapons
      @ForgottenWeapons  8 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      It's not a clip guide, it's where the bolt retention screw and washer stop.

  • @stacybrown3714
    @stacybrown3714 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Now I gotta find one of those. Do you think you could do a video on the Portuguese 1904 Mauser-Vergeiro or even the Brazilian M1904 Mauser-Vergeiro? I am lucky enough to have a Portuguese m04/39 but just haven't been able to find much information on this breed of rifle.

  • @USSEnterpriseA1701
    @USSEnterpriseA1701 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    You know, between the full length rifles rear sight and the shape of the barrel shank, at around 12:34 you could be forgiven for thinking you were looking at a very, very early Mosin rifle. Of course those of us that know about the very, very early Mosins know that Chatellerault was the first actual producer of Mosins before the Russians got Tula, Izhevsk, and Sestroyetsk up and running.

  • @RealLuckless
    @RealLuckless 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Didn't see anyone else asking about it, but I'm rather curious about the thinking behind the clearing rod. Is there anything about the design of it that would have made a slot for use as a cleaning rod somehow difficult? Just seems very odd to issue something like that for soldiers to lug around, but not have it designed such that it would serve far more use in the field.

    they should have added a mannlicher enbloc magazine to that and you'd have a handle light recoiling repeater.

    Ah, god damn, for a second there I hoped it was about the Polish anti-tank rifle Ur (codename "Uruguay", "Ur"), but then I finished reading the title...
    This one is cool, too, don't get me wrong, but I'd love to see you talk more about some Polish guns. :P
    I get it that it wouldn't be easy to lay your hands on them, though.
    Ur (kb ppanc wz. 35), for those still reading, was a Polish anti-tank rifle firing 7,92 × 107 mm DS ammo, developed in secrecy and capable of neutralizing pretty much every German tank in 1939, from under 100m, including Panzer IV (B, C, probably D, they started ramping up armor on them later on). The interesting part, apart from all the secrecy, was what happened with the bullet on impact. ...go and read about it. ;)
    If only you could get your hands on one... Or on Mors (would-be wz 39) machine pistol (nigh impossible).

    Where would one find these rifles and carbines and how much would one expect to pay? I lived in Montevideo for 3 or 4 years and have an affinity for South American arms. As you mentioned, Uruguay has not been a military power ever, so interest in their surplused small arms is rather light. Any help would be appreciated.

    Ian, do you do much reloading? I can imagine time might be an issue, but the reproduction of unavailable cartridges (for your own use) seem the sort of thing you might enjoy.

    • @SlavicCelery
      @SlavicCelery 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don't believe he does, as he referenced someone else making the ammo for him. On the plus side, further down in the comments, he referenced the parent case as 7.62x 54r. That means, reloading that case, isn't that impossible.

    Could you explain where the reloads you need to use in that come from? What sort of modern available round would you need to re-make into that 6.5?

    • @fishcars8078
      @fishcars8078 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      7.62x54R is easiest but 45-70 and 8x56R Mannlicher can also be used. A few places still make and sell brass, but it is expensive. If you load it to fairly low pressure you can get several uses out of each case. CH4D still makes dies, but they are custom order.

  • @MrSmsch
    @MrSmsch 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Newbie question: I might have misunderstood, but I think Ian said this is a black powder gun. Were there self-contained black powder cartridges made, or was it all smokeless by the time self-contained cartridges came around?

    • @ForgottenWeapons

      Yes, there were lots of black powder cartridges.
