    Just managed to buy a Peruvian model 1909 today all matching, on an auction for 351 euros 😃 good shape and very good bore, about 98% bluing. Not refurbished.

    Seems like the Peruvian Mauser owners need to set up a sort of bolt exchange program. That way they can try to match bolt and rifle numbers match up.

    The 1909 is actually a firearm I shot a hell of alot growing up. I always was slightly afraid of it growing up because it seemed to be such a powerful firearm. Eventually it became my favorite, and I fell in love with high power bolt guns, namely Mauser.

    Ian, greetings from Argentina, I'm the proud son of an Argentine Mauser 1909 owner. The caliber itself for the Argentine Mauser is 7.65x54 but according to some literature ammunition was later manufactured in 7.65x53 although all Arg Mauser chambers kept the 7.65x54 profile (don't know for how long because I've never seen any 7.65x53 myself, everything available here from local military industries comes in 7.65x54). Honestly I wasn't aware of the latter and when I heard you mentioning the caliber some thoughts crossed my mind and since you're very well knowledgeable in the subject I decided to check before posting.
    Here's an image of 7.65x54 ammunition manufactured at our Fray Luis Beltran ammunition factory.

    Thank you very much for your videos, they're amazing and a pleasure to watch.

      Hi. Made a similar qstn reg. 53 o 54mm cartridge elsewhere. My understanding is that the length was actually 53.5mm (+half a mm) and some mgfs chose 54 & others 53 in their boxes. NB: no documentation at hand to back this story so far.

    • @DarkLanceAR
      @DarkLanceAR 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​ @Nicolas Leupold Indded. Just as a particular note, in Argentina all Mauser ammunition manufactured by both main military ammo factories (Fabricaciones Militares and Fray Luis Beltran) is labeled as "7.65x54 Mauser Argentino" in their respective boxes.

    I'm looking forward to the 1935 model video. My father picked one up when he was a pup. At the gun store he said they had a great big barrel full of them caked with grease and they cost next to nothing. It was chambered for .30-'06 and was the first rifle I ever fired.

  • @robertkubrick3738
    @robertkubrick3738 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome! I had an interarms sporterized 1909 Argentine rechambered to 30-06 with the flat sight. My childhood friend had a 91 in 7.65 Mauser and we fired 7.62 NATO through it because the only 7.65 ammo locally available at the time was Norma at a cost of $1 a round 37 years ago. The shoulder moving 2mm forward when the case fire formed lowered the effective pressure of the 7.62 but still useful. I reloaded the resulting short neck 7.65 Mauser cases and they shot fine but reduce the loads 10% because with the short neck is going to cause reduced powder capacity

I just bought a pair of them, one a k31 and the other what i suspect is a 1896/11 model that i picked up for 275 each. I would love to learn more about this series of rifles.

    Peru also bought 98k rifles from Nazi germany in 1936, they bought a lot more German weapons but few made it to Peru because allied pressure there was even orders for panzer IV tanks to replace the panzer 38T that Peru bought in 1939 from Czechoslovakia. Interesting stories not well known.

  • @dannyhanny1191
    @dannyhanny1191 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another great video, Ian, thank you. Can we finally go as far as to say that any modern-manufactured interchangeable-part war rifles that saw the rigors of war and arsenals can be deemed 'correct' if only the bolt (or, in really modern rifles, bolt carrier groups) is mismatched? We all know that parts break on war rifles, and that parts are interchanged for maintenance. For America's modern AR-based platforms, considering the BCG's aren't serialized, one has to wonder just how many are 'mismatched' and would, thus, be worth less to collectors if held to the same standards we hold older bolt-action weapons to. I understand that Russian-capture mix-and-match is something else entirely, but I'd venture to guess that even the Germans - who are known to be rigid on serializing everything - when push came to shove, mismatched bolts to K98's on occasion to keep rifles working. At least, that's what this small-time enthusiast and collector wonders about.

    Ian please excuse me if someone else has put this in the comments earlier but I have not seen anyone mention this.
    The Lange Vizier sights are quite common on the M93 Spanish mausers, many having been converted to 7.62mm NATO.
    Their sight picture is even worse as they have an awful pair of front sight protector 'ears' that are extremely close to the sight blade making the sight picture terribly cluttered.

    After consulting this video and taking apart my (unfortunately) sporterized Argentine Mauser, I've come to the conclusion.......that it has the original barrel. It has the handshake acceptance mark on the side of the sight block, which looks like it held a ladder sight because of the hinge on the back, a Z or N stamped under the stock instead of a Sig mark, and has the matching serial number on the side of the barrel.
    Is it a bad thing that my uncle, who owned it previously, has been running spitzer ammunition through it?

      they estimate that there are approx. 70,000,000 mauser type guns in the world, and Mauser alone has made some 18,000,000-25,000,000, not exactly a rare piece, except for maybe condition!!! I've seen old Mausers at gun shows around Ohio go for between a 150.00 and 375.00!!!

      Torres75 In my opinion any model 98 large ring standard length Mauser is worth at least $400 just in the action alone. Keep them military, or turn very poor condition rifles into sporters. You won't find finer quality rifles today unless you're spending $700+. I buy them all the time whenever I can get them with the metal not very pitted. Usually they just need a good cleaning and military calibers are usually more than suitable for hunting.
      Small ring cock on close Mausers aren't as desirable.

      Torres75 I wouldn't bash on the mosins too much. With some TLC and a few accurizing tricks most of mine shoot MOA or Sub-MOA with my hand loads. I have one with a Zeiss scope and Timney trigger that will make one ragged hole 10 shot groups at 100 yards- and that's in an unbedded Russian wood stock. They are a fairly unrefined action and vastly slower to operate than the Mauser but I wouldn't call them garbage. The surplus tin ammo is trash though.
      I agree the west coast is really deteriorating in terms of gun rights. If Washington gets any worse and institutes an assault weapons ban I'll move out to Montana/Idaho/Wyoming.

    The problem with the number matches is the same that happens with spanish mausers, mainly with m1916

    A big lot of those 1909 mausers were destroyed by the peruvian government in 2010 or 2011, also the 1935 pattern were the ones rechambered for 30.06, not 1909. The ones that weren't destroyed still keep the original configuration

    I might also add my 91 Peruvian shot both round nose and spit zeros equally well. In the 70's shooting bud's and I used to shoot a man sized dong at 350-450 yards. My 91 shot as well as any of the mil-surp rifles we collected. With the then expensive Norma ammo close to five bucks a box. I rarely missed the long range dong with Norma or hand loaded ammo.
    During that era we split a lot of 7.65 Turk ammo. Best I recall shipping cost more than the ammo. The Turk 765 was by far, bar none the worse ammo I've ever used. Not t simply dirty but at least 50% hang fired and about 10% duds.

    They probably had matching number guns but sold them for a premium. You want an unmatched gun $150 you want a matched number gun $500.

    Interarms did a lot of sketchy things... Good business decision regarding the purchase of the rifles with the bolts separate for sure. But, total laziness when it came to matching the original bolts. The same can be said for CIA with the Mosins and their bayonets. So it can be largely said that importers were the ones who destroyed the originality of many if not most Milsurps. It might be interesting sometime if you could look into the 3000 1909 Argentine's manufactured in 1911 that had a separate and weird s/n range - not published but I presume they were in the range M3998-M6998. I've often wondered why they did this and if it were for a special use?
