      The original calibre of the
      PORTUGUESE Mod.1904 Mauser was 6.5 X 58 mm. Portuguese. ( From the 6.5x57 Mannlicher).
      It is a Mauser rifle, with a Mannlicher action, commandered by the portuguese Royal Army.
      (The portuguese King D.Carlos, loved Mannlicher rifles ).
      Later, they were converted ,
      ( Republican Governement ),
      to the then standard cal.
      7.92 X 57 Mauser, ( .323" ), by
      Capt. Vergueiro, a military ordenance officer, and also shortening the barrel lenght.h

    I almost forgot Vergueiro is NOT a Mauser action it was based from Gewehr-88/Mannlicher-Schönauer action mated to a Gewehr 95/98 style magazine and stock. That is why people confused them with Mauser because the stock looks similar.

A great shooter on a European Elm stock known for it’s attractive amber/gold/red grain pattern. It’s predecessor the M24/47 is worth a review. The history behind these rifles and their link/lineage to the Belgian and the Chezc VZ is interesting also the K98 figures into it.

    The 1893 mauser changed the game as far as design and functionality. It had served in many conflicts by spanish, latin America, turkey, and the boers. Two versions exist, 1893, 1895, and 1916. It deserves its own category. Mostly available in 7x57. Early turks were 7.65 and later converted to 8x57 to accommodate the new pattern 98/36. Later 1916s were converted to 7.62 cetme. Great videos guys!

There were just so many variations, closest I've found is a Model 95 Oveido with the same barleycorn sites mine has, except it is a straight bolt and mine is a bent bolt. Mine has been Bubba'ed long before I got it, still an incredibly accurate rifle. 7x57 does not play.

It can also be found in 7x57 which was the export version. Vergueiro was ahead of his time with the 6.5 kinda like an early 6.5 Creedmoor.

It was never in general issue and in near perfect condition. Very accurate. I’ve also had two Siamese maulers, one was in awesome condition which I shot as essentially a wildcat in its original caliber. The other was in Terrible shape so I had it made into a 45-70. I also had a Sauer made one that was a German wwii used gun. There were also a Turkish one and an 1896 Swedish.

    I have a 7x57 that was built by my father years ago when he was in gunsmithing school in Trinidad Colorado. He made the barrel and bought an action for it. It is cock on closing and I never really knew what year it was. Watching this video I was able to get a little closer to pinning down the age. 7x57 is my favorite caliber of all the rifles I own and that rifle has taken the two largest elk I have ever harvested. I was able to get my hands on a Ruger M77/270 and had it rebarreled with a Shilen barrel and had it stamped 275 Rigby. Now my old rifle is my pole gun. Named that because my property is covered with lodge pole pine so shots are not very far and I have an original Weaver K-3 post and crosshair scope on it. I hand load so the books I use only show low pressure loads so I have had to experiment a lot but now have some excellent loads. Thanks for the video, it was helpful.

    I'm surprised that there isn't a 7x57 on this list, they are very high quality and weren't used much. But for me, I love my Argentine Mausers. If I had to choose one, it would probably be my 1909 Cavalry Carbine.

    I am fond of my Mausers. The 1896 Swede, in 6.5x55, is just stunning. I have a 22-250 varminter built on a '98 action, dunno which Mauser, but dang, is it accurate! I'm building a custom rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor based on a 1909 Argentine, which is rare among military Mausers with its hinged floor plate. And my most favorite, which isn't a milsurp, is my Fabrique Nationale commercial Mauser in .308.

    The owner of the ranch which adjoins mine in the Free State province of South Africa had inherited from his father, who had been State President, a Mauser rifle which had been part of a shipment sent to the Free State Boer republic. just as the war broke out. The shipment had been diverted to Buenos Aires where it remained in its factory grease until being discovered in the early seventies and handed over to the SA government. One of these rifles was presented to my neighbour's father. One evening at dinner, he showed me this rifle. It was truly the most beautiful firearm I have ever seen Being in brand new condition, one got an idea of the standard of craftsmanship in the late 1800's. It had the Free State coat of arms and the letters O V S (Orange Free State).

    The markings on the stock of the M-96 (Sweden) is because that 6,5x55 was originally loaded with a heavy round nose.
    That was changed in 1940 to a lighter pointed bullet so instead of changing the sights of the rifle "överslaget" on different distance were marked on the stock.
    By the way Moose is named älg in Swedish and elk in English.
    So 9,3x57 is used mostly on moose in Sweden.

I have numerous Turkish M38s that shoot very good and have rebarreled one of them to a long 7.65x53 Argentine and put the Turk sights back on it in a full military stock. I want to do the same thing with a M96 Swede barrel. When the Turks used the small ring barrel shank on an M38 action it was a blessing.

    I bought a yugo M24/52 mauser last before the pandemic. I looked this rifle up, I couldn't find a lot of widespread info about this gun. But basically (from what I've read) it's a Czech vz24, because of the hardware that's on it and the stock has finger drives in it and such. I read that they were given as war reparations after WW2 to the yugoslavians. And in the 1950s they started a short lived refurbishment program and redesignated these vz24's as M24/52's. It has a brand new, from 50 or so years ago, barrel on it. Bluing is outstanding. Great condition stock. Its absolutely beautiful, I love it! I put a brass stacker mount on it with a scope and killed a big 8pt last year. Probably the best mauser, in terms of quality, I'll ever have.

They were both arsenal refinished after WW2 and are in outstanding condition. When I fired the M48, it immediately reminded me of the fact that I have an old mountain bike injury in my shoulder. I've never fired the 24/47. Ironically, the 8mm ammo I have is marked 1939 from...Turkey.
