Beautiful Rare Peruvian and Argentinian Mauser Carbines

Here's a look at two rare Peruvian Mauser carbines

my first rifle I ever bought was a vz. 24 Czechoslovakian Mauser, instantly fell in love with it when I picked it up.

I am a Mauser enthusiast and I searched for anything on KZbin where I might see mauser rifles I am unfamiliar with. This video was excellent! Thank you!!

Pre-war or post war military contract Mauser style rifles after WWI are always made to the highest standard of workmanship. My favorites are the Czech VZ 24s, Model 1922s Turkish contract, FN Model 1924s, and the hard to find Mauser Banner 1935s. South American Mausers are awesome because majority of them that are chambered in the smooth recoiling 7mm Mauser are just fantastic to shoot. I just love the 7mm Mauser cartridge handles. My Chilean Model 1895 is a dream to shoot. One of these days I would love to get my hands on a VZ 24 or an FN Model 1924 in 7mm Mauser. I have shot these rifles before and it doesn't kick my ass as the 7.92X57mm chambered Czech, Chinese, Turkish, or Persian. Once again fine collection.

The very first center fire rifle I purchased with my own money (from a paper route) was a Peruvian Mauser carbine exactly like the "smoothbore" model you featured in this video....Only mine had very nice rifling and most of it's original finish. I was young and very, very inexperienced when it came to sorting out the many Mauser chamberings at the time (truthfully, I STILL have problems, all these years later, sorting them out most of the time). I fired a handful of milspec rounds through my carbine and in short order the bolt release lever, which I had suspected would be a weak point on that particular carbine just from eyeballing it and it's "purplish coloration" in relation to the bluing on the rest of the carbine., simply broke off under recoil of the last round I fired. Since gunsmiths were few and far between in our area at the time, the internet simply did not exist, and a paper route would only pay for so much, I traded that carbine for the first center fire long arm that I ACTUALLY got to take deer hunting....A 1971 edition Winchester Model 94 which I kept for a number of years before trading it in for my handgun....And by the way, earlier this year I happened upon and purchased yet another 1971 edition Winchester Model 94, in mint condition which hopefully, I will take afield during deer season this year. Excellent video on a carbine that most folks have never seen, owned or fired but which I have never forgotten.

My father worked for a gunsmith back in the early 60's and built a .243 out of a short ring 1933 Argentine Mauser. I still have it. Along with it's Douglas barrel it's a real smooth tack driver!

Great looking rifles Sir. I especially like the Peruvian example Myself. I like the patina, and deep rich stock color. Thanks for showing this video Sir.

Another great video. Thanks for showing us some of the 'different' Mausers from your awesome collection.

Bolt actions carbines are such fun. I've had the opportunity to fondle a SMLE No.5 Jungle Carbine a while ago, having the center of gravity of the gun so close to you really improves the handling!

I have a kind of sporterised Argentine 91 carbine that some one took off the rear site, added a lyman peep site and chopped the stock up. I have not hunted with it in years but it is a great rife for the pacific northwest brush.

[@aldixon1977]

Thanks for the video, I like your presentations...

[@jimferro4054]

Great video. I have an Argentine Mauser Model 1909 which was given to me by my Dad. It has been re-chambered (and/or re-barreled?) in .30-06. It is sporterized (but only slightly) and I believe it was imported by Interarms in the 1970s. it is a great shooter and looks very similar to your Peruvian Carbine.

[@olecanole8596]

I too, have a Peruvian carbine like yours. After I acquired it, I posted it on

[@rickbattle5706]

Great video. I will have to keep my radar on next time I am at a gun show. Maybe I can run across a good 98! :-)

[@jeffreyreardon7487]

7.65x54 is the Belgian (FN) designation for 7.65X53 Turk/ Argentine.

[@bullseyedixon5660]

great video

[@davidwagner4671]

wow there great

[@prairiefalcon9494]

what are your thoughts on the Chilean Mauser M1912? Thanks.

[@brasstard7.627]

have you shot that carbine with the worn out barrel?

[@TheAngler2210]

Does anyone know why the Israeli Mausers always seem to have the winter trigger guard? Was that a special request or did BRNO just happen to have a lot of those laying around?

[@bradleyh5240]

Where are the crest marks they’re supposed to be a big Crestmark on top of the barrel with two hand shaken looks like an arrow and then the sun above it. What’s going on there? Cause mine has all that.
