Chilean Mauser Evolution and History

[@cristobalstark6929]

I appreciate your knowledge about my country’s history, i can assure you that not many people here would know about the information displayed here

[@david-iu9ni]

As Chilean i am very proud of the prussian heritage 🇨🇱🤝🇩🇪🇦🇹

[@mnpd3]

I picked up two Chileans many years ago. One was in original condition, so I left it untouched. The other had been butchered by hacksawing off the barrel, so I went whole hog on creating a custom shooter. The sporterized one has had a dozen major alterations and is topped with an ancient Redfield varmint scope. It is also the most accurate rifle I own.

If only we chileans could get our hands on these mausers... good job u guys!

Chile also had Mannlicher M1886s - the only significant export customer for that rifle IIRC. I own an ex Chilean rifle. Love your channel - keep up the good work!

[@General.Longstreet]

Your channel is one of the best gun channels on you tube. Fantastic information on little known history. Brilliant stuff!

[@MegaGrizzly100]

Bit late I know, back when I bought my Chilean 1895, I was really excited because I found one that wasn't German, or Argentinean. Beautiful gun with the dark wood with a super interesting, albeit dark history just in the markings. It has 5 notches cut out in the wood just under the receiver. Now knowing more about the history of these rifles, my love for this rifle has become greater.

[@Vicentemetalero]

Greetings from Chile, I just can't believe how much you know about Chile's process to buy these Mausers ❤.

[@MilsurpWorld]

Thanks! Chilean Mausers are one of my favorites.

[@Vicentemetalero]

this gives me more of a reason to buy a Chilean Mauser, now knowing the history.

[@borderm3]

Im looking to trade my 1912 7.62 for an m1 garand, if anyone is interested!

[@tommiller7537]

Hopefully buying a Chilean 1895 here soon. I'm glad I found this video, now I know more about the gun!

[@spanky174]

I just bought a 1912 Chilean Styer short rifle chambered in .30.06. Thanks for the video it was very informative. I am looking for a hand guard for the short rifle if anyone has or knows of one. Thank you.

[@petermonck5448]

Fascinating information. Superbly crafted. 🇱🇷👍😎☕ Thanks.

[@sniper59jl]

Congratulations, very professional and complete video.¡¡¡¡, Very clear and detailed. Thanks ....¡¡

[@frederickhuicochea46]

Just picked up a Modelo 1912 this summer with the original sling all matching numbers except for the cleaning rod. It is import marked by SAMCO. Have not taken it to the field just yet, will have it checked out for go/no go and headspace first. Barrel is shiney and bright with pretty good rifling, over all in very good shape.Thanks for all the info.

[@DaveDeVault]

I have a 1912 carbine. It was a mess. It took me a week to get it cleaned and put back together. I don't think it was ever taken apart after it left the factory until I got it.

[@spanky174]

Same here.

[@anthonyhayes1267]

There's one I'm looking at in my local gun store. It needs a new rear sight spring but it's a really good price

[@MilsurpWorld]

Which model?

Which stripper clip best fits the 1935? Some "7x57" I purchased online don't fit the bridge very well.

[@Duke1983-lz4hd]

Great video on the ‘95! Where do you get a correct sling? Thanks!

You must of coined "Prussianization," I couldn't find any reference to this anywhere on the internet???

[@diablo5617]

I just bought one with a A1501 on the receiver

[@WolvCustoms]

Hope you do another podcast with Will. He’s a huge asset to the podcast. Maybe future podcast do one on Japanese rifles/handguns I know he’s more the French expert but maybe something of that nature

[@jl8543]

Very nice video and information.. The Germans should have stuck with the flat shooting 7x57 Mauser round with its more gentle recoil rather than the 8x57 Mauser.. IMHO..

[@Dr._Nope]

I just bought an 1895 Chilean today! Might pick up an 1886 Steyr Kropatschek tomorrow!

[@jimlind9449]

AWESOME informative, well-done video! Subbed and subscribed. Keep up the excellent work! One question, what is the "parade hook" on the front "H" band used for, and the extra hole in the front of the trigger guard running through sideways used for? (On the 1912 steyr mauser) Thanks again.

[@charlene2400]

I have several of these- 1895, and 1912 in original 7mm, and 1912-61 in 7.62. My 1912-61 is one of the blued afterwards models, and didn't get the -61 stamping. It seems to have been done extremely well, but still prefer the 7mm.

[@renflo86]

awesome video!!

[@desabc221]

Can you do an Argentine mauser video?

[@marcogram1216]

Once again, I really like this channel but I'm regretfully thankful that's it's not "mainstream" yet. Those Cabarrellos Mausers are expensive enough. I've only handled one and have to agree. They are super awesome.

[@gilbertgarcia6247]

How do I get a hold of a Mauser shirt? Thanks

[@mrmoofle]

I remember seeing Chilean Mausers at Woolworth's in the late 90s for like $80. Should've bought a couple, but I was young and poor.

[@bmoesucka8619]

love the ww2 semi auto collection ur very lucky

[@idahodiy]

So I see "1912 short rifle" and "1912 carbine" on a lot of sites. Are these the same rifle? I see some discrepancy getting thrown around with the barrel length too.

[@spanky174]

Did you ever find out? I bought a Chilean Styer 1912 short barrel Chambered in .30.06, as was described. The barrel is 21 inches. I have heard them described both ways as well. I have learned that they bouhgt carbines and had some long rifles cut down. Mine was not cut but was bored out to the .30.06 that it is now from 7mm originally. I am looking for a hand guard for the short rifle if anyone knows of where I can find one.

[@thomasw4216]

Purchased an 1895 that has been converted to 7.62 NATO and wanted to know more about the history. Really loved this video, wish I had your warning before buying a converted 1895, but happy with the purchase regardless. 😅

[@Jreb1865]

Fired these 1895 Mausers for years, and never heard anyone having a problem. People have been converting them to many different calibers for years...

[@oneofmanyte3321]

Love my 1895 Chilean Mauser

[@archeryfisher]

I just recently grabbed a 1895 chilean mauser. It seems to be restored but I am not sure. Maybe you could check it out?

[@brandonrenner9597]

Is there difference in round bolt face an flat bottom bolt face on these

[@lmyrski8385]

Is the T-shirt misspelled? "Vertroue in God en die Mauser"

[@tberkoff]

I thought the Austrians used the Steyr M1912 rifle. My 1912 rifle was made by Steyr in Austria.

[@FreedomTimes4130]

Just got an original 1895 mauser bolt action. Can't wait to shoot it. It's the shorter one

There is a 1935 at my local shop all matching nice gun but it’s $1,350 firm on consignment. Maybe I’ll get it when I’m finished with WWII

[@hquiller]

Very good video. Trying to learn about Southamerican mausers. What do you think it's the best rifle conversion? Chilean 1895 7.62 NATO? Chilean 1912 7.62? Colombian 30-06? Brazilian 30-06? Don't know if there are any other conversions...

[@MilsurpWorld]

Best conversion is probably the Peruvian 1935 to 30-06

[@hquiller]

@@MilsurpWorld Thanks! I'll watch the video you made. Also... What do you know about Haitian mausers in 30-06? I bought one a few days ago, and haven't found much info about them.

[@johnlopez2877]

Can the 1912 be blues also? I have 2 Chilean Mausers in mint condition. Both are long rifles with straight bold handles. The 95 from Loewe. The 12 blued receiver is Modelo 1912 crest with the STEYR ASTRIA on the side. I collect Mausers, and never shot the Chileans. I'm getting old and downsizing . What can I expect for a price?

[@spanky174]

I read somewhere that Chilies Was worried that the white chambers would make them shinny/ more visible and started having them blued.

[@ChodaStanks]

My Chilean Mauser gets the least respect out of my antique collection but its great to see a detailed video about it to shed some light on it

[@frankf7858]

Very interesting history. I bought back a old pistol from Chile in the early 80's. It has some old history that I would love to learn about. Has some punched artwork that someone did long ago. Any suggestions on where I can find any info, send some pics to someone? I think its French but really? Love this clip and want one of those bad.
