    Lots of people use Mausers here in Argentina to hunt with either surplus ammo, Norma or reloads. Those cavalry models are not cheap and pretty hard to find

    My first deer rifle was a Cavalry Carbine. I paid $75.00 for it at a feed and seed store in my home town and tracked down some JSP ammo for it at hardware store elsewhere in town. "The Little Mule" as it is/was also known in some circles (and still is today) was very accurate and served my purposes from the mid 1960s to about 1971 when I traded it for a new Winchester '94 in .30-30 not because I liked the .30-30 more than the Mauser's chambering but because it became almost impossible in those pre internet days to find hunting ammo for it. I especially enjoyed this video because of the fond memories I have maintained for that fine little carbine! Keep up the great work you do!

    Guys, thou art awesometh . That thing was handled by conscripts for forty nine years ('58 is when Argentina adopted the F.A.L.) and even longer than that, federal police was still using them into the seventies, and is possible to think those kids weren't always careful with them rifles. 1400 meters was for plunging fire, like trench to trench or charging cavalry, it wasn't wishful thinking, but a military doctrine adopted by many militaries around the world. Love the sabre, the infantry rifle came along with an impressive bayonet to. Guys keep those milsurp videos coming. Love to see a review of the carb and the full size one side by side. Again, you Georgia boys are A.W.E.S.O.M.E

    If you think the Cavalry carabine mod 1909 kicks, you have to test the 1891 model. She has a shorter barrel, 18 inch, it shoots magnificently but she was nicknamed the "mulita" or little mule. Was my first ever big bore rifle which I sold some years ago. I had mount a Mauser peep sight and was obtaining 1,5 in groups at 150 meters. I was training in those times (1980s ) and we had good ammo. The problem with our service rifles was obtaining consistent ammo. I just bough anothe mulita a couple of months ago, just for the sake of having sux a sexy weapon. The caliber can be compared with the 30.06 favourably. We have resorted to reloading nowadays feeling grateful that America is selling .312 and .311 bullets for the British .303
    Magnificent job. I was delighted to see you firing one of ours guns!!!

    Many years ago. (1972) while home on medical leave I found a few small country stores that were going out of business. Back then if you had a milsurp we were limited to NORMA ammo for 7.65, 6.5 Italian or Swede, 7.5 Swiss, 303 British or 7.62 x 53R. All loaded with soft points for hunting. Having a couple of years of back pay, I bought every box of Norma ammo I could find. A long with a few mil-surps and a few Win M-70's NIB.

    I love the 1916 Calvary carbine I have from Argentina. It's in 7X57 and the gun just brings it sadly I have to RE-barrel. But none the less a cool piece of history that I was immediately attracted to and knew what it was before I knew what it was.

    • @ruge48
      @ruge48 2 роки тому

      Sorry to contradict you, James, but 7x57 NEVER was used by our (Argentine) Armed Services. Ours is the 7,65x53 which is magnificent caliber, even Winchester built their Mod 70 in our caliber Unluckily it was not vey popular. Belgium did use it, so did Iran, Peru and Bolivia and some other South American Countries.
      7x57 I believe was used by Chile, they had very good Steyr Mausers

    These and the Engineer's carbines were really closer to short rifles vs carbines especially when you compare the 1891 carbine with the 1909 carbine.. Calling these 1909 carbines "stumpy" is kind of silly. Got to love the Argentine 1891/1909 battle rifles and carbines. Kind of a late response from me. Better late than never 😀 The scrubbed receivers were more likely with the 18991 battle rifles and occasionally an 1891 carbine.. It is rare to find a 1909 battle rifle or carbine without a crest unless they were a Peruvian variant. Speaking of the variations around countries with Mausers, this 1909 Cavalry carbine had a ton of variations within it's model unlike any of the other Argentine rifles. For sure very collectible. The Ejercito's are my favorites.

  • @georgelong4888
    @georgelong4888 7 років тому +1

    The theory is sound. As the barrel heats it expands. Touching almost anywhere differently the barrel can be sprung up, down, left, right or a combination there of. Indeed the barrel also gets longer and Mauser cut stock reliefs in the rifles with stepped barrels to counter this issue.

    It's a shame that you can only get 7.65mm Mauser ammo from one manufacturer. FM Beltran in Argentina used to manufacture the cartridge, mostly because there're a lot of Argie Mauser in civilian hands in-country. I dunno if they ever exported ammunition to US. I do know that the old weapons plant in Rosario (FM FMAP or FM Domingo Matheu) used to export semiauto only metric-pattern FAL rifle to US, either fully assembled rifles, or just receivers (they were even ATF aproved), misc parts. Fun trivia: argentine gun enthusiasts nickname the argentine Mauser carbines (either 1891 and 1909) Mauser Mulita, that is literally "Little-mule Mauser", because, in comparison with the fullsize infantry rifle, it kicks like a mule, probably not as much as, let's say, a M44 Mosin-Nagant.

    Hello, what are the main differences in the 1891 carbine and the 1909 carbine? I have a 1891 cavalry carbine that is missing several parts including the top wood hand guard. The 1909 model seems to have a hand guard with a cut-out for the rear sight, while the 1891 seems to not have that same style of for-grip/hand guard. I want to get the right parts. Thank you anyone for any help you can provide.

I may have to try to find me one of these little carbines! Speaking of carbines, I wanna see you guys do this very video with a Spanish fr8, my dad had one back in the day and I never got a chance to see what it was capable of. Always loved the look and handiness of that .308 carbine and it had a little recoil to it as well. Would be a neat comparison to this rifle, at least full power carbine wise

    I really like your guy's show keep it up. And wanted to say thanks on the knowledge you guy's have taught me over the years of watching the show. P.s. you guy's should come to Idaho and make a video we have a lot of open range to shoot some insane distances especially with a 338 lapua or 50.

    Seems that ammo is crap. Down here, we used empty 06 brass and run it through a 7.65 sizing die and trim for length. Used .311 bullets for the Lee Enfield and you had a tack driver. Norma used to make great ammo in this caliber.

      Paul Banks it was what the Germans did in World War One to try to pierce the armour of the British tanks and it showed so effective ness with the early tanks but became less effective later on in the war when Britain thickened the armour of their tanks.

      It’s when you take the bullet out and put a bit more powered in the shell and but the bullet in backwards Paul Banks
