Thank you for this video, Mishaco! I have a 1909 carbine from my grandfathers collection. I only met him once but he had a huge collection of firearms, ammo, and gun magazines.This was the only rifle I received from his collection. Not sure if my grandmother sold the rest or still has them. I struggled to find quality information on the gun. So once again thanks for the video!
Now, Misha, you need an Argentine Model 1909 carbine. I picked one up last week. It's all original, matching #'s in VGC with a pristine bore. Surprisingly, the recoils isn't bad at all for such a short rifle and .30 caliber round. Keep dem bolt action milsurp vids a comin', please.
Totally agre, its a matter of finding one though. When you can't see the pictures, buying something used/surplus online is pretty risky and difficult. None of my local friends or shops have had a 1909 carbine come in either. I've kept an eye out for years now.
@@misha5670 Though not local, the gun shop I frequent, about 20 miles from me, had one come in. I snapped it up real quick. I wasn't looking for an Argentine carbine, didn't even know they existed, but looked so different, so cool, I had to have it. I love milsurp Mausers. Good luck to you my friend in finding one.
I have a 1909 Argentine Mauser 7.65 and my receiver is in the white . I bought it in the 1980's and I have never shot it, I still have the box of shells and bayonet. I am too old now to enjoy.
I have been collecting Mausers since 1967 when I bought an Argentine Cavalry Carbine for $25 and a Czech Bruno Mauser with the enlarged triggerguard for the same price. I also bought an 1891 Russian Mosin long rifle for $12.50. The Argentine and Swedish Mausers are usually in the best condition and the most accurate. My latest acquistion is an 1891 Argentine Rifle that esthetically is in beautiful condition as is the bore. However the magazine is dysfuctional in that the lips are too tight so that they will not allow the 7.65mm cartridges to load into the breech when slid forward by the bolt. I have been working on the triggerguard/magazine assembley since I removed it from the wood stock to try to disassemble it, but to no avail. The machine bolt screw is frozen in place, so I cannot open the bottom magazine plate to find a remedy. This is the only time I have ever received a surplus Mauser that had a defect. It came with a very nice brass handled bayonet and blued steel sheath that like the rifle have matching serial numbers. I fired the rifle at my club range, but only as a single shot rifle since the magazine is faulty. I currently cannot find any PPU 7.65mm ammo or .303 British ammo in the USA. They have not been available for several years.
Not that I am REMOTELY qualified to work on guns but one non-destructive method I've seen to free a bolt is to hit it with a can of air for computers but turned upside down this allows the compressed liquid to come out. Try to cover the other surrounding parts so they stay warmer and hit the screw directly. This will chill it and the contractions may allow a release. Just a thought.
There is an Argentine carbine in a local gun shop that is in beautiful condition. I was amazed actually. But it had some buttstock work done. It looks like the bottom broke off and a new piece was added. The wood color doesn't match but it was done very well. Anyway, I want it but they are asking $900. Is that ridiculous or is that par for the course these days? They state it is an antique so that means no 4473.
As you probably know, there is a famous story that a Mauser was found in the Texas School Book Depository. The claim is that Mauser 7.65mm was seen stamped on the barrel. Have you ever seen a Mauser with such markings stamped on the barrel? I have seen online 1 example of a Mauser where the crest has been removed from the barrel and replaced with such a marking, but wonder if you have seen others?
I love my 1935 Peruvian Mauser, I love the history behind them and if you’ve ever seen one in person chances are if you have handled them they have deepest darkest shiniest bluing, and typically are in excellent condition
I miss my engineer's carbine and it was complete with the bayonet, but one had to go. Either the cavalry or engineer? I picked the one i liked the most. The cav is just so light and handy, know what I mean?
I own a 1891 sporter made by Lowe. Pretty smooth both and an overall beautiful rifle. I had only a few rust spots since it’s used, but they’re long gone now
thanks for your video, I have a 1891 I got from my uncle who was an avid gun owner. He had it modified to shoot 308. Its been in my cabinet for 25 years. Haven't shot it much at all. would like to sportorise it.....I think.
I know what you mean but I would have to agree more with the people that compare Misha with the painter Bob Ross from PBS. There is just something very soothing and relaxing about listening to him and watching him do his thing while getting a history lesson👍
I was told a german officer who was an observer in south america sent a message to the arsenals in Germany that the soldiers were not taking care of the rifles in south america ,so why bother with putting a beautiful rust blue on the receivers !

How can you identify the rifle as a 7.65 Mauser? Are there any markings on the barrel that say '7.65 Mauser'?

Hi Misha
can you explain the use of the thin bar on left side of the 1891 carbine just forward of the barrel band ?
Love mine been lucky. Managed to get 4 different 91s and 5 different 09s
I love my 1935 Peruvian Mauser, I love the history behind them and if you’ve ever seen one in person chances are if you have handled them they have deepest darkest shiniest bluing, and typically are in excellent condition
Well...not 'seen' in the strictest sense hehe ;p
Nice Misha I Have a Sporterized Argentine Mauser 7x57 Caliber With The Receiver Crest 😊😊😊😎
Can you explain the difference between large and small ring? Good videos
It's a spring holding the band
You press it near the band allowing it to be removed
I have a nice 1891 Argentine rifle with a nice bayonet and a engineer carbine that I need to find a bayonet for. Both are fun to shoot.
I miss my engineer's carbine and it was complete with the bayonet, but one had to go. Either the cavalry or engineer? I picked the one i liked the most. The cav is just so light and handy, know what I mean?
I have one with matching scabbard for sale
@@krandom354 how much do you want for it
@@krandom354 I am interested in it
I have 2 91 carbines. Would love to find info on the Argentine sniper models
Cats Meow....most accurate and incredible quality
They really are. I was so Impressed the first time I shot mine. The 300m battle zero threw me for a loop at first.
@@42pyroboy How off is it at typical ranges with that 300m zero?
Argentina Mausers are well made.i want two !
I like the long rifles. The carbine, frankly, is like a chopped off thing.
Those are neat

Misha reminds me of a gun version of Yoda….so wise and just……god like……

... my 1909 receiver is in the white...
Yep, that was how all of the German built guns were delivered originally.
To think they were all made by real machinists on dial read machine's by hand instead of modern CNC machine's with modern production techniques
A time when machines were very expensive and labor (even skilled) was relatively cheap.
...have a nearly pristine 1909...even the stock is numbered to the receiver...
Had an Argentinian 93 Mauser- donated to NRA museum
A Model 1893?
I live my Chilean modelos 1895 & 1912, in 7mm, and even my 1912/61 in 7.62
I was told a german officer who was an observer in south america sent a message to the arsenals in Germany that the soldiers were not taking care of the rifles in south america ,so why bother with putting a beautiful rust blue on the receivers !
Mermisi nasil bulunur..

Those are like a 308 which " they " copied from Germans probably
