1895 Chilean Mauser - Revisit
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 ноя 2019
- After recently delving into the Arisaka rifles and analyzing their Mauser derived actions I felt it appropriate, especially on Thanksgiving, to revisit a true Mauser design and express to the late Mauser brothers the thanks that is due. The design, the materials, the manufacture.....second to none.
The high quality snap caps, some call them dummy rounds, used in this video are from realisticsnapcaps.com where coupon code milsurpgarage gets you 10% off at checkout and as always, no shipping. Using these for function testing, loading drills, or simply to safely play with your guns is worth their weight in gold. Check them out.....they are a huge supporter of this channel.
I can’t get enough of cycling these realistic looking and acting snap caps through the action over and over marveling at how precise the function is keeping in mind that as it was being made there were no airplanes as we didn’t yet know how to fly. The only way to get around was on horseback as there were no cars. Only sunlight or candles lit the workshop as they were being designed and manufactured as there was no use of electricity yet or light bulbs. Germany was far from the idea of Naziism as Hitler was 5 years old and running around with a wet diaper.
Historic things and events take your imagination to be fully appreciated.....I love going there.
See you next time.
Greeting from the UK. Just found and subbed. I have a Boer War 1895 and learnt a few things here, many thanks!
Thanks for the sub. Glad to have you.
One of my favorite mausers. Milsurp garage kicks ass.
I've got an old Mauser I inherited. Been trying to get an idea of its exact age. It has no stamping other than serial numbers. The rifle was a sporterized 60 years ago and a scope is mounted over the crest stamp if there is one. It's got a bolt set up like the '93 but it has a gas vent port like the 96. I thought that it might be a 95 vintage but seeing yours doesn't have the vent idk now. As old as it is that 7mm still puts a 1" group at 100 yards.
I like this Mauser. Thanks for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving.
AWSOME.....thank you so much
Thanks for watching!
Privi Partisan makes modern 7mm rounds, shoots perfectly in my 95. Non corrosive, and not too powerful so it won’t damage your rifle. You should check it out!
Thanks. God job love the chili an mouser😎🍷
My #1 rifle is one of those. lil' dark at the end, but excellent shooter
Yes....very high quality manufacturing. Thanks for tuning in!
With the C serial number prefix you have what was originally a Boer ZAR contract rifle. Batches A and B made it to the Boer Republic before the 2nd Boer war started but the boat carrying batch C rifles was blockaded by the British. They were sent back to Mauser, stamped with the Chilean crest, and sold to Chile. Check out Forgotten Weapons, ZAR Mausers for the full story.
Interesting history lesson for an interested spectator. It was made in Germany by a Jewish owned firm named Loewe, shipped to Africa for use by the South African Republic in its Boer War with England, blockaded by England and sent back to Germany where they were prepared and sent to Chile.
It falls in the serial number block stated by Nielsen, p70 but NOT as described by Ball p442 in that it is NOT a DWM marked receiver but a Loewe marked receiver. It’s NOT an 1893 but an 1895. It’s closest to variation #2 listed by Ball p442 but not on a DWM receiver. Hmmmmmm. For a true answer an expert is needed here.
The Loewe marked rifles were delivered direct to Chile from 1897 to 1900 according to Ball p74 and I’m assuming some of those were serialized with a C prefix as I have seen B and E series Loewe Chileans before. I own Loewe Chilean E51XX. The C series that were Boer bound rifles were marked DWM Berlin it seems. If I would guess I would say this is an early straight to Chile contract that just happens to have a C prefix......but is NOT one of those DWM marked Boer rifles you are referencing.
Any experts here confirm? Deny?
If you like the Chilean Bayonet, look up the Chilean Corvo Knife - one of the deadliest knives out there
Do you have any info on the marking of my loewe model 1895 chilean short rifle, on the stock it has a police badge with a star in the middle and in the badge it says FAMAE. Thanks
According to the book “History of the Mauser rifle in Chile” by Davis Nielsen…
“Chilean 1895s have also been observed with a stock cartouche comprising a shield with a star at the center and the words "Chile" above and "FAMAE" below. Simply stated, these stocks were in all probability those remanufactured domestically by the Chilean state-controlled arms manufacturer, or FAMAE.”
There is much more info on this and many other variants in this great book. Any interested collector should get it.
Gimme a bowl of that 1895
Packhorse Triumph Commin’ right up
I came across a Chilean in 7.62 Nato today--- I researched that it can be dangerous shooting 7.62-- is there truth to this, that is the only reason I didn't pick it up, other than that it's in beautiful condition
Man i need a mauser let me swing by and take a look XD
If you threw a rock at Gun Broker you would hit one.........
What’s a good place to find one online possibly? Not many military surplus stores near me 😅
Try Empire Arms. He might be the best online source for the Chilean but the buying process there is a bit…different. Great guy and reputable.
Maybe I missed it...do all the numbers match on it? Any import marks? And yep, it's bee-you-tee-ful! Thanks fer sharin'!
Brother, I have an 1895 Chilean Mauser that disassembled and cleaned. The only piece I wasn't able completely take down is the bolt. The cooking piece, as I compress the firing pin/spring turns but does not release. Have you or anyone out there come across this?
Also, how the hell did you get that mirror finish on your parts? Wow!
Not really sure what is going on with your bolt.....are you sure you are using the correct procedure for disassembly?
I just picked one up for $550. It's in great shape, just slightly more wear to the bluing than yours.
Also on mine the receiver number and stock number match. But the numbers on the bolt and safety lever are each different. Are they supposed to match?
They are "supposed" to match but it is very common with milsurp bolt actions for the bolts to be mismatched after arsenal refurb back in it's military life. This is part of its military history and not anything that is necessarily "undesireable" .
(Swiss K31)
Did I say Swedish again instead of Swiss?
Did you paint the rounds in the clip? Thanks for the vid.
No, realisticsnapcaps.com has these listed as their tactical version of the 7mm Mauser round which has the black tip for clear distinction from live rounds. I have cycled them countless times through several different actions and have not seen that tip degrade at all. Check video description for info on how to acquire them.......
Question: how long is the cleaning rod? Is it 2 pcs? On my 1895 I can unscrew 1 section 17” long. Is there another section stuck inside? Don’t want to start banging on it til I understand what’s going on
Correct. It's 17.25 inches in length. I believe several connected together were used between a few guys to clean their barrels.
@@MilsurpGarage thanks for the response. Very helpful
What load/ammo you use on the chilean 1895? I heard you shouldn't use standard load. I'm thinking to get one of these. Great video sir!
I have read that mild 7mm is best. I have some military surplus 7mm that says Chile on the head stamp. I haven’t had a problem with that stuff but who knows? Check your rifle thoroughly. Thanks for tuning in!
@@MilsurpGarage That ammunition is manufactured by FAMAE (Army´s factory and workshops ) , I don't know if that caliber is still exported since the Mauser is only for ceremonial use in Chile In the early 70's he was still in active service in the army and Carabineros.
can these antique mausers use modern factory ammo?
You should use mild 7mm in the Chilean Mauser.
QUE HACE UN FUSIL MAUSER 95-12 DEL EJERCITO DE CHILE EN USA?
BUENA PREGUNTA.
YO LO USE EN EL AÑO 1979- 1981.
.EXCELENTE MAQUINA, BUEN ALCANCE, CERTERO, LETAL.
EN CHILE SE OCUPA EN DESFILES DE LAS ESCUELAS MATRICES DEL EJERCITO. LO PUEDEN VER EN LAS PARADAS MILITARES DE SEPTIEMBRE
19, GLORIAS DEL EJERCITO. CONTESTAME AMIGO.
12000 mauser dados de baja del ejercito en perfecto estado operativo intentaron ser vendidos en el 2007. La venta se detuvo al existir dudas respecto a los compradores estadounidendes por parte del entonces gobierno de Bachelet. Parece que la venta finalmente se realizó
No se cómo sucedió, pero hay muchos Mausers chilenos del model 1895 y del modelo 1912 por todo el mundo, ya he visto más de 3 videos de gringos mostrando o incluso disparando sus mausers chilenos, coleccionistas obviamente. CREO que los más escasos son el modelo 1935, ya que solo se pidieron unas 10 mil unidades porque era para Carabineros, no para el ejército.
@@Vicentemetalero se exportaron muchos, decadas. En USA los podias comprar nuevos en su caja por US$ 200 en los 80s. Una pena que no se hayan vendido a Chilenos certifocados. Chile los vendio a precio de huevo...UNA LASTIMA
Ima just ask.. Was the chilean mauser used in ww1... Just a Quick question
It was certainly around back then. It was actually a classic by the time World War I started.
My World War I history is spotty so I took a look online and found this. Pretty interesting.
www.worldwar1.com/sfla.htm
@@MilsurpGarage ok..thank you
Yes, but not 1895 model. Some Chilean 1912 Mausers were used in WW1, I don't know hoy much of them.
Well. I'm pretty sure I once read that Austria-Hungary ended up getting some of these Chilean 1912s. And they used it as much as they could. Most probably were sent as an emergency to that country instead of Chile because WW1 was just about to begin or was already happening although Austria-Hungary army "standard" rifles were another caliber. I don't believe any of those rifles really survived the conflict, but who knows.
PS: If you're really interested in Mauser rifles and you love their history, try to search for the book at 11:10 on this video. I have hope it talks about those rifles ending up being on WW1.
Sorry if my english was trash, xoxo.
Yes, but in small numbers on both sides.
At the beginning of the War, the UK seized 2 battleships that were about to be delivered to the Chilean navy (the same with a Brazilian battleship) and kept the more than 2,000 Mausers that the ships had and delivered them to coastal defense groups with packages. of "Chilean 7mm" ammunition.
Autro Hungary confiscated part of a package of several thousand of them that were built by Steyr... By far the best rifle that empire had during the war.
But both groups of rifles belonged to the 1912 contract.
Check to see if it has been rechambered. To 7.62 the star of David signifies use as early Israeli defense force
No sir. It’s an original 1895 mark by the Jewish owned company that made it. Different world before the World Wars…….wasn’t it?
A good read is the Wikipedia page for Ludwig Loewe.
@@MilsurpGarage Good response about the Star of David, but indeed the "61 model" is rechambered and berreled for 7.62.. At the end of the 70s, due to possible simultaneously attank from Argentina, Peru and Bolivia, at least 3000 Springfield 1903 berrels were purchased in the USA to replace the originals.
To be honest, I don't want my snap caps to be "realistic"
Nice rifle though, I just picked up one for $350 and that one looks a lot nicer.
I know gun Jesus pronounces it low-vuh. He does his best to get pronunciation correct...
Too much talk and only one view of rifle.
I strive to keep my videos “necessary” in a way that my channels video library as a whole can be educational and relevant.
This Chilean Mauser video is my 6th video featuring this rifle (starting in 2014) which include a detailed overview, a shooting video, and comparison videos to the Swedish, Argentine, and “American” (1903 Springfield) Mauser.
I create content as a series of videos where I imagine my viewers have seen all the past installments like a TV series. I have brought my core viewers through many years of content and reference past videos all the time to bring us along.
My past Chilean Mauser videos have shown tons of views, comparisons, live firing.....this was just a supplement with a revisit featuring a NEW 1895 Chilean in my collection, dummy round cycle, and some talking on some new thoughts.
I urge you to stick with me (if you can stand my voice) and watch some of those older Chilean Mauser videos on my channel for the better looks and, what I thought were, interesting comparisons. They have very detailed views and comprehensive detailed descriptions of the features and are probably just what you are looking for if you are a fan of the 1895 Chilean Mauser. I feel I have the best videos on RUclips featuring this rifle.
Hope this helps and regardless, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
I disagree with your negativity Bennett. This is my favorite channel and his insight and passion is greatly appreciated.
