I have one of these Mausers, I used to tell my friends it felt like it shot laser beams because of how accurate it is. It's insane to think this was the first mag fed rifle to use smokeless powder cartridges. How they were able to pull off such tight tolerances on a mass produced military rifle over 100 years ago is truly impressive. And yes, this thing is a joy to shoot, ammo is just scarce and expensive.
My Grandpa bought the one I now have about 1960, it is in excellent condition, but he replaced the rear sight with a Lyman peep sight mounted on the end of the receiver to improve his accuracy as he was in his 60's. Love shooting this gun, but it recoils harder than the 1909 Argentine short rifle that I also have. The craftmanship of both rifles is so much better than later Mauser's like my 1912 Venezuelan one. It is easy to form 7.65x53 brass from 30-06 brass. Just trim about 3/4 of the neck off the 30-06 case and run them through a 7.65x53 sizer die without the neck expander in and then do a final trim for length or you can buy a trim die from Graf's. If you load for the 1891, cut back your powder about 2 grs. because of the older style action.@@xMrPaintxx
Wow ,, I really enjoyed this video. My uncle, who was an avid gun collector, passed this 1891 on to me. I've Owned it for 25 years, kept it in a case up in my bedroom closet. I shot it only a few times when I first got it. My uncle apparently didn't like the fact that ammo was scarce for this rifle so he had it re-barreled to 308W. ( not sure that was the reason ) 308W is clearly marked on the top of the barrel near the sight. My version has several different serial numbers though. B4779 at the bolt, C6169 on the removable clip, another one on the wood stock. Mine doesn't have the elevation flip up rear sight. Your videos have caused me to gain interest again in this "old girl" Thanks so much and I look forward to seeing it shoot 1000 yards. Ted in Sebastian, Fl.
Unexpected SPANISH INQUISITION shoot at smaller targets that always helps me when I'm having an off day. Start with apples at 100yards and work down to dumdum suckers. Then increase distance. I shoot dumdum suckers at 150 and sometimes 200 yards with my savage 17hmr all the time it's tons of fun and a great way to dial in your accuracy
I have an Argentino 1891 Modelo Mauser made in Berlin in 1891 and shoots amazing used it for deer season last year and shot a doe at 238 yards and dropped her one of my favorite Mauser that I’ve had
I had an 1891 7.65 when I was a young man. The action was in the white. Ammo was darn near impossible to find, but I did manage a box of Norma which was expensive. I think mine was shorter though.
It looks like there’s a very light gusting breeze from right to left. At that range, small changes in the wind speed between shots could explain the 6” off the plate here and there.
Ive got a 1895 Chillean german mauser that was in the boer wars of south Africa I shoot 7mm mauser with mine. Very nice rifle! Takes up lots of room with the bayonett attatched. Loved your video
has almost the same ballistics as .308 so while you can make 1000yds aimed shots anything longer is meant for volley fire (all rifles lose accuracy once the bullet drops below supersonic speeds because the unpredictability of the burble)
I just built a 1891 Argentine I put in a Boyd’s atone stock with first focal plane vortex scope and a swagger bipod love the gun it was my dads and has been sitting in safe for years finally decided to up grade it. Love the videos guys keep up the good work.
I have my dad's 1891 that was semi-sporterized. He bought it from a hardware store in the late 50s. Neat old gun. Going to try to harvest a deer with it thus season. Norma & Hornady hunting loads. Thanks men.
Awesome video guys. Thank you for what you do for all of us Milsurp/ firearms folks! I was shooting my 1891 Arg. At 800 and had the same issue with those sights. When you go out to 1000 could you throw in a 'how to' segment about getting those sights set to the specific distance one is shooting? That would help me defeat that 800yd nemesis of mine... Thanks guys!

No. Semi-automatic rifles existed in the 19th century, as did lever- and pump-action rifles, all of which can be fired much faster than a bolt action rifle.
The aesthetics of full wood stock, bolt action military rifles cannot be beaten. They can definitely reach out there with their robust build, stabilizing full stock and long barrels.
How about taking a Lee enfield out to some long ranges y’all ain’t done a lee enfield video in over 5 years I believe love these Milsurp videos you are the reason I got into Milsurps I now have 15 Milsurps and only 2 modern guns lol

Eric I really enjoy your long range shooting with vintage rifles videos. Absolutely fantastic.
My girlfriends grandpa told me stories last night of him qualifying with an 1891 back in the service and then deer hunting with it after he got out. He hasn’t shot it in decades, took the bolt out for storage years ago and has since misplaced the bolt. Hoping I can find him a bolt for it, and some rounds and see if he wants to take it out and shoot it again!
Sorry i just need to correct you @jouba potgieter the SMLE was called the no1 mk3 and the gun used in ww2 was the no4 mk1 and each of them had different systems of operation like the no4 mk1* you remove the bolt differently
James Poitra I had a 2 groove variant of that rifle that someone had “sporterized” and it shot like a champ. I never tried it at that kind of range though.
@@chapinchapin2306 Mine is the Calvary Carbine as well. There is another variant called the "Engineer Carbine" but I don't remember what the difference is.
Dang! You guys have got me jazzed about shooting the Model 1891. I just won a near pristine, low serial number Argentine Mauser Modello 1891 on Gunbroker.com, it's arriving in two days and I think I'm going to take a day off work to get it to the range.
To make this rifle shoot properly you have 2 or 3 issues to think about, you don't have real service ammo, the original was a 220gn rn bullet, because of that the barrel have a large troath, in 1909 the most part of this rifles were "refurbished" for the new Spitzer ammo, so the table of the rear sigth was replaced with another, with the new ballistics. and your rear sigth looks like the older ones. Despite of this, you two made very good shots
Always enjoy watching your videos!! I'll be at Shot Show this year and would love to meet you guys if you'll be there. I'm still small channel on the totem Pole, but I'm climbing up. Thanks for the support!!!!
I've had my Argentine Mauser since before your last video on the rifle and I still haven't fired mine even once, there is a small pit in the barrel towards the muzzle and I'm a little nervous about it
safety wise a small pit isn't anything to worry about as long as everything else about the rifle is right (no shadow rings in the barrel no unusually swelling of the steel and the bolt locks correctly) it can have a slight impact on accuracy if it shaves brass off the bullet jacket but that is doubtful. shoot it only if you feel confident nothing else is wrong with the gun. personally? Id shoot it just to find out what I have (assuming everything else feels right).
I just got one of these beauty's and I love it is the any way to mount a scope without removing the original sights just something simple without to much modifications about 2 or 300 yards for varmints and coyotes
I have one of those with matching numbers and a bayonet. I also have a Peruvian carbine that the same bayonet fits om. Both are 7.65 argentine. I love these guns. I even took the carbine bear hunting. Didn't get one, but I sure scared it after shooting the log it was standing on. I like that privi partisan ammo.
It's been 2 years since Eric and Chad took the 1891 mauser out to 750 yards I am looking forward to the video were they use 1891 mauser to try to hit targets at 1000 yards I am really looking forward to seeing what this old rifle is really capable of with iron sights!
I love your channel and the way you guys have things set up I’ve learned a lot, in time I hope to have my own channel and only hope that it could be half as good as yours,, PS Keep up the good work 👍
Back when a shooter was really able to shoot these ol rifles were quite able to reach out and hit what was in sight Handloading building the right combo will show you the real capabilities of old world craftsmanship My old 303 British wouldn't shoot a group till I got cast bullets sized to the bore after that it was good for a 3 inch group at 250 yards that was the best my eyes could do !! The load was a mild easy to enjoy shooting the surplus ammo wasn't worth the pain of pulling the trigger for accuracy the steel buttplate made sure you were bruised
Great video. The old privy partisan has taken a bit of a dive since I first bought some 5 or 6 years ago and doesn't give rest groups in my 308 had a few duds in a few boxes too. Enough to not use it for hunting put it that way. I'm sure this old rifle will shine if you get the load right. Makes me want to get into these old rifles
I just got this rifle as a gift from my brother. This video has got me so excited to get out and see how she fires. I doubt I’ll try 1000yards though. 😂😂😂
Great video as always men! I would love to see some content on the 8mm mauser and/or the M48 mauser! I think they are a hidden gem in many people's collections!
REALLY? "A lot harder than it looks" !!?? Your gettin kill shots at 750 iron sights. Please. You are a great shooter. The young pups, I talk to at work, didn't even understand what I meant by "iron sights".
I have had the opportunity to won one of them riffles I was 16 when I bought it I had to give my Dad because at that time I was to young to buy a firearm But any I have never shot a gun that shot with such precision and accuracy as the 1891 7.65 Argentine I have shot over a 1000 yards with it
I have that rifle and it is great rifle I never shot past 200 yards it's like you can't miss it is so much fun to shoot I wish I could shoot it more than I do but the ammo is so hard to get here
I would like to see all those old milsurp rifles you have shot to the maximum distance all the sights cab be set for. Do some serious volley fire would be interesting to see what they do wayyy out there.
They make safety glasses in reader style rather inexpensive for the regular ones [8 bucks but bifocals run 50 ] .I got a pair of 1.50 diopter , made quite a difference sighting in on the irons. Amazon is the place to look for them.
The fact that Eric can even be close at 750 is astounding
Not really amazing. It was when the finished machine and best measures ever put into a rifle and the smoothest action of you could ever ask for
I have one of these Mausers, I used to tell my friends it felt like it shot laser beams because of how accurate it is. It's insane to think this was the first mag fed rifle to use smokeless powder cartridges.

Good morning from Montana where we got a light dusting of snow last night. I have an 1909 arg. That is now chambered in 25-06. It’s a shooter!!
I'm in prague out of Great Falls and it's about 60 here with no snow
Bruh my Dad brought back a 1909 Argentine bayonet from Panama, but I can’t find a rifle to go with it.
I love the 25.06, use it for hunting. My rifle is a Savage Arms 25-06, it shoots good, but I don't lol. I really need to practice a lot more.
James Poitra, hunting opens in just a few weeks and the snow is welcome. Hope it sticks around for the rest of winter.

In between breaths is best

Amazing
Try a 30-30 out to 750 yards, with irons only. Now that would be fun.
They dropped like a rock after about 300 yards but if you compensate you can really reach out with this gun.

Great video...Definitely an under-appreciated rifle!
Great shooting guys.
I'd be very tempted to make a scope mount for this rifle. a good scope on this thing would help tremendously.
It went thru the strap at 3:40
Take your time, breathe, then squeeze
I have that rifle and it is great rifle I never shot past 200 yards it's like you can't miss it is so much fun to shoot I wish I could shoot it more than I do but the ammo is so hard to get here
I would like to see all those old milsurp rifles you have shot to the maximum distance all the sights cab be set for. Do some serious volley fire would be interesting to see what they do wayyy out there.
The sights on my BAR are labled to 1600 yards. My eyes aren't near good enough for shooting plates at that distance!
