We are still working on getting the Martini Henry to shoot well out to 600. A pipe dream possibly, but a fun journey none the less. Definitely volley fire distance.
Came across an 1891 Argentine Mauser at my local gun shop the other day, but didn't know anything about them. Figured I would search RUclips and see if you had a video on them, and sure enough, there it was. So, went back and picked it up for a whopping $150 out the door. The stock has been cut down, but the barrel is still 28". Took it straight out to put a few rounds through it today, and she shoots true and strong. Wouldn't have made the purchase if I hadn't seen your video! Keep 'em coming!
I really appreciate you guys (chad-eric) sharing your love and knowledge of the 1891. I inherited a mauser 1891 years ago and not knowing anything about it I locked it up in my safe and there it sat. After I mentioned it one afternoon at a BBQ i was suddenly hounded to sell it. I turned down the $400 cash offer and found you guys on RUclips. Thank you very much for the education I now have a new found respect for the rifle. I can't wait to go " jammin " with the Argentine Mauser 1891. And Thank you to all veterans. 👍.
Eric, bought an 1891 at a Gun Show 5 years ago, no Import Stamps, 1900 year of manufacture. $250! Numbers matching excellent bore condition have not shot it, disassembled, cleaned and lubricated it. Beautiful rifle.
Have several of these and can definitively state that they are the most accurate, most beautiful, and BEST craftsmanship of any rifle made by man to this day. Incredible rife. Incredible shot. So sweet in ones hands. Nothing even comes close.
Loving the 600 yard series. You should take the Swedish Mauser out for a spin 😉. I finally got my hands on one of these and I have to say, I think it might be in even better shape than the one you guys have. Took it to the range and out shot my K-31. Might just be my favorite Milsurp at the moment. Thank you guys, for turning me on to this rifle.
I've owned and shot several 1891 and 1909 Argentine Mausers over the past 45 years. They all proved to be highly accurate in the "as issued" configuration. At least two Gun Writers claimed "This is the most accurate (Hunting) rifle I own!" I have a Sporterized '91 that has put 4 shots in a ragged hole at 100 yards on several occasions, but I always get one "Flier" that opens the group up to around 1" at 100 yards. This rifle has a 4X scope mounted, therefore, I can't use it for "Military Rifle Competition". I've always shot handloads (Neck Sized Only) with the Hornady .312 Diameter 174 grain RN. I still have some of the Speer 175 grain .313 Diameter RN bullets, that were discontinued many years ago, and I use these for hunting. There is no difference in the groups fired with the .312's verses the.313's.and I can usually keep five rounds in a 1" to 1.25" group at 100 yards, off a bench rest if I do my part, even though the bore on this rifle has seen better days! This may not be "Accurate" by todays standards but it is sufficiently accurate for hunting in Minnesota.Regards,Gungineer
Kenny Smoot that’s what I’m saying. I’d love to see some long range stuff with the cannon. I’d also love to see a downrange view so we can watch the projectile go downrange.
Your videos have inspired me to get my M1891, as well as some of my other old milsurp bolt action rifles out to the range and try my hand at some long range shooting. I'll combine it with my passion for working up the most accurate handload for every rifle and see what I can do at extended ranges.
Great video. I’ve been waiting for this one. Good job guys. 600 yds is no joke. You guys did great. I have a cavalry carbine version of this rifle and love it. The bolt is like glass. Love shooting it.
My one and only milsurp so far is an 1891 Argentine Loew and Loew manufacture. I picked up last winter at a gun show for $180. Unfortunately, it’s been sporterized in that the hand guard has been cut short. Replacements are near unobtainium. I love her, but I might replace her if another L&L 1891 comes along with an unmolested stock.
William Clark Your rifle is worth upwards of 500 bucks now. Maybe more. Good return on your investment. I own the same rifle but didn’t get the great deal you got. I bought mine about 4 years ago.
Things to notice that left me in awe: - The force with which those projectiles hit at 600 yards. 29" bbl, right? Like the '98 and '09? +Prvi Partizan. I hear Norma began to make 7,65 Arg again. Well to be honest, even got a couple boxes recently haha! - The fact that despite aiming that far, the muzzle was always pointing down (take the parallel handrail on the shooter's left as reference). - The fact that they hit at all using irons!! And hit many times with constantly changing wind angles! I'm definitely slapping a LER scope on my 1909, on one of those rails that require no permanent modification. Thanks for the video guys, great job! May you have a nice day.
Jim Creamer Great rifle. My dad bought one about 1960 for $12.50 I remember him going through the whole gun and cleaning and reworking it. He was so proud of it. All serial numbers matched. It just was such a nice old rifle that looked brand new when he was done. I still have it and will never get rid of it. Haven't shot it in 40 years. Maybe it's time to change that.
Great gun guys I have a 1909 Argentine Mauser and blonde Walnut stock done in true oil santa Barbara 3star barrel 24inchs Target trigger bolt turned down no discoloration on the nickel action Bushnell 3bye 9 scope love your channel long time subscriber
My ole man has a similar variant, but its a carbine...it was grandpa's, unfortunately it's, I'm not sure if sporterized is the right term, missing a part of the stock at the front of the barrel. I've wanted to get it refurbished and cleaned up. I haven't shot it since I was a kid. Really cool video, brought back memories.
Eric my 1891 Argie is a carbon copy of yours. It shoots similarly as well, using PRVI 174grn FMJ I had to set sights to 400 to hit dead on at 535 yards. I had a discussion at gunboards about this issue (shooting high at all ranges) and the PRVI is definitely loaded hotter than the milspec ammo, which ranged from 154 grains to 182 grains. Nobody could seem to give me a definite answer on that one. The later being loaded to around 2500fps. The PRVI Chronos over 2700fps. Stout...
Yes they really should, I have a original 1893 in 7mm. I had a 1916 in 762 but sold it due to safety concerns. The gun was near perfect but I just didn’t want to risk.
Did you believe all the B.S. about it being made for the CETME round? Do a quick google search and you'll find a original military manual for the rifles saying it was made specifically for 7.62 NATO, which is (despite incorrect popular opinion) basically the same pressure as .308. CUP vs PSI is the big mistake people make. And if you look deeply into the subject, you'll find that people have tested old 7mm surplus ammo and found it to be just as hot as a lot of 7.62 NATO. So, I find the fear unwarranted as long as you check the headspace often and don't push it. I shoot mild reloads in mine just like all my milsurps, but they are a lot stronger than people make them out to be.
I did not believe the “cetme” rumors, I was still unsure about a steady diet of modern 762 through a 100+ year old gun with only 2 locking lugs. I already own the same gun in 7mm and decided to just stick with it.
By the time the 1916s came around, the CIP had been established and all rifles made in Europe had to pass, I believe it was, a 125% over max pressure test. Mild and medium 308/7.62 is fine, though I prefer the 7mm myself.
Holy crap. How the heck was I glued to a video of miss after miss miss.. Oh wait.. Ding! Hit! Miss... Miss.... Miss.. Miss... Miss. Mesmerized still. Will tune in for more. What is wrong with me:)
I have one of these that has a custom left handed stock, custom barrel, and a modified action. Wish ammo was easier to get cause it's one heck of a sporter.
Great video. I have a 98k that shoots great...I can only imagine how much more accurately the longer barreled models shoot at much longer ranges with modern ammo.
Thing to remember about these old military bolt guns is they're generally 3-4 MOA on a good day. So your group at that distance is going to be about the size of that plate, sans wind.
I have an 1892 Turkish mauser. it was the first and only surplus gun i have ever bought. it was coated in cosmoline, after putting 100,200 rounds down range the stock cracked. did my stock crack because of the cosmoline in the stock?. the stock looked in good condition before taking it to the range. I did clean the gun before putting rounds through it.
I've got one of the Calvary carbines but it's so shot-out there's basically no rifling left. I've tried every type of jacketed bullet and cast bullet design out there, even a fat .314 NOE design and can't get it to shoot. Only thing left to try is paper patching. Looks like there's enough rifling left to get it to shoot SOME kind of group, but we will see....
By looking at the shadow of the target, would the spin of the earth affect the accuracy at 600yds??? Not sure what the muzzle velocity is for than cartridge. Ive seen where 800yds shooting east and west change with the earths spin.
Question? Which do you start high or low sight? I notice some people always use begin high. My father taught me, he said always begin low until see hit the. Know. As wind, etc then so change to different shift low to high. Good o e
A 7.65 mauser was the first rifle found in the Texas school book depository after jfk was assassinated. Listen to the assassination and see if the echoes sound similar. That rifle has a lot of echo.
people that dont shoot just cant realize how much skill that requires. Wind can move the bullet 2 feet at 600 easy or more. the trigger can cause a 3 to 4 foot jerk. Iron sites who knows.
Try it with a M4 iron sights you would get the same results good video I have this rifle for deer it's a perfect round 50 to 180 yards dead on drops deer and does a lot of damage so shot placement is important don't want to destroy the meat cause that round does a lot of damage great video I appreciate it keep them coming God and Country
Is that how you use the sliding rear sight on rifles that have them? I thought you laid it flat and the slider gradually increased the height of the rear sight?
7mm Mauser has killed every variety of land animal and has great ballistics and low recoil. 8mm Mauser is far more available and is typically chambered in stronger M98 large ring actions. If you reload or want to, get the 7mm. 7mm component bullets are easier to find than 8mm and it uses less powder. If you don't want to reload, buy an 8mm.
I got an 8mm Turk mauser (g98 looking, Czech made) not sure exactly what its called because all sorts of models came up without images. Would like too see how it does at 500 yds.
Impressive gentlemen. Thanks. I do hope you put together a match load and video. What is your opinion of using 06 brass and trimming it to 53mm after running it through Argentine resizing die.?
Mission accomplished! Y'all aught to do a live video shoot one day if it's possible. That would be fun, and we'll see how y'all shoot under pressure :D Great video as always fellas
I noticed that every time both of you moved your left hand, the miss got worse. I was also following the 2x4 image that shows up behind the rifle before firing, changed a lot. I'm guessing the rifle to bullet clearance as it passes through may be opening up too much (aka too many rounds) but what do you expect for 100 plus years.
Hey Eric. I've watch ur "how far a shotgun can kill" video numerous of times. Could you please revisit the how far a shotgun can be affective video, but only using a verity of slugs, barrels and sights? Like you said you would. Just proof to a bunch of my friends that a slug can reach out. And with the proper set up, can be accurate and affective. And having a professional do it would be proof. Thanks Eric.
The 600 yds series is a great way to compare these rifles. They were made for this kind of stuff. Nice work!
We are still working on getting the Martini Henry to shoot well out to 600. A pipe dream possibly, but a fun journey none the less. Definitely volley fire distance.
Hopefully a Chapter Two is in the making then!... looking forward to it!
Great channels, both of you.
Iraqveteran8888 you can see where shots lands accurately thanks to the beam in alignment to the barrel
@@Iraqveteran8888 Hello I have a question can the 1891 Argentine mauser be rechambered for the 7.92×57 cartridge?

I'm a simple man. I see IraqVeteran8888 shooting guns, I click like.
hey Eric, i bought the 1891 carbine at a pawnshop for $130, its in excellent condition. its my favorite hog gun.
I'm a huge fan of these 600 yard milsurp videos. PLEASE keep them coming. If you could do this with a Ross Rifle, that would be AWESOME
Xavier Israel, hell yes! I agree.
Loving the 600 yard series. You should take the Swedish Mauser out for a spin 😉.

Do a Carcano Video
Had one of these bout 30 yrs ago & really liked shooting it....from a bench.(a long, heavy rifle for sure)Awesome job Eric, best to you fellas, MIKE.
you guys could make an hour video of shooting a gun from the bench and I'd watch the whole thing, keep these videos coming!

Aside from the anticipation of the shot i really love hearing the downrange sounds of the bullets flying by. These videos are awesome.
At that distance even the misses are impressive... great shooting guys...
Try the Cannon at 600 yards.
Kenny Smoot that’s what I’m saying. I’d love to see some long range stuff with the cannon. I’d also love to see a downrange view so we can watch the projectile go downrange.
Hell yes!
Or at even longer ranges.

Christopher Clark I inherited one from my uncle with a unmolested stock it’s quite heavy like a true and proper man licker
I used an 1891 for many years as my chuck gun. Of course I did replace the front sight with a bead and rounded the rear notch.
I have a 1891 Argentine carbine bought for $75 in 1973 with clips die and Norma brass. Love the rifle 🇺🇸

I used a 91 Argentine in 7.65 on a big bull caribou at about 378 yards. I loved that rifle.
The quality of your videos have gone up. Keep up the hard work!
Iron sights at 600 yards , you are doing great , most people need a scope for that yardage
I really like the long range shooting videos. Just simple editing like I’m hanging at the range. Definitely keep making them!
Holy crap. How the heck was I glued to a video of miss after miss miss.. Oh wait.. Ding! Hit! Miss... Miss.... Miss.. Miss... Miss. Mesmerized still. Will tune in for more. What is wrong with me:)

Check out when chad starts shooting around 15 minutes or so. That bird is just there chilling right on the pole! Bullets and death don't scare it...
It ain't chilling. It's taunting. "Hit me! I dare you!"
I have an 1892 Turkish mauser. it was the first and only surplus gun i have ever bought. it was coated in cosmoline, after putting 100,200 rounds down range the stock cracked. did my stock crack because of the cosmoline in the stock?. the stock looked in good condition before taking it to the range. I did clean the gun before putting rounds through it.
Love watching the bird just chilling while Chad hits the gong.
the bird sitting of the top bar not giving a shit
I always get excited when it's a 600 yard range video! Good job guys. She is a sweety
The barley corn front sight gives me fites on these rifles. I carry a bike lighter to blacken my sights. Enjoyed video! Thanx!--Ted Pfi
This was my first gun. I got it for Christmas when I was 17. Never shot it at this range. Not bad for a 120 something year old gun.😎
The 1891 is a pure work of art especially for its time. The only draw back it's oversized anemic cartridge, but it was sure a tack driver.
anemic cartridge? how do you figure. :/
Anemic my ass! The velocity from that round will blow the stomach out the other side of any deer!
Thanks for the great vids brother
I love these videos, just plain fun to watch
i have the cabine model and it's great! everybody that has shot, it fell in love with it.
Long range shooting with ironsighted vintage rifles...nobody does that. Good video, really shows the challenges of doing it.
That is some real shooting with Open Sights ... Y'all Go !
Thanks for the Video ...
I enjoy military rifles. I don't have a long range rifle range available to me. Your videos are the next best thing. I envy you.
Loved the video as much as I love my 1891s, long rifle and engineers carbine!
Love this! I have a Argy that needs to get worked like this, inspiring!
Excellent!!! "We'll just move the plate" Too funny!!!!
I've always enjoyed my 1891 I think they are just so cool and different from all the ar's I see all day long
Hey enjoy watching the long range shots may be a good idea to tie a piece of surveyors ribbon at your gong to help with wind direction.
Could you imagine how many modern rifles cant touch this degree of consistent accuracy.
I've got one of the Calvary carbines but it's so shot-out there's basically no rifling left. I've tried every type of jacketed bullet and cast bullet design out there, even a fat .314 NOE design and can't get it to shoot. Only thing left to try is paper patching.

A 7.65 mauser was the first rifle found in the Texas school book depository after jfk was assassinated.
Listen to the assassination and see if the echoes sound similar.
That rifle has a lot of echo.
Love the antique guns without the help of optics...it truly is a challenge.
Greaaat video and rifle!!! Greetings from Argentina
people that dont shoot just cant realize how much skill that requires. Wind can move the bullet 2 feet at 600 easy or more. the trigger can cause a 3 to 4 foot jerk. Iron sites who knows.
Cool vid, lmao those birds flying off when that bullet smacked the gong. Enjoyed watching. Also nice rifle as well.
Hahaha, "maybe we'll find were the shot lands and move the plate there"
the bolt handle sounds awesome
What surplus rifle are good for hunting?? Like for ex is the mosin, Lee Enfield or the Swiss k31 any good for hunting?
Try it with a M4 iron sights you would get the same results good video I have this rifle for deer it's a perfect round 50 to 180 yards dead on drops deer and does a lot of damage so shot placement is important don't want to destroy the meat cause that round does a lot of damage great video I appreciate it keep them coming God and Country
Love these videos at 600 yards! Keep em comin!
Is that how you use the sliding rear sight on rifles that have them? I thought you laid it flat and the slider gradually increased the height of the rear sight?
most of the older mauser sights stand up like that.
Thanks! I was stumped and thought maybe I was using them wrong on my stuff lol.
I got one of them. I put an old Weaver T-10 scope on it (just to couple two grannys together). I love it. Shot several hogs with it.
Can you guys check out the EAA windicator on the 357 Magnum on the two and a half inch or Floyd it's a revolver
Yor Mauser it is in very nice condition... Greetings from Buenos Aires
Find out where the shot lands, then move the plate up there - I lol'ed ^^
When it comes to Ballistics and power of the Mauser vs. 7.62x54r. Which do you like better?
Talks Jimmy Hendrix IMMEADIATLY gets all of Jimmys songs in head
If you could only choose one mauser round in terms of shootability/ballistics etc..would you choose 8mm? 7x57? Or 7.65x53?
6.5 Swedish is great for longer ranges
7mm Mauser has killed every variety of land animal and has great ballistics and low recoil.
8mm Mauser is far more available and is typically chambered in stronger M98 large ring actions.
If you reload or want to, get the 7mm. 7mm component bullets are easier to find than 8mm and it uses less powder. If you don't want to reload, buy an 8mm.
The sights on this rifle are they supposed to be used flipped up of flat?
Doesn't heat in the barrel from multiple back-to-back shots affect accuracy?
I like how they are secretly having a competition
Always wondered about these older mausers what’s with that little toe on the bottom of the Magazine? Does it do anything?
I got an 8mm Turk mauser (g98 looking, Czech made) not sure exactly what its called because all sorts of models came up without images. Would like too see how it does at 500 yds.
Let's give it up for the bird! That is the most hardcore bird I've ever seen, was sitting there taking fire for almost 5 minutes!!!
Great channel my friend, every time you shoot at that gong, for a second I think it's a toilet seat. Thanks for the video.
I got an 1891 w series sporter and I was wondering if its worth making better
7.65x53 is probably the oddest round I've ever heard of.... Looks like it's got damn fine ballistics out if that old rifle though.
DaddyO's Ink it's a 7.92 X57mm I believe
Beautiful rifle, thank you for sharing.
Another cool stuff from my US friends. Marine Corps Ball today in Warsaw Marriott Hotel. Poland.....You know...I hope.....
I would love to see you guys make some hand loads for the 1891.
Chad is the goofiest person ever 😂 the perfect image of a dad
that's a long way with irons for sure
Impressive gentlemen. Thanks. I do hope you put together a match load and video. What is your opinion of using 06 brass and trimming it to 53mm after running it through Argentine resizing die.?
The rcbs trim and form die is the best way to go.
Mission accomplished! Y'all aught to do a live video shoot one day if it's possible. That would be fun, and we'll see how y'all shoot under pressure :D Great video as always fellas
I noticed that every time both of you moved your left hand, the miss got worse. I was also following the 2x4 image that shows up behind the rifle before firing, changed a lot. I'm guessing the rifle to bullet clearance as it passes through may be opening up too much (aka too many rounds) but what do you expect for 100 plus years.
Hey Eric. I've watch ur "how far a shotgun can kill" video numerous of times. Could you please revisit the how far a shotgun can be affective video, but only using a verity of slugs, barrels and sights? Like you said you would. Just proof to a bunch of my friends that a slug can reach out. And with the proper set up, can be accurate and affective. And having a professional do it would be proof. Thanks Eric.
