Just cut and recrown the barrel, install a new front sight, shorten and reshape the stock and you were good to go after deer, bear, elk, whatever. The action was not strong enough for conversion to. Surplus military and factory rounds were both available. No rebarreling was necessary because the 7.65 x 53 cartridge was an excellent hunting cartridge that got the job done. Nonetheless, the 1891 was popular for sporterization because it was an easy conversion. Then, when you see one up close, the level of craftsmanship is really impressive. It blends with the trigger guard and is an identifying feature, not to mention that it holds five rounds of powerful 7.65 ammo. Some folks may not like the long magazine, but I do. They are compact, have good lines, and look handy and effective. I have always liked the looks of sporters based on the Model 1891. Good bolt action sporting rifles were often made by converting surplus military rifles. The long magazine is an identifying feature.
It is a typical military configuration for the time, a long stock with two bands, a ladder sight, and a straight bolt handle. What it looks like is shown in the picture. Model 1891, often called the “7.65 Argentine” because it fired the 7.65 x 53 Mauser cartridge. A few changes were made when Argentina placed a large order for military rifles. The bolt took its cartridges from a single stack, vertical magazine that could be charged from a stripper clip. This Mauser brothers issue has an action that first appeared in the Mauser Model 1889, a landmark in Mauser development because it was the first “small” caliber Mauser for smokeless powder and it introduced a bolt with dual, opposed locking lugs that became standard practice and is still with us today. Time to admire the wildflowers of summer, however, and to wonder how that very tiny, black blossom always gets right in the center of the bloom. So, I had better be making some progress toward the year’s goals. For me the importance of this lovely flower is that its appearance means that springtime is definitely finished and the year is starting to mature. I suppose she liked lace but my brief studies revealed no details on that topic. Anne became Queen of England in 1702 and ruled until her death in 1714. Is accompanied by the ubiquitous flower we know as Queen Anne’s Lace. This post describes a bolt action, sporting rifle based on the Mauser Model 1891, generally known as the Argentine Mauser.
