Product Description
The Argentine Mauser Model 1891 is a bolt-action military rifle designed by Paul Mauser and manufactured for the Argentine military. It was the first repeating rifle adopted by Argentina, introducing the hard-hitting 7.65x53mm Argentine cartridge and a unique single-stack box magazine. Key Features and Design Inline Box Magazine: Features a distinct single-stack magazine that protrudes below the stock, holding five rounds. Chambering: Fires the 7.65x53mm Argentine (also known as 7.65mm Mauser) rimless cartridge. Cocking Mechanism: Utilizes a "cock-on-closing" bolt system, which is different from the later Model 1898 "cock-on-opening" design. Argentine Crest: Originally stamped with an elaborate Argentine coat of arms on the receiver ring, though many were ground off before export.
