The Mauser Model 1895 is a bolt operated magazine fed rifle using the 7x57mm Mauser cartridge. It was exported to many overseas powers, including the Chilean forces which adopted as the Fusil Mauser Chileno Modelo 1895.[2] It is the first major modification of the Mauser Model 1893 and was produced by Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken, known as DWM, and Ludwig Loewe Company from 1895 to 1900.[3] The previous owner was a machinist. The rear sight has been altered. The bolt has also been altered for easier action work. This rifle has been converted to 7.62 NATO
