Enough said.Īnother astounding development was the bolt-action repeating rifle. The Americans won a costly victory (thanks in part to Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders) and learned an important lesson the hard way, but they learned it well…well enough that they decided to commission a new military rifle and cartridge. The Spaniards illustrated this advantage (along with others) in the battle of San Juan Hill, where a mere 760 soldiers inflicted 5:1 casualties against a force of 15,000 Americans armed with inferior weapons, including single shot blackpowder rifles and the obsolete-as-issued Krag-Jorgensen. Instead of relying on large caliber, heavy projectiles moving at relatively slow speeds, smokeless powder allowed for the first “small bore” cartridges with lighter bullets moving upwards of 2,000 fps. More importantly, though, smokeless powder generated higher pressures, which meant increased velocity, which in turn meant a flatter trajectory and increased effective range. The giant clouds of smoke that enveloped entire regiments and made command and control difficult disappeared, much to the relief of the generals. The invention of smokeless gun powder, and the weapons and cartridges that used it were pivotal. The late 19 th century and early 20 th century was an exciting time in firearms development. I'm pretty sure this is how authorized resellers get their shipments. They were still better than many contemporary designs.Gun shops being bombarded with GLOCKs. That chunky box magazine and the more primative bolt worked just fine. It was a matter of it being a less advanced design than later mausers. It wasn't a matter of it having any problems.

So much so that the British sent boatloads of captured 1891s from the Turkish front to help resuply their Belgian allies on the western front. They still had so many of them that lots of their front-line units were armed with them in WW1. As did the Turks, albeit they stopped buying new ones as soon as the 1893 model came out. Argentina used them until 1909, when they finally started upgrading to a 98 varient. The quality of the 1889/1891 mausers was never an issue. They do lack the claw extractor and staggered box magazine of the m93s, but the 93's are not better quality. In fact they are some of the best finished of all the military weapons. I have never heard a discouraging word about the quality of any m91's

The one on AUCTION ARMS whent for over 1000.When I posted it with less then 24 hours to go it was under 375.It sure jumped past my expectations. As the others have said, $300-500 is not an unreasonable price range for one, depending on condition. That said, I would stick with the lighter loads, as there is no sense in wrecking an old gun.Īs for the OP's question, the 1895 Cavalry Carbines are much less common than regular carbines or long rifles.

And definately none with the original, much lower pressure 7mm Mauser ones. As far as I know though, there have been no catastrophic failures. There has been some evidence that this may cause the action to stretch. The only problem that people run into is when they try to feed the ones that were converted to 7.62 NATO with a steady diet of. The Spanish Mausers of all varieties are no more prone to pressure issues than any other small ring mauser design. I think he is referring to all the (mis)information out there about the.
