I was able to shoot my Argentinian Mauser Model 1909 after receiving it as a gift about 20 years ago.

It was the first rifle I ever shoot, back in 1973 when in High School on a marksmanship program.

It was great. What a weapon, power accuracy, solid, balanced.

German made, rebored to 7.65x53 in Argentina. Over 100 years old and probably as good as the new rifles.

An experience worth sharing.

7.65X53, 7.65 Argentine is the original caliber your rifle was manufactured in.

My bet is it was manufactured by Lowe in Germany.

These are among the smoothest and most well made 98 pattern Mausers ever made.

Keep it, shoot it, love it!

Thanks for the correction on the original caliber.

I also own an Israeli Mauser which was rebored to 7.62 hence my confusion.

This a a model 98, hopefully bringing it to the range next Friday.

Btw, the Mauser Modelo Argentino 1909 was manufactured by Deutsche Waffen Und Munitionfabriken, Berlin. All matching numbers.
