Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collecting these great historical battle rifles is great fun, but the serious novice will soon become confused, and then irritated. The Author, a veteran Mechanical Engineer, knows this, because it happened to him too. He actually wrote this book for his own use, from notes he made to avoid being cheated out of hard-earned gun-collecting investment funds, and now he shares it with you. Its Mauser Model identification procedure guides the new collector in sorting out a specific rifle identity from the world's hundreds of known physical variants, using standard photographic references commercially available to everyone. It is chock full of brand-new close-up photos, mechanical details, info on chamber crests, markings, and the historical time line of the many global manufacturers of this immortal rifle. It is written in a crusty, personal and often irreverent style (but only where irreverence is well past due!)

Download or read book Argentine Mauser Rifles 1871 1959 written by Colin Webster and published by Schiffer Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the complete story of Argentinas contract Mauser rifles from the purchase of their first Model 1871s to the disposal of the last shipment of surplus rifles received in the United States in May 2002. Between 1891-1959 Argentina bought or manufactured nearly 500,000 Mauser rifles and carbines for itself as well as for its neighbors Peru, Bolivia, Uruguay and Paraguay. It also supplied Spain with rifles to help suppress the Melilla revolt in Morocco, which were eventually used against the United States during the Spanish American War of 1898. The Argentine Commissions relentless pursuit of tactical superiority resulted in a major contribution to the development of Mausers now famous bolt-action system. The combined efforts of the Belgian, Turkish and Argentine arms commissions between 1889 and 1892 produced the origins of what became the Model 98 bolt-action system that is still in use today over 110 years later. Details include: thirty-seven identified variants; the history behind each purchase and the technical description of each variant; contract-by-contract, and in the case of the Model 1891, 1909 and 1947 weapons a month-by-month, detail of production and shipping data; over 400 pictures, illustrations, documents and blueprints; history and details of the manufacturing facilities in Europe and in Argentina as well as a description of the manufacturing process used by the Matheu (DGFM-FMAP) small arms factory in Argentina; interesting and colorful anecdotes about the people involved, including revelations about spying and secret alliances never before revealed.

Book excerpt: In one magnificent volume, Lud Olsons Mauser Bolt Rifles gives the reader the most complete, precise, authoritative and comprehensive work ever done on Mauser bolt rifles...the most famous, most copied and still one of the finest rifles ever designed. Mauser Bolt Rifles is truly invaluable to gunsmiths, gun lovers and all Mauser owners. It will help identify the particular model to help the gunsmith mount scopes or sights, locate repair parts, do trigger work, restock, correct feed or magazine problems, even rebarrel and rechamber for other cartridges. If you collect guns, there are literally hundreds of thousands of Mauser bolt rifles. Some are extremely valuable - others are definitely not - and you must know the difference. Mauser Bolt Rifles will give you a better understanding of how all modern bolt rifles work...for they all copied the Mauser.Lud very carefully and thoroughly takes you through each of the various designs created in Oberndorf. The amazing creative genius of Paul Mauser is followed closely as step-by-step, new innovation-by-new innovation, culminating in what must be recognized as the most famous, extensively used and copied military rifle design of all times - the German Model 98 Rifle. But, the story does not stop here, for many, many Countries other than Germany made Mauser rifles. And, of course, some very special and unusual designs came out of the Mauser factories for specific military needs. At the same time, a wide variety of sporting arms were made not only for the German hunting market, but also for the English, American and other foreign markets. These sporting rifles, popularly known as Oberndorf Mausers, were made by Mauser and by foreign companies using Mauser designs. Lud also takes each model as it was developed and gives the complete history of the development, all the changes to that particular model as compared to earlier models, all the specific characteristics of that model that make it unlike any other Mauser, all the variations of that model, all the minutiae that make it possible to identify that specific model, variation or development from all those before and after it...including type, caliber, weight, length (both barrel and overall), magazine capacity, sighting equipment, rifling, makers and markings. Then, each model is further identified, where possible, by the various countries that bought it, or made if for themselves; the quantities they bought or made, the proof markings and seals that were used; the minor changes made under each contract by or for each country; and the time span involved in the manufacture at each location. And, then he gives data on the ammunition: cartridge case, powder used, bullet variations, weights and shapes, ballistic information.A truly an amazing - and very impressive - book. If Mauser designed it, developed it, made it, marketed it, there is complete how-to-identify, how-it-works information given.

Download or read book History of the Mauser Rifle in Chile written by David Nielsen and published by Schiffer Military History. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of its rise as a regional South American power, Chile chose to emulate the highly successful Prussian military system in the last decades of the 19th century. Prior conflicts and the prospect of war with Argentina, which came to a head in the early 1890s, can be seen as the pretext for Chile's purchase of "Prussian" military equipment, including Mauser rifles and Krupp cannons. This book summarizes important regional events, while also offering a general historical overview of Mauser developments. It will then proceed to expose the particulars of Chile's Mausers, purchases that resulted in the Model 1895, 1912, and 1935. Also detailed are the technical specifics of each of these three models and the historical events surrounding their acquisition. The result is the first comprehensive attempt at documenting these important artifacts and events, which will, it is hoped, initiate further research into this fascinating topic.

Book excerpt: The second of two volumes on Mauser rifles, this full-color, illustrated book presents the design, manufacturing, development, and combat use of the various models from 1918 through World War II.

This book presents the various models of this famous rifle, as well as the changes made to its manufacture during the Second World War. Details include close-up views of markings, as well as a serial numbers list, and a visual breakdown of the weapons. Accessories such as ammunition, ammo pouches, bayonets, magazines, scopes, and cleaning kits are featured throughout the book, as are rarely seen combat-related uniform and equipment items.
