Great, as always! Are you also going to talk about the Chilean short Rifle and Carbine later? I have a short rifle with the Lowe receiver markings, so I assume that means it was manufactured in 1895 or '96. It is close to the post WWI 24" "standard", but is about 3" shorter. Very handy. I'm also curious as to the relationship with the Boer contract rifles and short rifles.

I finally bought some ballistol for rust control on older tools. Was surprised to see that 90% water + 10% ballistol is a cutting fluid.

I’m sure that I’m missing something obvious here but, how did the Chileans adopting their rifle chambered in 7.65 mean that they’d be able to use Argentine ammunition but not the other way around? Or were they adopting a different 7.65mm round with differing dimensions? It’s probably me but I wasn’t clear on that point.

Is there a reason the comments are turned off on the YouTube version? Just wondering if you guys knew is all

Keep up the great work guys. I also am looking forward to the next episode on the Chilean short rifle and carbines. I have a turn down bolt short rifle that I acquired to pair with my 1891 Argentine. You guys are a wealth of information, and I love watching your videos and listening to your banter. I watched all six + hours of your Q &A (happy to have had one of my questions answered) and listen to all of your podcasts. Look forward to seeing more of your great content. Keep it up! Be well and stay safe. Cheers! Si vis pacem, para bellum

Great review as always! Interesting how 100+ years later we coming back to the 6.5mm "sweet spot" for ballistics.

Yay!!

Need a Mauser playlist so we can easily watch them all back to back to back!!!!

Thanks to everyone who contributed to producing this episode

Dennis McNamara

if you go 'oldgunshow.com", under Primer Gallery, there is a list of most of the Primer episodes. It is by year and country, so it should not be too hard to pick out the ones you want.

Joseph Wellman

All good with the clarification regarding Jack's comment above. Also, how long did Chile keep them in service? I have an 1895 and would like to know how long they were active and if we have any dates regarding serial numbers.

The South American arms races are fascinating , the build up in their Navies was equally intense . Can't wait till Mauser hits 1898 and realises length is overated .

Guido Schriewer

never shot that caliber. think I never have heard anything but praises about it. curious...

Bruce Brodnax

Keeping the cutting tip cool is a big part of cutting fluids' job description; a minimal amount of lubrication and the rust prevention benes are a bonus.

Bruce Brodnax

Right about the 7 minute mark, wrt "Emil Koerner" (sorry, don't have Key Caps on this WinBlows machine to get the umlaut) you should be pronouncing like "kerner" [said with a smile, as my old German prof taught!] not like "corner" (sic.)

Scott Weed

Excellent episode on the Chilean Mauser, thanks! Enjoy the historical perspective.

Pretty sure I saw these for sale in a Sportsman's Guide catalog a few decades back, no paperwork required. Should've bought one.

Will Lowery

Since we aren’t stuck in WW1 any longer, I have a Peruvian M1935 mfg by FN, based on there 1924/30 98k variant, and subsequently converted to .30-06 by FN. I would love to know more about it and would happily send to y’all for an episode.

At around 38:20 you talk about the serial numbers being in blocks of 10,000 with a prefix but the graphic you show has them counting up in blocks of 1,000 with a prefix.

YT was auto resetting videos as of late for no comments. It may or may not stay reverted but it appears to be an error they had with uploads that week.
