I have a Czech made Brazilian Modelo 08/34 short rifle in the original 7mm. Very handy little carbine.
Of course, it's built on a '98 action. Don't rule out a nice Brazilian.
Interested in acquiring a M1893 or M1895 7mm Mauser. Noticed ammo for the 7mm Mauser seems to be pretty available in the U.S.
Ive seen Spanish Mausers and Chilean Mausers. Which tend to be better built?
Hope this is ok to post.
A friend just inherited this Mauser, I can't tell much about it. Hoping the eyes here could help determine more about it, I think it's a 7mm, but details of age and value I cannot determine.
Looks like a Spanish M1916. You can tell by the length and the gas escape hole on the left side of the receiver. Probably in 7x57 Mauser unless it was one of the ones converted to 7.62 or some other bubba conversion.
Value is probably $100 or less. Not particularly valuable or sought after in it’s original configuration anyway. Sportered versions are near worthless as anything except a shooter.

BTW, the stock has been sporterized.

Does that rifle still look like that or have you restored it?
The last pic in my post is what it looks like “after” I de-Bubba’d it.
