1912 chilean mauser chambered 7mm mauser

Note the large locking lugs and claw extractor. Naturally their parade rifles are Mauser 98 and 95 rifles and their uniforms are often a spitting image for the German Army. Even to this day, their parade uniforms include Stahlhelms and elite units still wear Pickelhauben. The military of the Republic of Chile has always had a bit of a Prussian slant. No longer the case, there is still hope for the average shooter. There was also little вЂњgloryвЂќ in the trenches when compared to WWII. It was once accepted that rifles of the First World War would be less-expensive than those of the Second they were older, and had been rode harder for a longer period of time. But with a rise in interest, so have we seen a rise in prices. While gun owners generally have an interest in historical arms, weapons from World War Two usually seem to overshadow those of the Great War, so itвЂ™s good to see these firearms get more attention. And as can be expected, this interest has also crept itвЂ™s way into the firearms world. This has been helped in part by various forms of media piquing the interest of those who may not have been informed about this incredibly important historical event.

A gorgeous rifle and an example of old-world quality.
