7mm Mauser Short Rifle M95 Loewe Production For Chile

**bigmacglenn** · 07-21-2012, 08:07 PM

I picked up this 7mm Mauser 95 Short Rifle for $350 recently. This one's in pretty good shape for its age with a nice bore, not beat up like some I've seen for sale. This particular model was a deadly tool in the hands of the Boers as they fought the British...
I have an appreciation for the quality workmanship and the overall mystique of the Mauser....another good thing about it is that there was no FFL or paperwork involved in the transaction, as this is considered an antique, not a firearm, as it was produced before 1899...
And although this isn't one of the most sought after of Mausers, I really like the smaller size as compared to the standard Mausers...it also still means alot to me to be able to say "I have a Mauser in my military collection!"
A historic and dependable rifle at a decent price...!

Cheers, Glenn

I have seen a couple of similar Leowe made Mausers recently-both Boer War captured bringback examples-they are well made, durable weapons-congrats.

That's an insanely high price, Danny...I'll snoop around and see if I can find one for sale at a better price and let you know...
