Argentine Mauser Model 1891. Another gunshow purchase $100 (circa 1999). Pristine with the exception of the crest being ground off. C-prefix dates to 1892 (per Webster's book). I own both this 1891 and a DWM Model 1909 Argentine Mauser. The 1909 just won't shoot as good as this 1891. I haven't spent enough time with the 1909 so it may show it's true colors eventually. Brass is Norma & Graff.
This target shows me zeroing when using the scope for the first time. The first 4 shots were dialing in the scope at 50 yards. Then the next 10 rds went repeatidly into the X ring. This target is typical for this rifle. Scope mount is my own manufacture.
Lee 170 gr flat nose .314" (.30-30 bullet) using 10.5 grs Swede gallery powder (like Unique). Its a powder puff load for wimmin and children.
In general, the Argentine Model 1891 is a very interesting rifle to collect as there are myriad differences throughout the production years which lasted until 1902. Many like this one were imported in like-new, unissued condition for very modest cost.
