I have been collecting for a few years now. Mostly bolt action milsurp rifles. One constant is that I keep hearing about the quality of South American Mausers. This one caught my attention recently and I grabbed it. Still in its original 7.65 Argentine caliber and all matching. Good bore. Any information on these rifles is appreciated. I am excited to enter the world of South American Mausers.

Made by FN for Peru. FN Mausers book covers many South American Mausers in detail. There are books on Chilean Mausers and Argentine Mausers as well.

From a write up I did elsewhere

1935 Peruvian Mauser

FN made 30,000 Short Rifle Mausers to the specifications of Peru. These Mausers the safety is to the opposite direction of all others. It is considered its own model which is the Peruvian 1935. There were also an unknown number of Carbines made according to FN Mauser book but this has been disputed. They were initially made in 7.65mm Mauser, had checkered flat bolt knobs on one side, and were the first FN rifles with corrugated butt plates. Up to 80% of the Model 1935 were converted to .30-06. Most conversions were done by FN. The receivers were notched for the longer .30-06 round. They were also refinished. Most were blued some were painted like the Belgian 1950 Mausers. Cal .30 was often added to the stock and sometimes to the siderail and .30 on the top rear of the receiver. Many still remain in Peru.

All Have the Following Matching Parts

1. Receiver
2. Bolt
3. Stock marked on buttstock
4. Barrel with Liege Proof

Pic shows .30-06 conversion and original side by side.

Hi
I just got one its stamped 1932 made in Czech .
Rifle I assume? That is not an easy one to find. All matching? I was working on importing one from Germany, but my friend was in a horrific car accident so plans are on hold.

If you are even interesting in Chilean Mauser there is the nice book of David Nielsen - History of the Mauser Rifle in Chile - Schiffer Military.

You may find detailed info and pictures about 1895, 1912 and 1935 rifles.

That was the one I was talking about. I had it pre-ordered for 6 months. Very good book. Especially the details about the contracts.
