This video explores Uruguay's unique "Dovitiis" Mauser rifles, a fascinating modification project from the late 19th century. Originally chambered in 11mm, these rifles were converted by Antonio Dovitiis to the French 6.5mm Daudetau #12 cartridge. Despite the upgrade to a high-velocity round, Uruguay ultimately opted for newer Mauser repeaters, leaving these conversions as a "forgotten" piece of arms history. The video highlights their distinctive "split personality" with both German and French markings, and their rarity in both full-length rifle and carbine variants.
