Peruvian Mausers: 1891 and 1909
This video explores Peru's historical use of Mauser rifles, specifically the Model 1891 and Model 1909. It details their acquisition, original chambering in 7.65x53mm Argentine Mauser, and subsequent upgrades. The Model 1891 was acquired indirectly from Argentina, while the Model 1909 was purchased from Germany as an export variant of the Gewehr 98. The description also touches on the rifles' eventual sale as surplus, with many entering the United States via Interarms.
