Argentine Mauser Rifles 1871-1959 by Colin Webster - ISBN: Canadian Market Value Estimate: $ 1909 Argentine Infantry Rifle (103 picture virtual tour) Observations: In the mid 1880’s the Argentine army was using the Remington Rolling Block Rifle, after which they switched to the Model 1891 Mauser and finally, the Model 1909. The 1909 Argentine Mauser was manufactured under contract by DWM in Germany for the Argentine government. It was also later produced in Agentine factories and it's built on the large ring Mauser 98 style action.

It was made in 4 versions, the 1909 Rifle, the 1909 sniper, 1909 Cavalry, and the 1909 Mountain Carbine, each of the last three in limited numbers. The earlier model 1891 rifle made by DWM or Lowe of Germany, was small ring Mauser almost identical to turk 1890. On the model 1909, besides the larger ring for strength, the extractors were improved, as well as improving the gas porting and adding a third safety lug on the bolt. Collector's Comments and Feedback: 1. Originally published in Guns & Ammo Magazine. To many collectors, this superbly made bolt-action military rifle represents the crown jewel of all Model 98 variants. Coraline Cartoon Movie Download.
