The 1891 is chambered in the 7.65x53mm Mauser cartridge and is a very long, slender, elegant, and beautifully made. The Modelo 1891 had a short service life as it was replaced by the more modern Modelo 1909 Argentine Mauser in 1909. I am thinking about buying all new guts for the bolt and safety and trying that. Based upon the same Mauser protruding box magazine design as the Belgian 1889 and Turkish 1890 Mauser rifles. When the striker is in the fired/uncocked position the safety “wing” just flops all over. I also noticed that when the rifle is cocked the safety is in the fire position(wing to the left as your looking down the rifle sights)and you can’t move it to the up position(disassemble) and to the right(safe). It is like the striker is released but the firing pin doesn’t move. I have tried this with brand new Norma brass and a surplus Argentine military round with the same result. Upon opening the bolt the round is held until proper ejection. Nine rimmed cartridges in a single-stack configuration could be loaded quickly by the use of a charger, or 'stripper clip' that was inserted into the. I don’t think the ‘91 had the controlled extractor however, a case and whole round fits under it and is held in place by it. The Model 1891 marked two firsts for Mauser: this was the first of Paul Mauser's designs what chambered smokeless ammunition, as well as the first production Mauser rifle to employ a box magazine. Tried dropping different rounds into the chamber and the only thing that fits is the original chambering.
