In my case there would be a couple hundred rounds every year or so. I can imagine the experience most people have is that they buy one, never put more than 20 rounds though it and predictably walk away with no receiver fragments in their teeth. 308 version appeals to me, the ammo is widely available. If I buy a gun I plan to put a lot of ammo through it. Well here's why I'm so concerned about the safety of these rifles.
If I currently had the disposable income. Ultimately they are a pretty good gun to own. Now remember, these were done by Chilean aresenals- not back yard gunsmiths. At one point they had a sleve soldered into them to rechamber them to. Made using old-world style German craftsmanship. 308 (though I do have on in original 7mm) so I can't make a comment on accuracy. The ones you are seeing adverstised were made between 1895-1898, though they did made them a few years longer. (Back on topic) Yes they are antiques under federal law- and they can be shipped directly to you without an FFL (even in CA if the seller is willing). Sailormilan2 Is talking about a completely different animal. The OP is talking about M1895 Chilean Mausers. The Chilean 308 Mausers that I have seen and held(3 barreled receivers), are marked 1912-61. I have seen lots of pre 98 actions rebarreled with high pressure cartridges(22/250, 243 Win. However, last year, the AMERICAN RIFLEMAN magazine had a short article regarding 7/62 NATO vs 308 Win commercial, and they stated that they had found MIlitary 7.62 ammo with higher pressure than the 308 Commercial ammo. NATO is supposed to be lower pressured than commercial ammo. The pre 98 Mausers are not quite as strong as the 98 style. However, if those are the pre 98 Mausers, they might be okay for 7.62 NATO ammo, but definatly not for commercial ammo. I have seen 4 groove and 2 groove barrels. But were rebarreld in 308(1961?) using 1903 Springfield barrels that had about 1/2" cut of the chamber area, rethreaded, rechambered, and then the exteriors were turned down to Mauser style profile.
