Mauser Chilean Mondelo 1895
Up next is an 1895 Chilean Mauser Mondelo. I really hope this one turns out OK, as it's one of my favorite rifles. Unlike the last two rifles which were 8mm mausers, this one is chambered in 7mm.

That looks really good also. Considering this particular rifle is around 120 years old, I'm pretty impressed. There's some pitting, and some light copper fouling. I've never cleaned some of these rifles, so I'll have to clean this one and take another look.
