Beautiful rifle. I have one of these rifles as well I wish it looked as good as yours. Your rifle is a bit earlier than mine.They were both manufactured inthe same serial number lot. Is the bolt handle bent or straight? Is the bolt face round or does it have a flat bottom. If I am not mistaken Model 95s had a round bolt face, while 93's had a flat bottom. 95s had a wider tang than the 93 they also had a notch cut in the reciever just below the bolt handle. Im guessing that yours is a 93 contract rifle for Chileicon. You can see all of my pictures on my post "Pictures of my1893 Chilean Mauser ". page 2 of the mauser forum. Ive not taken mine out to a proper range yet. Just a few shots on my backyard range with some mild 140grain handloads. Ive heard this rifle likes the 170 grain bullet better.Ihavent tried any yet as all I have are 140s that I laod for my 7x57 deer rifle. Again good for you for finding such a beatiful rifle. fishn
