    Chilean Carbinaro Carbine

    I've got a 98 Mauser Carbine mfd in 1935 with the Mauser Banner on the rear receiver ring and Chilean Carbineros logo on the front ring. It's in 7 mm, that's right, 7 mm Mauser Cal. I understand there were 10,000 made with their unique front sight for Chileicon. Can any one enlighten me about this rifle???

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    No, but maybe you can enlighten us! Desciption and pics would do wonders. Used to see like new Chileanicon Rifles from time to time w/ their beautiful finish, but nothing nice for ages, now! From where did you get your production figures?

    Like jmoore said, pics are always great. The Chileanicon Mauser is a very good version of the Mauser Carbine. The cal. is 7x57mm and is very accurate.
    The 7x57mm cartridge, also known as the 7 mm Mauser, 7x57mm Mauser, 7 mm Spanish Mauser in the USAicon and . 275 Rigby in the United Kingdomicon, was developed by Mauser in 1892 and adopted as a military cartridge by Spain in 1893. It was subsequently adopted by several other countries as the standard military cartridge. It is recognised as a milestone in modern cartridge design, and although now obsolete as a military cartridge. The 7x57mm has been deservedly described as "a ballistician's delight".
    The British had some bad experiences with such a caliber during the Boer war, the Boers made good experiences, they used it against the British Army. If the rifle is in good condition and a good shooter, i wonder if it isnt so, you will have a nice competition rifle. RWS-RUAG makes a very good ammo for this caliber.

    Regards

    It may be the single best military cartridge of the smokeless powder era. Possibly followed by the Britishicon .280 round for the EM2.
