Video: M1895 Chilean Mausers

Speaker 1:
Hey everybody, Ben with Classic Firearms here. Today is Monday, May the 8th, and we have got a really nice collection of surplus rifles to bring to you today, the M1895 Chilean Mauser. These are all German made Mausers, they were made on a contract in Germany for the Chilean government. They're all 7mm Mauser caliber. We got an assortment of different styles, different sight set ups, we even have some that've been sporterized for you, different conditions. Without further ado, we're going to jump right into them. Matt's running the camera for us today. Matt, let's start right here with the good cracked variation. These are the GC code, GC indicates good condition overall, but you should expect a crack in the stock somewhere. We've looked over these pretty good. This is a darker stock color. Let me grab one of the lighter stock colors, also in the good cracked. We've looked over these pretty good, and when we're talking about a cracked stock on one of these, folks, the importer that graded them and assigned that code or them was very discerning in what they call a crack. In fact, in most cases, the cracks are very difficult to find. I'll show you the one in this one while I've got it in my hand. It's a very small crack right here in the upper hand guard, that's almost imperceivable. I haven't seen anything that would be a function inhibiting crack, anything that would be a safety risk in firing the rifle because it's cracked. In most all cases, it is very surface or very minor, at least on the ones we have seen thus far. We're calling the GC code our baseline rifle, simply because we have the most of these as far as the quantity of the different grades and conditions that we have. This one will start at $299.99. Your good cracked will be at $299.99. We will have some prices below that. We will, have some prices above that, based on what the conditions are. You'll find those in the drop down box in the ad under the custom option. Let's back a little bit and come to these. We have a couple of fair and fair cracked. There're only a very few of the fair cracked, these are the fair condition here. Frankly, I did not grade these. To me, the fairs look every bit as good as the good cracked do. It could just be the sampling that I'm seeing on this particular table. Again, the fairs and the fair cracked will be less than the $299. You will find those on farther down in the block as we said. Now, we have a certain number of rifles in the GI code. We don't typically run these, but I went ahead and bought these this time. GI stands for good overall, but incomplete, meaning this rifle will be incomplete in some way, missing a small part. In this case, we have assurance from the importer that it's the same part on every rifle, and let me show you what it is. It's right here on the rear sight. The rear sight has the sight leaf, but it does not have the elevator slide that goes up and down for the sight. If you're shooting this, of course you still have your sight plane, you still have your rear sight and your front sight, but it's not able to use a elevator. Shooting at 100 yards, you should be okay. For anything more than that, if it were mine, I would simply use a overhold, independent on pull it drop. If you want to get it, or you may be able to find these parts at Seiko or Gun Parts Corporation or whatever, but that is what's missing off of these. I think we're charging $50 less on this rifle because it is missing that one small part. That's under the good incomplete. We also have the standard good condition rifles. These are good, not missing any parts, no cracks in the stock. There will be a slight upcharge from the good cracked, and again, you will see them offered under the custom options. This is all of the long guns in the M1895s. Before I move away from this, let me look and find one that shows up really good, even in this light. All of the rifles that we've seen so far have had this really nice Chilean crest on the rifle. We're not making a guarantee for this, because these did come to us bought, and we have not opened every box. It could be that you may one that is scrubbed, or that is just worn to the point that you no longer see the crest. The ones that we have laid out here certainly and examined, did have the crest. What are you noticing there, Matt? Go ahead and ... Yeah, there's also the crest stamp there on the stock. Okay. Some of the stocks will also have kartushas. Very much like the slings folks, some of these have slings on them. If it's there, it's there. If it's not there, it's not there. We sell them like we get them. We're transitioning to the Carbines now. This will be another upcharge. We have the good cracked on the Carbine. This is an example of the short rifle in the Carbine variation. This one also has the short rear sight that you can see here. We have those both in good cracked and good condition. And, we have both in good cracked and good condition in the long rear sight model. You can see the difference in the two sights, depending on the year they were made, possibly the factory they were made at, whether it has a short rear sight or a long rear sight. And, of course, we have the overall good conditions here. The long rifles as a rule will have straight bolts, although looking at the table, I see that some have been customized to a bit bolt. The Carbines as a rule will have the bit bolt. Again, these are all in 7mm Mauser caliber, and they're all on the site priced very aggressively by surplus standards. We have a fair amount of these rifles right now, folks, I don't expect them to sell out in the first five minutes like some of the surplus we have, just because of the volume we have. Certainly, I do expect them to sell out fairly quickly. But, when you see the ad, these will be live and on the site and ready to purchase. Go ahead and take advantage of one of these while you can. Lastly, we have a very small number of these. This is the 1895 Chilean Mauser, you can still see the nice stamping in the receiver. You can also see the custom job that's been done on the bolt where it's been inlaid into the supporter stock. Got a very nice Williams rear sight. You want to shoot up the sight plain there, Matt? Yeah. Looks good. I love these. They have a Monte Carlo cheekpiece on the stock itself. It's checkered. These of course have been sporterized. Oh, that site's really nice, folks, really smooth actions on those. We have five pieces of these. If you'll type in your keyword as Chilean or M95, either way, both ads will come up. We have it on the surplus rifle as well as the sporter stock rifle that you see here. Very few quantity on those, so be sure to take advantage of that while you can. Go ahead and scan those, Matt, so people can see those. I think they'll like them. Considering the work that's been done to them, it's a very good price point. Lastly, we do want to get this in. Over the weekend and the latter part of last week, we were closing out our Sky M39 rifles. I've got one here in my hand, very strong response to that promotion. Folks love the Sky variation rifle by Seiko, the Sky's were produced by Seiko or Seiko, for the civilian guard. We were down to cracked stock rifles. We still have a few of those left. We would like to clear through those so we can move on into our M39 and closing out that project. Here's what we're going to do. On the Sky rifles left, we're going to offer you a deal. If you purchase any one of these Chilean Mausers, any Chilean Mauser purchase today, if you add a Sky rifle to it, you can get both rifles shipped for free. A combination of any two or more, any two Sky rifles by themself, two or more, or any Sky rifle with one of these Chilean Mauser, as long as it's an increment of above two, and as long as you have a Sky rifle in the shopping cart with it, the entire order will ship for free. No, that's not going to expand to any of the other rifles or commercial offerings that we have, but any of the Chilean Mauser, add a Sky or get two Sky's, your shipping will be free. Folks, we appreciate your business. Thanks for being with us. Take advantage of these really nice Chilean Mausers or one of these nice sporters in the same thing.
