DWM 1909 Argentine Carbine - Gorgeous

[martin08]

Couldn't pass this one at the show, even for $425. It's just too nice.

Now, I wish that I could tell you it is a Cavalry Carbine, Engineers, cut down infantry, 09/26, 09/47, etc. There seem to be as many descriptions of these carbines as there are presentations of these guns.

So, I'll just call it a 1909 Carbine, post up some pics, and call it gorgeous. Enjoy, and thanks for looking.

Sweet.

SA Mausers are not my forte; Juergen will probably know.

Wow! I think that's the nicest one I've seen and with a nice leather sling no less. Great price on that beauty.

Wow! Someone really took care of that one over the years.

Any pitting under the stock along the barrel? I think that was a common problem with South American rifles.

Nice score!

Which show?

The Ancient Ones Outdoorsman Show at the Augusta Armory in Maine. First in line at the door paid off.

And a couple more guns to come when I get a chance for pics.

7mm?

The bore diameter is stamped on the barrel of these pre-1968 imports, just in front of the barrel band, 7.65mm.

Sounds like a show to check out next year!

Nice clean rifle. I've got one that needs a stock that I hope to complete one day.

A nice M1909 Cavalry Carbine, made in 1911. 24,000 of these were made at DWM.
Only 10,000 Engineers carbines were made and they are all in the A-block.
An 09/47 would carry the FMAP brand and 19,600 of these were newly made from 1947
through 1959, along with bayos.
The Mountain carbine looks pretty much like the later Standard Modell, same in length.
6,000 of those were made in 1910 and another 4,000 in 1912.
