Model 1909 Argentine Mauser Serial Numbers

The Mauser 1909 was a slightly modified copy of the Gewehr 98. Among other modifications, the Lange Visier sight was replaced by a tangent leaf sight. The M1909 was also able to use the bayonet of the Mauser 1891 it replaced.^[1] The main producer in Germany was Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken that delivered 200,000 rifles^{[[[Wikipedia:Citing_sources|page needed]]]}-2'>[2] while around 85,000 rifles^[1] were manufactured by the Fabrica Militar de Armas Portatiles, governmental plants in Rosario and Santa Fe. The Model 1909s were replaced by FN FALs^[3] without having seen combat.^[4]

Some Argentine Mauser 1909 rifles and carbines without crests were sold to Paraguay during the Chaco War.^[1]

Variants[edit]

• Mauser 1909 sniper rifle: version with a German-made scope and a bent-down bolt handle.^[4]
• Mauser 1909 cavalry carbine: shortened variant, with a straight grip stock and a forecap that covers all the barrel.^[5] The bayonet can be attached under this forecap.^[6]
• Mauser 1909 Mountain Carbine or Engineers Carbine: probably cut-down rifles^[6]

Peruvian Mauser 1909[edit]

Peru received between 1910 and 1914 thousands of Mauser Model 1909 rifles, chambered in 7.65 Mauser. They were closer copies of the Gewehr 98, including the Lange Visier sight.^[7] Aside from the caliber, the only differences were the larger receiver ring, the 5 mm (0.20 in) shorter breech, the slightly modified strip guide to use older Model 1891 strips, the longer hammer, the aspheric shape of the bolt handle and the Peruvian markings.^[8] While these rifles were able to fire the old bullets with round nose, they were later adapted to spitzer bullets.^[9] These weapons were used during the Leticia Incident and the Ecuadorian–Peruvian War.^[10] After 1945, the Mauser 1909s were replaced by American weapons and were sold in the civilian market in the 1960s, a few being kept as ceremonial rifles.^[11]
