The Argentine Mauser (Model 1891) was used by the Argentine government from 1891 until 1909.  This model has a straight bolt handle that must be altered if a scope is mounted and a 2-position safety.  It is designed to be loaded from the top with five-round charger clips but can also be single loaded. This rifle is no longer in production and some parts are not available. The Argentine Mauser was initially made on contract by Ludwig Loewe and Company of Berlin.  It was introduced to Argentina by then-Major Pablo Ricchieri.
