Mauser Modelo Argentino 1909 – .30-06 SPRG – Precision Rear Peep Sight

This is a no reserve penny auction for a Mauser Modelo Argentino 1909 bolt-action rifle in .30-06 SPRG. Serial number- B8032. This 1909 is in good condition for its age and features a Williams precision rear peep sight. It's sporterized, and has been re-barreled to .30-06. The bore is great for the age of the rifle, with sharp, distinct lands all the way down. This rifle, which was a variant of the Gew. 98 Mauser, was adopted by Argentina in 1909 and remained in service until a decade or so following the end of World War I. Some 285,000 were made. The original caliber was 7.65x53mm, a round that first appeared in the Model 1889 Belgian Mauser. Early guns were built to take the German-type bayonet, but later ones were set up to mount the Model 1891 Argentine bayonet. These are beautifully-made rifles and they shoot very well. Please review photos for exact condition.
