Identifying an old rifle 2017-01-24 04:02:35 Post No. 32756506

I recently picked up a pair of old bolt-action rifles; one of which was a sporterized Argentine 1891 Mauser, and the other one is a bit of a mystery: it looks a lot like a Mauser, but there are minimal identifying marks as to make or model. It looks like it is designed to accept a detachable magazine, but I can't tell much else beyond that. Any assistance in figuring it is appreciated.

1891 carcano carbine, sporterized, probably 6.5mm based on the sights but it could also be 7.35mm, VERY IMPORTANT: make sure you know what caliber you have 7.35mm will chamber in a 6.5mm gun which will cause a KB, use the right caliber and it will function like it should use the wrong caliber and you will have a bad day

Thanks for the replies, folks. I'm going to dump the rest of what I've got in case there's anything alarming I overlooked that you can point out.

Last one, folks. Thanks for all the help with identifying it. I don't have any >clips for it, so no range time any time soon, but that shouldn't be too hard to rectify. I can drop a couple pictures of the Argentine mauser if anyone's interested, but otherwise just let this thread die.
