What’s Included
- DWM Chilean Model 1895 Mannlicher Sporter rifle (bolt not included)
Built by Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken, this rifle began life as a Chilean contract Model 1895 Mauser before being converted to a sleek sporter layout. The full-length Mannlicher stock provides a distinctive European hunting profile while maintaining a comfortable 14-inch length of pull.
The original 7mm Mauser chambering is prized for its mild recoil and excellent ballistic performance. Despite the rifle’s age, the bore remains clean with strong rifling, indicating it was cared for even as external wear accumulated.
A 19.25-inch barrel keeps overall length manageable without sacrificing the 7x57mm cartridge’s effective velocity. The blued finish, though worn, highlights its honest field history and complements the warm hardwood stock.
While the bolt assembly is absent, replacement parts are commonly available for Mauser 1895 actions, allowing a knowledgeable owner to return this classic to functional status or keep it as a collectible display piece.
