7.65 Mauser

[Adam Helmer]

Sellers85,

Welcome to the Forum; I see this is your 7th post. Do you have the rifle, short rifle or carbine M1891 7.65mm? Is it full military? The M1891 is a two-locking lug Mauser that is best suited to mild handloads. Mounting a scope on the rifle would involve drilling and tapping the receiver, and would diminish its collector value, and the bolt and safety would have to be altered further reducing any collector value.

I would suggest you use the arm with the issue iron sights and mild loads until you can buy that .308 deer rifle.

If you scroll down on this Forum to "Military/Surplus Arms" the Moderator there is named Gil Martin and he will give you "information overload" on any Mauser including your M1891. I hope this helps, and again, welcome to the Forum.
