My Argentine Mauser

meatgrinder42 · November 2, 2011, 11:39 AM

I have an 1891 Argentine Mauser rifle that I'm thinking about modernizing. The rifle's stock was cut down when I got it, and I've long given up trying to track down another military stock for it... It's *blanking* impossible... I always seem to be too late. The action is unmolested numbers matching from 1894 I replaced the firing pin spring because I was getting worried about how light the dents in the primers were (always fired though and I kept the original spring).

I use it for deer hunting and, as another member will agree, I'm fairly accurate with it shooting open sights at 75 yards. I'm thinking about getting a different stock (keeping the old one because it IS the original stock just...missing more than 25% of it), getting a little nicer trigger pull, I'd like to keep the two stage pull but the 'break' is pretty heavy. And putting a scout style scope on it.

The rifle isn't worth much, but I love it. Anyone have links or parts vendors that make triggers for the 1891? Or any parts in general?

Numerich has most of the factory parts, except stocks of course

A Brownell's search brings up Timney triggers, but not sure of which model fits the 91.

And BTW, the range was more like 100 yards
