The M954 mosquetão is probably my favorite as it is chambered in .30-06 and has a flash suppressor. Has been on my wishlist for a long time but haven’t been able to see one here in the US as they are still common place in Brazil for ceremonial duties as well as sniping for law enforcement. Obrigado pelo vídeo 🇧🇷
I agree that the Brazilian 1935 Mauser Carbine is The Best Mauser Ever Made and love the 7x57mm Mauser Cartridge! Wish there were more of them around, and who ever was in charge of procurement, seriously messed up, not buying more Carbines.
I have a Mauser Brazilian 1935. But no matching numbers of the gun and the bolt. The rifle shoots still very fine and i agree, that is the best Mauser ever made. Specialy because of the calibre 7x57.
The 1935 brasilian contract is very special. The Mausers has an wonderfull finish (pre-IIWW) ware made with a superior steel by Mauser Oberndorf in 7x57.
I have a Yugo M24-47, a Swede M96, and a Mosin-Nagant. The Brazilian M1935 sure looks sweet, based on your excellent video. Thanks for another great presentation!
just ran across a rifle in a LGS, tag was marked "CZ/Brazilian BRNO 1908/34, 7mm" . How does that fit into the lineage you described for the 1935 Brazilian?
I have a nice Dominican republic version,7mm. They bought 400 carbines,8000 long guns from Brazil.mine is 1957 refurbished. Has the side mount quick release sling mounts. Has 1922 front shight..it's really nice,but not as pristine as yours.
You can find many Brazilian VZ. 24 out on the market. In the 20's and 30's, each state had the liberty to negotiate it's own weapons for the local police, wich led São Paulo (the richest state in the union) to buy many Lugers and Mausers from Germany. Altough, after the coup leaded by Getúlio Vargas, Germany wasn't able to provide any new rifles or small arms to São Paulo, since the state was heavily against Getúlio. So, the governor and the heads of the "Força Pública" (today São Paulo military police) ordered around 15.000 rifles from CZ. After the revolution in 1932, those rifles remained in service not only with the "Força Pública", but also in the Army. Today they all belong to the FAB (Air Force) and are only used in parades.
I am curious. I served Brazilian army late 80's. As I recall, the Mauser I used to carry was chambered in 7.62 x 51. I know there was a factory in Brazil converting the caliber to NATO. Please lecture me on that. Also, I would love to add a Brazilian Mauser to my collection. I miss those old times.
Sim , foram fabricados por fn em 7x57 tambem, e em muitos outros calibres, e foram convertidos por imbel tambem na fabrica itajubá, abraço bons tiroa boa diversao
The rifle you served with is what was called the Mosquefal, a conversion of the Mauser rifle to 7.62x51 mm, the same caliber of the FN FALs recently acquired. The conversion was made by Brazilian Imbel factory.
I am a big fan of the long rifle version. Thanks for the presentation of it. One part of the history on the 1908 contract which I came across was due the begging of WWI, Brazil had received the 1st lot of rifles but the later shipment was never delivered as it was confiscated by Germany to supply their auxiliary troops/allies. Don't really know is there is any truth on this statement (internet-based information need to taken carefully 😉). The 1908 long rifle I own is really in a great condition overall, the numbers don't match, but this is also part of another story. There were some civil unrest in Brazil at that time and someone thought to separate the rifles from bolts, storing it on different locations just in case there something happened. Reason for many Brazilian rifles from this era not having matching parts, as well on how the soldiers at that time used to clean multiple rifles at the some time. - thanks for sharing it.
1909 was the year for the finest Mausers ever made....the 1909 Argentine and 1909 Peruvian. Both are commanding serious money and more difficult to find.
as far as fit and finish the 1891 Argentine was most likely the best . not the best cartage and not the strongest and the mag box sticking down but as far as the blue the wood and the fit its right up there at the top
Yea the Brazilian 1935 Banner Rifle is almost as good as the Chilean 1935 Banner Rifle of which I looked at mine this morning, what a gun. I don't have a Brazilian1935 but do have a 1908 with a mismatched bolt which is turned down and the last 2 numbers match nd dosen't bother me a bit as it shoots great. the turn down bolt is probably from a carbine.
I just seen a 1908 Brazilian mauser but the crest has been rubbed off and seems like on purpose(not by a bubba) Do you a have a video on this? Was it sold to another South American country? Thanks
Beautiful rifle. I have seen a few VZ24’s for sale at auction but they were listed as 7mm Mauser. I don’t believe you have done a video on these. Did VZ do South American contracts too or are these one off rebarreled rifles?
Where can i go to learn more on the 1922 Carbine? My buddy's dad gave me one for doing some work on his house. I know it's in 7x57mm, but there's little to nothing about them.
What about the Modelo 08/34 Short Rifle, made by CZ? I recently sold mine, a sweet little carbine still in 7mm. It appeared virtually identical to your 1935 carbine. There was a slight difference in the front sight protectors, and the dovetail was the conventional style..
Im a big fan of the Swedish Mauser myself . Also you cant deny the Persian BRNO 98/29 aint bad! I got one in mint condition a few years back.I love it!
According to Hornady ballistic calculator using .595 BC (G1) 198g Bullet 760 M/S the impact will be +7.4 cm high at 100m from 200m zero hold for combat/open sights few soldiers will be any more accurate than 74mm especial as most ball ammo was 75 to 120 mm CEP (3-4 moa) to begin with. The 400m zero of the older G98 on the other hand... 28.9 CM (400 hold to 100 impact) 289mm that is 11.38 inch! belt buckle aim was for a reason !
I own several long 1898 long Mausers, 3 of them beautiful brand new and unused : 1935 Brazilian Mauser ; 1909 Argentine, DWM made ; and 98-29 or 1319 Persian, BRNO made. Unfortunately, 1935 brazilian and Persian carbines were never sent here in Europe. 08/34 BRNO are available, but most of them show hard sign of use. I also have a Peruvian 1909 Mauser ; a 1910 made 1908 Uruguayan DWM, a 1917 Danzig gewehr, and an Oberspree 1918-1920 Reichwehr gewehr, both in excellent condition. In France, most of the shooters doesn't show much interest for these rifles, they can be purchased at correct prices.
I like it. I like the length, safety features, and handling of the Kar98k, but not the 8mm cartridge. Maybe I’ll add a Brazilian an Chilean to my Swede someday.
I picked up a Mauser from a friend of mine-It looks like the carbine from Chile ( stock is almost spot on except no side mount sling attachments), standard blade front site.The crest is almost totally warn off.On the right side of the receiver is Model 1908 ( made by DWM ).Help Please, Thanks
For the long rifles, I could guess that the Brazilians were just going with what their soldiers knew. They were obviously familiar with the long rifle so it made sense for them to keep the long rifle concept rather than training and remediating for the concept of carbines
Thank you very much for a great video. I've came very late to Mauser collecting and education about the brothers Mauser and their fine quality firearms and their innovating designs. The history of this great company is a large pert of history of the 19th and 20th centuries. You have a great channel and I'm envious of the firearms display behind you.
I'm starting to appreciate mausers all around because of these videos and the books I've read instead of chasing war time ones like everyone else. Thanks
Your guess is correct. The impacts are close enough. Great review brother. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Now, I need to find one to spend some money on.
Tanks my friend, i brasilian citizen , i live in Brasil, the mausers have use today for hunters and shooting sport, and military dauy shows like independence day
I've got a Mod 1908 Mauser 7×57mm. It's all matching numbers On the crest it say Brazil 1889. It's in awesome shape. Like you said this one I have is made in Berlin. It still shoots amazingly well. It's a nice piece of Hardware. Thanks for the video
Cool, yeah its a cool rifle. I like how the Brazilian 1935's barrel is about 3 inches shorter. Also the quick detach side sling and the better front sight post.
"Something kinda important happened in Germany in 1933" Gosh I hate such references to some minor, obscure and niche events only history buffs could possibly know. How your audience is suppose to decipher that
Why do the south Americans get all the attention? There is so very little about Mexican mausers on RU-vid in comparison. Yet there are so many Mexican-Americans in this country. Please right this wrong with a special, in depth, episode on the Mexican mausers.
I got a Brazilian Mauser 08/34 chambered in 30.06 and a Star model Super B for a local trade for my CZ455. I like my Brazilian Mauser alot, the best part is I can get commercially loaded 30.06 to feed it.
@@MilsurpWorld I almost felt bad, but he really wanted a CZ...........the Super B was the best part, it was literally in like new condition, its like a Spanish 1911 that shoots 9mm luger.
Recently got a Chilean 1935 for 375, had a rough exterior and a snapped off locking screw, but otherwise a great condition chamber/bore, bolt face and action. Cant wait to try out the 7x57 out, bought some heavy 173gr spce locally to tide me over before I ship some 139gr fmjs
I plan on drill pressing out the stripped screw, used some loctite in the meantime, doubt it matters repairing though, since similar mauser like rifles like the Arisaka don't use a locking screw
I would say the 1909 Argentine Mauser is the best military Mauser. It has the commerical style hinged floor plate, the fit and finish is outstanding and the 7.65 is a great cartridge.
@@MilsurpWorld I'd love to see that when you get the chance! Examples of the long rifle, carbine and engineer's carbine are all out there to be found. One of my dream rifles is a 1909 Sniper Rifle.
The German made 1909 Argentine Mausers sound like bank vault closing when you work the bolt. The Argentine made ones show less quality. While the 7.65mm round is excellent, I'd still give the edge to the 7mm round.
@@browngreen933 The brazilions weren't known for proper cleaning of their bores. The 7.65s would actually hit point first, most 7mm bores were stove pipes.
just purchased a Brazilian 1935 carbine trying to look up the serial number to find out some info on it any Ideas? serial number is in the 1600's thank you
@@MilsurpWorld a guarda bandeira utilizou do Mauser 1935 como armamento referindo-se ao tradicionalismo... São os mesmos fuzis utilizados pelo exército brasileiro de 1930/40, porém com um bom estado de conservação e restauração
