7.65 Argentine

Thanks Maven but I have what I need for 7.65. Unless you have an original stock in good shape......

Back when I was in college (a little longer than a week ago) I purchased a sporter Argy Mauser because the price was right. The owner of the LGS let customers use his press and equipment to reload, and only charged for the materials used. Pretty good for a starving student. I converted a batch of 30-06 cases, but had some signs of overpressure, compared to the factory standard cases I had worked up. It seems the thicker walls on the mil brass reduced the internal volume (I think). It shot really well with 175 gr J-words designed for the .303 Brit. I carried it in the deer woods, until I traded it for a Savage 99.

This is why for decades the reloading manuals have advised reducing loads 10% when using military brass.

mikeORB, Not the stock, but a complete Modelo 1909 (has Lyman #57 receiver sight installed + Swedish Mauser front sight blade) that I'll put up for sale after Thanksgiving.

A reloading tip for the 7.65 Argie. You can neck size nice and easy with a Lee .303 British collet die. Works great.

I agree, the 303 collet works good with , 7.65 & 7.62 x 54 one die, 3 calibers

Was the Swede Mauser front sight blade a direct fit replacement? Do you recall the number on the blade?

I have a bunch of them to get rid of

Damn. My two long rifles are McGrath 1894, and 1895. My 'carbine" was originally a long rifles, that appears to have been cut down from a long rifle... It's serial number puts it made in 1899. Certainly older than I thought they were... Grins

Manufactured.

A new stock for my rifle will have to wait awhile as I found a plating shop to rechrome the furniture for my original 1891 rifle. I have seen a few stock for sale on EB** and Gunbroker.
