Product Details

Antique, This offering is for the pictured Uruguayan Daudeteau Mauser Model 1871 Rifle. In good looking condition and is an interesting bit of military history.

Essentially this was a German M71 Mauser purchased by Uruguay for military service in standard caliber 11mm Mauser. In the 1890's militaries across the globe were exploring the new small caliber smokeless powder cartridges and Uruguay sought that as well.

The idea of a refurbishment/caliber conversion of existing stocks of rifles came from a long-time military supplier a Mr. Dovitis who was Greek/Uruguayan businessman. He coordinated the deal with SFAP, Société Française d'Armes Portatives Saint Dennis France for the work in 1897.

The new caliber adopted was 6.5mm Daudeteau and in Uruguay referred to as the Dovitis Mauser.

Update included: new stocks, barrels, sights, bands, and side mounted cleaning rods.

Matching serial numbers bolt to receiver. Single shot bolt action design, metal is blued with light wear and has a brass trigger guard. This has the original side storing cleaning rod.

Sound hardwood stock with minor dings and compressions.

Chambered in 6.5x53r Daudeteau the bore is brite and excellent. Not import marked.

Makes a fine rifle for the military collector.
