Chilean Mauser hand guard

[Dad]

Can you post a picture of the left side of the receiver showing the model number (Mauser Modelo Chileno 1895) and an overall picture of the rifle.
Could you possibly have a 1891 Modelo Argentino action and handguard in a 1895 Modelo Chileno stock?

Well I didn't take an over all picture but here are three of the serial #, model type , and the indentation.

Stock is original as it matches the barrel and receiver. B4300

It's definatly an 1895.



the indentation is right above the inlet for the collar.

I'm going to assume an arsenal repair and leave it as is. It matches the stock.
I ordered some brass and bullets so now to see how it shoots.

Thanks for the help

It might be an arsenal repair due to the correct replacement handguard not being available, or BUBBA did some work on it.
All the Modelo Chileno 1895s I have seen, seem to have a handguard with a collar retaining the rear end like a M1903, not wire wrap retained like a Modelo Chileno 1891.

A Modelo Chileno 1895 should look like these pictures.
