Carabineros de Chile Model 1935 Mauser with a brass magazine extension

**qmcorps** · February 5th, 2019, 09:58 AM

No one( who responded) on Gunboards has ever seen Chilean M1935 in this configuration. The magazine extension appears to be an arsenal modification as it is serial numbered to the Carbine.

The original floorplate is affixed to the extension.

Any information would be appreciated.

Local made modification? Is the font of the serial number on the magazine body the same as the rest of the rifle (carbine)?

Wow, that is an oddity. I wish I could help. I lurk on the Gunboards forums all the time. I'm really surprised none of the gurus there have posted.

Thank you for sharing. It is one of those things I'd love to own myself.

No one has seen this modification. The quality of the work indicates it is an arsenal modification. It is not part of the original contract for the 10k ordered. I picked this up in 2009, along with 7 other South American Mausers, 7 bayonets and a bunch of muzzle caps for $2k. The previous owner passed and the widow wanted to get rid of them. The gentleman who told me about them purchased a German Military Mauser Banner training rifle .22, for $100.

One of the Gentlemen of the board lives in Peru and stated, next time he goes to Chile, he will check the Carabinero Museum to see if there is a sample there. I knew this was an oddity when I picked it up.
