Mexican Mausers - Pre and post revolution examples -

[I Swan]

The South American contracts are much easier to find, and quite nice. I've had an eye on a Chilean Mauser for a while. My father married into a Chilean family so I've come to appreciate its history that much more.

As a side note: I'm annoyed by the fact that the Argentinian Mausers are 7.65 while all the other Lat-Am Mausers are 7mm.

7.65 versions were also used by other countries such as Paraguay, Bolivia, and Peru as examples. And Latin American Mauser's come in many calibers. 7.65, 30-06, 7.62x51, 7x57 quickly come to mind. Chileans are much easier to find than Mexican version.

I have a Chilean 1895 carbine. I only have 3 Mexicans as I'm not willing to get gouged, hard to find and condition issues when you do.

Fascinating Eddie - I read that 3k Federales died in one day!

Not a good scene -

I've driven thru Guadalajara and noted that Tepatitlan is not to far away - Perhaps in the future I'll have a chance to drive thru and make a stop there -

It was Tepatitlan; I believe it was one of the bloodiest battles of the conflict. His family was from a nearby town but they were moved there by the Federales. It was common practice for the Federales to relocate the populations of small towns to bigger cities so they could control the country side and deprive the Cristeros from supplies. One of my dad's aunts who was alive during that time remembers blood running down the streets after the battle.
