The military of the Republic of Chile has always had a bit of a Prussian slant. Even to this day, their parade uniforms include Stahlhelms and elite units still wear Pickelhauben. Naturally their parade rifles are Mauser 98 and 95 rifles and their uniforms are often a spitting image for the German Army. The 1895 Mauser was essentially an evolution ...
First and foremost of these changes, the Modelo 1912 was made by Waffenfabrik Steyr of Austria instead of by DWM/Mauser Oberndorf of Germany. Additionally, the same rifle Chile ordered was also sold to Colombia, Mexico, Ecuador, and even China bought a few. It dispensed with the complicated and expensive Lange-Vizier rear sight for a simple tangent...
When World War One started, the Austro-Hungarian government purchased the large stocks of Modelo 1912 rifles that Steyr had yet to deliver. The rifles were modified slightly by having the rear QD sling mount replaced with a large standard sling swivel to accommodate the M.95 Steyr sling. The rear sling swivel is really the only way to differentiate...
Despite it’s length and weight, the Modelo 1912 still handles quite well on the range. The extra heft soaks up recoil better than shorter rifles. Although the straight bolt handle is a little awkward at first, a shooter can quickly become used to it. As one would expect from a pre-war Mauser, cycling of the action is slick, though if cycled without...
Over the years these Chilean Modelo 1912 rifles have been imported to the US in batches. Recently a large batch came into the country, imported by the now defunct Samco Global Arms. With the collapse of that company, its assets were put up for auction and the Modelo 1912 rifles were purchased by a number of distributors. This rifle is long and heav...
It’s becoming a bit more difficult these days to acquire a genuine rifle of the First World War. Many have been lost to time, or to the hacksaws and sandpaper of the kitchen gunsmith. In that sense these Chilean M1912s have a tremendous value as both an ersatz WW1 rifle and as one heck of a shooter thanks to the excellent 7x57mm cartridge. I picked...

Dec 29, 2005 · If it is a Steyr 1912-61, then it most likely is/was a Chilean Mauser that was converted to 7.62 NATO. 1903 Springfield 30-06 barrels were used. The threaded shank was cut off, and they were rethread to Mauser threads, and rechambered to 308/7.62. The receiver ring should say MODELO 1912-61 and stamped under that will be NATO.
Made circa 1912 at Steyr in Austria, for the Chilean government and originally chambered in 7MM Mauser, but arsenal converted to 7.62X51 circa the 1960s, this rifle remains in solid usable condition. 7.62mm NATO/.308. SOLD.
I built it entirely out of take off parts. The barrel was off a Husqvarna 9,3x57, the stock off another Husky M146. And the action I had lying around for some time not knowing what to do with it. Now it is a 9,3x62. Personally I like the Steyr 1912 better than the Brazilian 1908 but that is probably because a "Nice" 1908 is a rare find indeed.
