There are all dealt with quite briefly compared to the main focus of the book, however (which are the main contracts and rifle patterns). adjustable rear sight has settings for 14 different distances. The primary source basis for the book also allows wonderful insight into the behind-the-scenes machinations and negotiations between FN, Steyr, and DWM over who would win the Chilean contracts.Ī few related topics are covered, like the Chilean 1895 Navy rifles, the conversion to 7.62mm NATO, and the Chilean purchase of embargoed Boer rifles/carbines. It covers the state of the Chilean military (and its associated politics) prior to the arrival of the Mauser, and has a quite detailed account of the Chilean rifle and ammunition trials that eventually led to selection of the 1893 Mauser. That being said, this does not in any way detract form the book's value as a reference to the inside story of Chilean Mauser rifles adoption. Nielsen's work has more of the academic feel in which being too expressive is somehow vaguely uncouth. I cannot help but think of a comparison to Anthony Vanderlinden's book on FN Mauser rifles, which is about an equally esoteric topic, but does a tremendous job of drawing the reader into its story. It is also relatively dry, unless one is already particularly interested in the subject matter. As an academic type of work, it is scrupulously detailed and references, with an extensive bibliography of primary sources. It is 192 pages dedicated to the testing and procurement of the Models 1895, 1912, and 1935 Chilean Model Mauser rifles and carbines (although the focus is much more on the 1895 than the other two). David Nielsen's newly released book on Chilean Mauser rifles is a tremendous piece of academic work - which is both good and bad.
