Mauser 71 Home Page

I.G. Mod. 71. (M1871) German Mauser Gallery The famous mauser wing safety lever at the back of the bolt. This classic feature differentiates the Mauser design and line of rifles from about all else.     The highly Gothic scriptt reads:  I.G. (Infanterie-Gewehr) Mod. 71. This particular rifle bears the Monarch's Cypher of King Ludwig of Bavaria and the top flat is marked "Amberg."  Just ahead of the receiver, stamped sideways     into the receiver flat to the right of the "Crown over L" is the figure "10.95" this is the rifle's caliber in millimeters.  Note that nominally the same, the later Mod. 71/84 Mauser is slightly different.  Ammo is interchangable, but accuracy suffers shooting later ammo in the Mod. 71.                                                                       Muzzle end of the Mod. 71 Mauser showing nosecap and rod.            MORE I.G.
