The '95 and all subsequent Mauser's lack this relief cut, making the removal and installation of the extractor include choice cuss words accompanied with the possibility of a cut finger. The second difference is that the top edge of the bolt face on a '93 has a relief cut in it that makes removing and installing the extractor very easy. (The chin can be ground off - then it will fit in a '95) Though a '95 bolt will fit in both a '93 and a '95 receiver, a bolt from an 1893 Mauser will only fit into a '93. It was later discovered that the chin was unnecessary, and it was omitted from later designs. At the time it was produced Mauser thought that this chin would assist in stripping rounds from the magazine. First, and most obvious, is that the '93 bolt has a square "chin". There are two main differences between a '93 bolt and a '95 bolt. They were manufactured into 1902 and differ from Model 1893 in a couple features so they are not identical to the Model 1893 Mauser. The quality and workmanship was as good as was humanly possible. In my opinion the Ludwig Loewe firearms were the finest firearms manufactured by the hand of man. They were manufactured by Ludwig Loewe and later DWM. This Chilean 1895 is a beautifully manufactured rifle that takes second place to no other rifle. Today, in 2021, this rifle would bring over $1,500, IMO. Prior to the Gun Control Act of 1968 rifles like this one were imported in as-new, unissued condition like this one below. It turns a rifle into a piece of wall art. This is one of the main causes of excessive headspace. This happens when the bolt lugs push back heavily and repeatedly into the lug races. I also cut off the receiver barrel threads to show better the bolt lug races, upper and lower, showing lug set-back. And I'd bet money they'll fail a field headspace gage. If you have one of these and want to shoot it I suggest only cast bullets with moderate pressure levels. I'll leave the debate to others since my mind is long ago made up. What to do? Cheap solution was to re-purpose them in the current caliber of 7.62x51 Nato. This conversion was a matter of military expediency. My webpage on this rifle has been online for twenty years and is heavily visited. Apparently this was a 1st in internet history. I removed the barrel and sectioned the breech end of the barrel. Having a vertical milling machine in the shop made this a no-brainer. Probably not real noticeable to a lot of fellows but I can be inquisitive at times.
In examining I noticed a silver colored ring at the breech of the barrel. When Century Arms in Vermont was selling off a bunch of junk I bought two of these Chilean Model 1895 Mauser rifles chambered in 7.62 Nato.
