I just read an old posting on another board that these carbines are probably importer cut down rifles for sale to the public. Does anyone know for sure? How about Peruvian Mod 91 short rifles? Thanks for the help.

More properly a short rifle, they were made from cut-down 1891 rifles, showing a refinished cut-down stock, bent down bolt, Lange-type rear sight, 24" or so SJG-stamped replacement barrel, cut-down cleaning rod and few if any lettering, s/n or crest remaining after the rebluing/polishing process. Most were probably seldom used (Corrosive-primed ammo and ill cleaning procedures would otherwise prove me wrong) and show a fine or even mint barrel. Yes, they're for real but not an original Mauser factory product, but a local refurbished gun probably done between 1912 and the early '30s
