Mauser M94/14 Cavalry Carbine (dated 1916) (Carl Gustaf) - 6.5x55mm

The Model 1894 (or more commonly known M94) was a precursor to the M1896 Carl Gustaf Mauser which went into production in 1895, with left over receivers used in the M1896 full sized rifle production. It is noteworthy for its metal endcap and the fact that some later models (like the M94/14) were designed to take either the standard M1914 army bayonet or the M95 Naval bayonet (a large bladed knife).

Yugoslavian M48 Mauser - 7.92x57mm Mauser

The M48 Mauser is a post World War II intermediate-length M98 action, designed in Yugoslavia. Although similar in general appearance to the German Kar98K rifle, it is not a copy but is based on the earlier Yugoslav M24 rifle. The main difference between the M48 and the Kar98K is that the M48 receiver is 1/4" shorter than the standard-length Kar98K. They are usually easily identified by the top handguard which extends behind the rear sight, and ends just in front of the receiver ring. The model number is stamped under the crest: M48, M48A, or M48BO. M48's are regarded as a military surplus firearm and can be collected in the US at a generally cheap price due to the numbers recently imported from Europe.

Other Models

Sometimes bolt action rifles are used in films to impersonate Mauser rifles, usually in large period films. This section is specifically for bolt action rifles which are not common enough to merit their own page but are technically not Mauser rifles.

Gewehr 1888

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mannlicher Gewehr 1888 - 7.92x57mm Mauser. This sample was an issued rifle in the Ottoman Empire based in its stampings. This is a movie armory weapon.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Hanyang 88 - 7.92x57mm Mauser. This weapon saw service in the Sino-Japanese wars and the Chinese Civil War.

Also known as the Model 1888 Commission Rifle, this rifle was issued to front line German Troops in World War 1 until the Gewehr 98s caught up with production and fully replaced it in 1915. It was issued to troops serving the Ottoman Empire and was maintained by Turkish soldiers well into the 1930s. Though it can be seen outfitting German Troops in any World War 1 film, the rifle was surprisingly not a Mauser, but a Commission designed weapon that was built by various other manufacturers. The Rifle was based on Mannlicher, French Lebel and Mauser elements. When the Germans used it during the Boxer Rebellion in China, the Chinese made an unlicensed copy, the Hanyang 88 (Type 88).
