The Argentine Mausers are great, just as they are. I bought my first some forty years ago when they were selling for $29 each. I remember them coming packaged as a group in a cardboard barrel and it was a 'take your pick' sort of thing. My first was the '91 carbine and ammo was $05 each packaged loose in a wooden ammo crate. Since then I have acquired a '91 rifle in excellent shape but with the crest removed. This came from a 'black rifle' dealer in Atlanta who had no interest in this trade-in and let it go for $200 (in 2010). Other Argentines I've owned include the '98-09 carbine. Kind of hard to find those with good bores. The rifle version of the 98-09 has so far eluded me. When I see them they are usually in near new condition. The next one I come across, for sale, will be going home with me. The PRVI ammo is every bit the equivalent of 308 Winchester in power and performance. Other than the .311 bore diameter, this is a great cartridge.
