Gun Talk Peruvian 1935 Mauser carbine

The Peruvians were early adopters of Mausers, by way of Argentina and their pattern 1891 (a derivative of the Ottoman 1890, which itself is a Belgian 1889 but without the barrel jacket). These early Mausers used a slightly different style of stripper clip than the regular pattern (introduced with the Spanish 1893), which is held in place by ejector/bolt stop. The 1893 pattern is instead held in by just dropping into the stripper clip guide (no spring tension), and has little nubs on the side to act as over-travel stops. When Peru (and a couple others) moved on to later Mauser designs, they wanted to continue using the old style stripper clips, so they had their guns made with different clip guides, some continued using the split system with the ejector forming half of the clip guide, and others (such as your Peruvian carbine) just having an extra tall clip guide.

As for where to find the clips you are looking for, that I do not know. However, you can either find original Peruvian, Bolivian, or Ottoman old-style clips, or you should be able to modify later pattern clips by simply grinding off the over-travel nubs on the side.

Wow that is weird that those stripper clips are different and almost impossible to find. But there might be a work around. So after doing research, what a rabbit hole that was- you were right. So you need ones that look like this one https://forum.cartridgecollectors.org/t/7-65-mauser-clips/35547/3 So on my search for them I ran across these https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/1110590 they look really close. so looking at the ammo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.65×53mm_Mauser the dimensions you need to check is. ok so the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.5×54mm_French dimensions are. Ok the bigger dimensions are the french 7.5 so it might work, they might move around a little. But it is a gamble of five bucks plus shipping. the top 3 dimensions are 7.5 french the bottom 3 are 7.65.
