I once had an1891 Argentine cavalry carbine. It weighed about the same as a light Win 94 carbine but shot the 7.65 Mauser. It rode in a saddle scabbard on the inside of the driver's door of my '74 ford pickup. I could sometimes pick up a coyote or deer with it, but it sure slapped your shoulder blades together. We usually shot Norma 184 grain ammo at about 2300 fps out of that short barrel. It was loud and kicked hard but worth having around. I sold it while going to Wa. State Univ.
